"Good dependable speed for the buck"

I have used this processor in a desktop home computer, every since the processor came out. So reliable, I ordered one for a friend to build him a computer. Only issue ever, was cpu cooling fan went out on motherboard and everything shut down. New fan installed and up &
running. Great features are: It runs cool, reasonable priced, runs fairly fast, for an older cpu. I used 8 GB of ram on mine which really helped out. If you want a good dependable cheap built computer, this processor will work for you. They are faster ones out there, but not at
this price. It can be over clocked, but I don't have the need.

Awesome Processor!!

Overclocked to 4.0Ghz no problem. Wei score is 7.5 and it barely uses 60 watts, and only gets up to 52 degrees underload, The only downside from all the reviews are correct the single thread performace is horrible, So anything that isn't multithreaded you'll notice the difference from a intel chip. But it's up to date with all the instructions and can't go wrong with this. BUY IT!!!!!!!Read full review...

Fast CPU

Its a fast CPU but does get hot. Just the stock fans will not do, you will need a cooling system. You will not get 4K with this so do not expect to run 2019 games. I bought 3 used - 2 worked well and the other would get ultra hot and then shut down the computer. Read full review...

Very good

I am very satisfied with performance for this price range. Keep in mind that regular box amd cooler wont do job very well, you will need something bit better to keep this beast under control. I am using low budget cooler master with heat pipes and temperature goes max up to 50'C under 100% usage.Read full review...

If you can snap one up for under 40 its still a good deal

pair this up with a decent amount of ram with a good video card on some older boards and it will still get the job done. A classic budget cpu that is still decent today and cheap.

Works as expected. Very happy.

Got this CPU to have more cores for my rig. Did not have the need for more than this (4 cores) CPU has.

Works as expected. Very happy. I now have my PC up to par with my mother's new laptop.>
The AMD APUs may compare better up against this product, but I was not into having a GPU as part of the CPU. Besides I am a nVidia user for the graphic needs.Read full review...

Great computer upgrade.

Really good up date for my old computer, passed it on to my wife. I on the other hand bought a new computer for me. She thinks her computer is great now.

Runs faster than rated

Popped it in my Gigabyte AM3+ MB and though I didn't overclock it it came up at 4.1 Ghz and has been running fine ever since. Got it to replace a FX 4300 that I had previously which got damaged. Always scary to buy a used processor but so far so good.Read full review...
