Well this product is definately one of the best for value. It clocks easily and when done, it's amazing!

I use this for gaming mostly while having background things on/running. When overclocked this is a real winner for me personally. I can only advise you to google benchmarks for this processor as me providing them to you will take up too much space and time.

There is no cons here just a lot of pros.

Only get one of these if you are on a dual/tri core am3 as an upgrade. If you are on a quad like the 940-970 then I wouldn't personally, it's not enough to justify cost over performance (unless you sell your previous chip, even then I would look at benchmarks first).

Well I hope you enjoy this as much as I am.

Amazing 6 core cpu. I went for this processor after reading excellent reviews about it. I have since overclocked it to 4GHz without any problems using the H50 water cooler. If you want a cheap option to a 6 core cpu, this is the one for you.

Verified Purchase
I bought the processor as an upgrade to me current AM2+/AM3 motherboard.
Right, here is where you need to know that a mother board that is AM2+/AM3 registered is NOT really socket AM3 verified. The AM3 6 core processer has a different pin configuration. If your motherboard is AM2+/AM3 do not trust it. Go for a motherboard that is AM3 specific. That way your processer will just slot in.

Remember too that your motherboard will probably be memory specific to AM3 memory chips. Anyway please see my review on motherboard purchase elsewhere to link with my processer.

Having boutht the motherboard and memory upgrade, positioning the processer was a breeze. Within minutes the processor and fan that comes with it were positioned and then turn on. After a few tweaks to the bios of the motherboard - ZAP - Windows 7 configures a few items and then rebooted. Following this, the computer was up and running and boy the speed was fantastic. Web pages and word/excel files opened in a second or two. As a webmaster hosting an extensive website the speed was very welcome. As I edit photo/video work the processor handled matters with ease. This processor just loves to work...through what you can at it - it has not disappointed me yet.

Hope this helps
Colin.

Been some years now since i bought this cpu.

BRILLIANT!
Very fast very reliable and very cool (using a Zalman cpu cooler)

My pc is reading it at 2.81ghz and not had any issues at all.

Not much i can say about this cpu without going into my pc spec but everybody will have different setups
so all i can do is tell you how reliable this thing is.

I have had it for years now and it still holds it own to this day with zero issues.

although its a bit old but for anyone on a budget this cpu is amazing ! handles everything i throw at it with ease and can be over clocked easily but the stock fan is bad you should get an after market cooler(quieter and cooler)

To be honest, this is probably the most powerful system I've yet built, and some of this has to go to this processor. A no-nonsense six core Phenom II package that doesn't need all the goofing around of the often discredited "Bulldozer" processor, I've yet to find anything that gives it any troubles. Tying it with a reasonable size SSD for its system drive (with all the usual precautions), a good graphics card and 8GB memory using W7 64-bit gives me something that I'm really pleased with.
