Fast, Cheap, Overclocks Easy
Great processor, I upgraded my dual core running at 3.1 ghz to this beast. At the same time I upgraded my video card to an Radeon 6770. The combination is extremely fast and stable. I am getting 50-60 FPS on GTA-IV benchmarks and the video card is the bottleneck. It easily overclocks to 3.8 ghz by changing the multiplier and the C3 stepping automatically turns the speed down when you don't need it. I have a Zalman heatsink and at idle it runs about 36C under load its in the 40s-low 50s C. The performance of this processor is very impressive, and for the price it can't be beat.
