it is fast [Posted on 2008-06-18] I put these on my gaming machine and i can run almost every game and app with no problem, exept for crysis but i am asuming the problem there is the video card not the processor
Excellent CPU [Posted on 2008-06-26] This processor works flawlessly and runs cool even in a room that is in the mid 80s. It is much faster than my 3.6 Ghz Pentium 4 cpu that I replaced it with. I am running it on a Ga-x48-DQ6 Gigabyte motherboard with 4 Gig of Gskill memory in a VX4000 Thermaltake case with a Sapphire HD 3870 graphics card. The case has a large fan in the front and the rear and a mid size fan on the side and is a very cool running case. My girl friend has almost the same setup in the same case with the same cpu and it runs very cool too.
Good CPU [Posted on 2008-06-27] Does all that I expected. I have not used this processor for long but so far I am very pleased with it. It is a very stable and tough processor. I have run it pretty hot with no problems yet.
Great stock, OC it and it will FLY! [Posted on 2008-07-10] After some shipping issues (USPS idiocy, not Amazon's), I finally got this processor and fired it up. Stock it's really nice, but OC it a little and it FLIES. I was pleased when I received the GO stepping of this (newer edition) as it OC's much better than the earlier edition. With just the stock heat sink and a decent thermal paste, I was able to get this up to a stable 2.82 Ghz from the stock 2.4, with reasonable heat levels (during stress testing it never exceeded 59C), and didn't even have to mess with voltages to get it there. With water cooling you can easily get this well over 3 Ghz. Stable as hell, and the performance gains are incredible. If you've got a decent mobo, you can OC this to (and past) the performance of the more expensive "Extreme" processors, for about half the price. Bottom line: get this processor and you will not be sorry.
damn good [Posted on 2008-07-16] this beats my old 2.8 p4ht
this processor is amazing for its price.. well worth it!
