Pros: Fast, stable Cons: doesn't come with heatsink/fan, but there is a large empty space in the box where the heatsink/fan is supposed to go. Other Thoughts: It does say it in the description that there is no cooling device included, but I didn't even think to look at that because I've never seen a retail processor without its stock heatsink/fan. from Newegg.com Pretty sturdy, considering the accident that caused 6-10 pins that got bent on it. After bending it back, it works as if it never happened. Cons: None Other Thoughts: AMD AM2 790X ATX Mobo4 Gb RAMGeForce 9600 GT from Newegg.com Pros: Pretty fast and stable. This is for upgrading my old AMD sempron. It works out quite good. from Newegg.com Price point creates amazing value for this chip. Cons: None so far.... Actually, I forgot that the Black Edition doesn't include a fan and heatsink (my fault, although NewEgg would probably get more business if they prominently displayed a reminder about this to customers), and I wanted to build the computer ASAP, so I went to the brick and mortar store and shelled out almost $40 bucks for a copper HS/fan that only has 3 pins (and makes more noise than I expected), when I could've just bought the AMD stock version off E*b*a*y for 20bucks/free shipping.... In other words, make arrangements to buy a heatsink/fan if you're getting a black edition processor. from Newegg.com Pros: Performance is well worth the price. Low power consumption, Idles at 33c and load @ 44c (overclocked to 3.0ghz) with my AC freezer 64 pro. does everything i need it to do very well. from Newegg.com Pros: What a great processor, you can not beat the performance of any AMD processor for the money. This is a great processor, because its easy to overclock if needed. from Newegg.com Pros: What can i say, i went from a 3500+ 64 Athlon to this and the speed is just amazing. I am really happy with what i got out of this processor. from Newegg.com Pros: Fast processor for the money. Cons: Fan/heat sync not included. from Newegg.com Pros: Price, can be overclocked some, decent speed. Cons: Very limited overclocking range, clocked down DDR2 1066 memory to DDR2 800 due to it's memory divisors. Other Thoughts: To those wondering why it doesn't come with a heatsink, AMD's Black Edition processors do not come with heatsinks. They marketed these with the idea that a lot of people will buy an aftermarket heatsink instead of using the stock one. from Newegg.com Pros: Fast for a dual-core and fairly cheap. Easily over-clockable and they give ya a little tr@mp stamp sticker for the case! Cons: Didn't come with stock cooler and it runs a little warmer than I am used to[idles @ 40C] Other Thoughts: Not a quad-core but AMD never disappoints me! from Newegg.com
