Speedy little budget chip,
These little chips run very fast with tuning. Most are unlockable to 4 cores and they run fairly cool. Maxed out they are still quite a bit cooler than the PII X4’s.
These little chips make great cpu’s for all-around use and budget gaming too. Be aware though the stock heatsink is crap. Try a nice inexpensive TX3 with this and you have a great low cost combo.

|athlon II /phenom II,
All i have to say is wow. i am impressed. This processor runs super fast. destroys everything i throw at it. With certain motherboards you can unlock the forth core (which i did) and it becomes a phenom II x4 B45 processor. This processor performs better than the i3-2100,and it rates a 7.3/7.9 on the windows 7 rater. This little chip is great for gaming or business.Do not hesitate to buy this! you will not be disappointed!

|Great Value for the Money Processor,
I easily unlocked the 4th core and overclocked this puppy to 3.5 with no problems. Idles at 28ºC using a Hyper 212 HSF, if you use only 3 cores it idles at 18ºC(insane!). Ran prime95 with 4th core and overclocked with no problems. I got 55ºC as the highest temperature during the stress test. This is great for budget builds and if your lucky you could get one that also unlocks the L3 cache…..I wasn’t that lucky but was happy with what I paid for.
