Pros: This is a huge improvement over my 9600 (gateway gt5676) yes, even without the bios update on the rs780 mystery boards this thing will work. Has made my World of Warcraft experience amazing. from Newegg.com Pros: quick and cheap for what you get 1 gaming is great2 it is cheap 3 you can unlock it4 doesnt take much power5 fast I got 9.8 sec on Wprime @ 3.8 ghz and I am waiting for my good PSU to hit 4 ghz. I am running this CPU offf a 350 W for now and it runs great Cons: none it works Other Thoughts: if you get this get a decent motherboard and at least try to unlock it. from Newegg.com Pros: 2.8 ghz would be fine for most, but with this processor I have been able to get it to 3.2ghz stably and intend to push it higher. Dropped it into my AM2+ Gigabyte board and it worked without any trouble. from Newegg.com Pros: It's a triple core Phenom II!it's a black edition so you can overclock really easy, my highest (very) stable clock is 3.600 Ghz at 1.408 vcore(prime 95 stable!). it will do 3.4 on stock voltage!40% overclock gives 40% speed boost! from Newegg.com Pros: I bought this cpu for my new gaming pc. Ive always used AMD, since Athlon XPs, and had tons of 939s. from Newegg.com Pros: Out of the box I raised the multiplier to 17 an hit 3.4 ghz with no other changes at all. 30 fps minimum in Crysis with all high settings an post processing set to very high for the sun shafts. from Newegg.com Pros: 14X241 I OVERVOLTED CPU AND NB CPU MEMORY IS OVERVOLTED BUT I HAVE 1066 SO ITS RUNNING AT 920 I NEED AM3 MAIN BOARD FASTER STOCK MEMORY WITH THIS CPU WOULD BE BETTER. CPU VOLTAGE 1.500 NOT REAL HOT AT IDLE OR LOAD LOAD UPPER 50'S C. from Newegg.com Pros: I'm glad I valued this over any other CPU, even Intel. Out of the box able to unlock & O/C to 3.7Ghz. from Newegg.com Pros: First off, I got this cpu at auction, but I felt compelled to write a review since I've been with newegg from the very beginning. This replaced my phenom 9600 that ran at 2.3ghz. from Newegg.com Pros: Runs cool. Pretty good horsepower. Unlocked multiplier means I can either overclock it for extra juice or underclock it to save noise/power/heat. Cons: None so far. from Newegg.com
