Best choice I ever made

I just switch from an AMD Phenom II quad core 3.2ghz to this little beast and wow what a difference! I obviously changed my mobo as well. I've never really cared much to overclock anything so it's running factory but that's all I need. With my set up I've run Bioshock 2, Crysis 2, COD Black Ops, and Batman Arkham City all at max or near max settings with no problems. Zero lag! If you're looking for a great budget processor this is the one!

None!

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Working CPU fan would have been nice

Takes what is thrown at it like it is supposed to on a budget

CPU fan that came with it was DOA. Was not going to wait for RMA so I had to grab a compatible fan and use it instead

Other than the fan issue (don't they test those things before they leave the factory?) it's a decent CPU for the price, and it did take the heat from a non working OEM fan for the 10 minutes it took me to notice it wasn't spinning. Have this on an Intel BOXDH67BLB3 mobo with 6gb RAM
