5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic bang for buck! 11 Nov 2010
By Andrew TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Just completed my new build with a 965 BE C3 at the heart and what a phenomenal beast it is! Upgraded from an Athlon 4600 and the difference is insane. Handles everything I throw at it and tasks such as video conversion etc are just a breeze. The stock cooler that comes with the retail kit is a tad loud at full tilt but not a major issue. This cpu would benefit form some Arctic Silver (5) paste and a non-stock cooler. Overclocking it is also a doddle and you can get 3.9ghz easy cooling the thing on air!

Update: I have now fitted a themrolab BARAM heatsink and the temps and noise have just dissappeared! Dropped mine to an idle temp of 28c and a full load temp of 45c. In fact the cooler Is soo good I know it could also cool passively! It is quite tall though so best to make sure it can fit your case! Worth changing the stock cooler I found in the end but don't get me wrong, the stock cooler does an ok job.

This chip continues to rip through most tasks, and for gaming is spot on! Plays everything exceptionally well. Very happy with this chip and it should see me for a while now, especially as the black edition has the unlocked multiplyer for easier overclocking if that your thing.

Update: I've been tinkering with an oc and it sits nice at 3.6 on stock by just updating the multi. beyond that a small vcore bump to 1.425 was needed to get 3.8 stable. I've not gone beyond that yet as I think it disables the cnq feature.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cheap powerful quad core 8 Jun 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
As of the time this product was purchased (8th May 2012 and cost £74) this was the cheapest quad-core CPU on amazon, and I have brought its little brother the AMD Phenom II X4 955 before, so I knew this would be a good buy. Personally I have an Intel CPU in my own system but can't justify the price difference as the main use for my PC is gaming - This product does just excellently. The clock speeds are high enough that is doesn't make too much difference overclocking and the four cores allow multi-threaded applications and games to run well. There is reasonable overclocking headroom as well if you want to squeeze even more performance out of it. If you do intend to overclock, I can't stress the importance of a good aftermarket cooler as the stock one provided just isn't up to the job now! One of the all-in-one watercooling kits like the Corsair H80 CPU Cooler will work wonders.

I would recommend this every day over an Intel CPU if all you are doing is office work, gaming and light editing (or anything that isn't completely high end) it simply isn't worth the extra money. I rate this 5-star just because of the amazing £74 price tag and the power it will deliver for that!

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality OC CPU 4 Sep 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
I purchased this CPU solely with the view of overclocking the transistors off it. I wanted a decent amount of processing grunt, mainly for gaming, without having to pony up for a new motherboard and associated gubbins and this chip has delivered just fine. As a quad core with a high clock speed it'll run anything that I can throw at it for day to day gaming and office work with power to spare. I wouldn't recommend this chip for a new build as it is a few years old at this point, but as an upgrade to a compatible AM3 socket system (Athlon II, Sempron) it'll do the trick just fine. For the advanced user, the chip i got also overclocked like a dream with my wife's Noctua - Heatsink + Dual Fan CPU Cooling Kit - NH-C14, hitting a stable 4.2 Ghz with very comfortable temps. Top notch value for money.

Despite it's age this chip has a lot of power. Possibly comparable to the FX 4100. Make sure you have a good heatsink and fan as the stock one is not that good unless you like it... Read more
