Pros: Very fast, noticeably faster then the 65nm versions. Was able to unlock the 4th core using (ACC) Biostar MB with 790 AMD chipset. 4th core is stable and I have been running it with no problems on Vista x64. from Newegg.com Pros: 45nm = very, very cool with the stock fan. My system has the cores running at under 1GHz (Cool 'n' Quiet) on or near idle and it reads 27 degrees C. from Newegg.com Pros: Paired this with DDR2 800 in a ASRock A780GXE mobo ("AM3 ready"). Working nicely with no problems so far. from Newegg.com Pros: This chip runs awesome. Fast Chip. Fast boot in WIN7RC. OC using GUI software provided with Biostar Board (T-series) in Windows. from Newegg.com Pros: great cpu 4 the price i Bleave it beats eny old Phenomx3 triple core 65 vs 45 will overclock more and stay much cooler i only have 2 case fans so it stay at about 28/30c ran a test stay about at 45c load after 1 hour i just dontunderstand how to overclock i need to learn how it dont have unlocked multiplyer with im sure u can unlock i tryed to bump the FSB 1 at a time and it cashed after at 2734Mhz can someone help me?? Cons: Didint come with the cooper AMD heatsink i looked upcame with the aluminum heatsink from Newegg.com Pros: For the price, this is one of the best CPU's money can buy, especially if you're looking to build a low-cost gaming rig. The extra L3 cache per core over the Phenom II quad-cores means that in certain applications, this processor will outrun even those at the same clock speeds. If it's your thing, these are very overclockable, I've seen test where these have been stably clocked to 3.2 GHz without the slightest bump in core voltage, and stably clocked up to 3.8Ghz(!) with only a minor increase in voltage. from Newegg.com Pros: Great CPU for the money. Amazingly fast even stock, but I've got it overclocked to 3.11ghz stable right now (240 bus speed X13!) and it idles at 32c with a 25c mobo temp. Voltage on the CPU at 1.325 which is the max it says to go on a constant basis, so with higher voltage I'm sure you can get even more out of it! from Newegg.com Pros: Incredible, I upgrade to this from my old pentium 3. And all i have to say is that this phenom x3 is at least10% faster then my old P3. I can load up apps like Media Player Classic with ease. from Newegg.com I'm still 100% satisfied, this CPU is a great deal for the money and is very fast. Cons: Stock heat sink is a real joke, very tiny and all aluminum. I just bought a 9600 phenom for my backup PC and it's a huge copper base with heat pipes HSF. You would think with a $120 cpu you would get a decent HSF, and I got a really sweet one with a $90 cpu? from Newegg.com Pros: 3.00ghz stable (use good overclockable memory) Cons: None that I could find Other Thoughts: Unlocked fourth core runs fine. Ovclkd to 3.3 ghz but use 3.00ghz as a safety margin most electrical designs have 10% safety margin minimal. from Newegg.com
