Pros: I have it OC'd to 3.0GHz on air cooling. It stays around 33C idle and 43-45C while gaming. I've had it run Prime95 for 9 hours straight and it went to 58C but never crashed and is rock solid. You can't beat the speed/price of this cpu. I upgraded from a 6400+ BE and this is much faster when OC'd.

Cons: Will need to upgrade from stock heat sink in order to reach 3.0+ GHz.
