Just Wonderful... [Posted on 2008-04-01]
Coupled this with a Thermaltake CL-P0371 heatsink and running very cool. The performance you get for this price is amazing and my MSI K9A2 Platinum couldn't be happier running this with 4GB Patriot Viper PC6400 RAM. Throw in an ASUS EAH 3870 and the Razer AC-1 Gamer sound card and you have a stable system. This is more than worth the investment that will last for quite some time.

OOOOhh Yeah!!! [Posted on 2008-04-27]
What can I say! Fast, stable, and a pretty good price. This is the "Black Edition", sooo, it is eminently "overclockable", with the appropriate software. So far, have had it "overclocked" at 3.7 ghz, then "lost my nerve", but was still stable and running quite happily. However, please bear in mind that this model does NOT come with a "stock fan", and, if you are gonna "overclock" it, you are going to need to invest in a VERY good processor fan (or maybe even "water cooling") to help keep it cool and stable. Am currently using a Thermaltake V1, which is HUUGE, and looks kinda like an immense copper/blue led Butterfly, in conjunction with a pair of Antec TriCool 120mm Blue Led Case Fans, and everything is running wonderfully.
If you are not interested in 'overclocking", then go for the "standard edition" processor, which is far cheaper, and DOES come with a perfectly acceptable "stock' processor heatsink/fan unit.

great processor [Posted on 2008-05-20]
great processor, fast and easy to install. Be advised you will need a top shelf heat sink unit (processor cooler) to cool within acceptable ranges. processor tends to run hot, should be around 42c at idle and + 10c at peak. cannot run past 63c according to amd.

Good upgrade, but runs quite hot [Posted on 2008-06-14]
I enjoy this CPU now that I finally got the heat issues sorted out. And it wasn't cheap to do so. When I first got it I had it in an older Antec case with two 120mm fans and an Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro. Idled at 45C, under load ran at up to 65C. Popped for a new Coolermaster Stacker Evo 830 case, two extra fans and a Xigmatek 1283 heatsink/fan. After all that the temps came down to 36-40 idle and 49-52 load. Much better, but bear in mind this 125W chip will need a better than average case (ventilation wise) and hefty HSF to keep in the safe range.
