Epic AMD Power,
I decided to take my grad money to the local computer store! After getting suggestions from my fellow computer nerd friends I decided to, among other things, pick up this CPU(AMD Phenom II x4 965 Black Edition AM3 125w) NOT the 145w version.
Just Cause 2 was stable in high resolution settings when outputting to my 40″ LCD HDTV in 1360×768. Crysis Warhead runs great on enthusiast(max details) with Anti-Aliasing turned OFF. I’m running the CPU overclocked at 3.85Ghz. Ran Prime95 for 4 hours and it never restarted or hiccuped. When I had it at 3.96 it was not happy and restarted a minute into the stress test. At […] they got it stable at 3.86. You can go higher but you are taking risks even with a better cooler. I have a Cooler Master hyper 212 Plus.
It runs about 53 degrees at stress. My motherboard (Asus M4A79xtd EVO unlocked all 4 cores)
The CPU seems to handle everything I can throw at it. Video Encoding speeds are decent. A two hour DVD movie ripping to h.264 in 720p will take about 25 to 30 minutes. Sherlock Holmes is a 25gb Blu-Ray disc and it ripped that in roughly 4 hours Full HD movie files are hot. And the file was only 4gb.
My friend has an i7 and I am sure he can encode Blu-Ray faster but at what cost? His i7 core still runs for around $600 and I got this CPU for less than $200!!!

|4 Cores 3.4 Ghz this is Fast,
This baby is so fast that Crysis is begging for Mercy in term of frame rate on 60 FPS on 720p and fast PC Performance and Power Saving , and Silent Fan Sound i give it more than 5 if i can.
Thanks and regards Sulaiman from Kuwait
