In game i notice a fps diffrence. Cons: Didn't get it sooner. Also it didn't come with the high end Heatpipe heatsink. Stable at 1. Going to try for 3. I didn't use the stock heatsink. Pros: A short update. Have it mildly OC'd to 3. Will OC it a bit more but it is not necessary. Pros: Quickly OCs to 3ghz stable changing just the multiplier. Using an ACC motherboard found on SB or higher southbridge increases the stability of overclocks on phenoms, and the , despite its athlon moniker is a phenom x4 with 2 cores disabled, and it easily outperforms other athlon x2s with the same advertised clocks.
YMMV, but on my build, it runs cool and feels like a dream. Incredible performance upgrade from my old x2. Cons: Only an average overclocker. The first mhz are easy. With some patience, you can get another 1 or mhz with voltage increases, though perhaps only on an ACC mobo. Not a lot of cons though--it's a great chip even at stock speeds.
Overall Review: Got the combo together with the biostar gx3 motherboard. Used stock cooler, though I've read some people didn't get a heatsink, I did. Nothing fancy like the ones that come with phenoms, but it gets the job done. Keep in mind that no two chips are created equal. Your mileage will vary, but this chip is a lot of bang for your buck. I upgraded from a skt x2 and the difference, even at stock speeds is incredible.
My video compression mpeg2 to xvid is Almost twice as fast, and I do a lot of HTPC tasks, so it's a huge time savings for me. Although my last processor was a dual core as well, my ability to multitask is dramatically improved, perhaps because of the huge cache increase, I don't really know.
Even performing a Prime95 torture test maxing out both cores I was able to smoothly browse and watch a tv show. No hiccups or stutters. Also, Newegg rocks. Not just the store, but the customer reviewers are top notch. Keep i. Cons: Had to choose between mother's day present or this. So, I got this. Thanks for all the times you yelled at me mom and ignored me when I was a kid. Pros: This is actually a Phenom unlocked with 2 cores disabled, very fast, stays cool in the right case.
Overclocks very well. Plays games without a hitch. Overall Review: I commented once before when I just got this chip. Right out the box you can overclock on the stock cooler. Yes it is true.
In fact, after I "burned-in" the cpu I in fact got lower temperatures and had a lower vcore than stock on my board.
In addition I have 2 3. The case has one mm case fan and W PSU all running very stable. Got a few errors only because I just pulled my HDD out of my old dell and right into this without reinstalling windows no problemo. Overall Review: I bought this cpu for a gaming computer I built "on the cheap". It is as fast as the equivalent Core 2 Duo. I have it oc'd to 3. Sold by: Newegg Shipped by Newegg. This item is currently out of stock and it may or may not be restocked.
Out of Stock. Add To Wish List. Are you an E-Blast Insider? The core voltage in Athlon X2 is 1. When it comes to overclocking the Phenom X3 we could raise the base clock from MHz to MHz to give a speed of 2.
With Athlon X2 we were able to increase the clock multiplier of this Black Edition processor and zipped up to 3. The real surprise lies in the power draw figures as the overclocked Phenom X3 required an extra 30W under load while the Athlon X2 only wanted an extra 5W. This shows that the Athlon X2 compares very favourably to Core 2 Duo although it has to be remembered that you can overclock the E to 4GHz without difficulty.
That forces us to take an educated guess that the 2. This dual-core CPU brings the technical advancements of the Phenom range to a cheaper, lower price and lower power package and compares well with the competition from Intel.
