Review on AMD Athlon II X3 400E Energy Efficient Rana 2.2 GHz 3x512 KB L2 Cache Socket AM3 45W Triple-Core Processor for Retail - AD400EHDGIBOX by Makoto Sato ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

I put it on ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO together with CoolerMaster 212. The idle temperature is 30, under load it does not rise above forty (it's already summer!). I tried to unlock the fourth core, but it turned out to be defective. It did not work with any combination of frequency, voltage, etc. Nothing helped. Although, initially such a task was not set. But for fun, I easily overclocked it to 3.5 GHz, but left this idea for the future, silence is more important. When using the EPU utility, it consumes only 5 watts in idle time (as it is written in the program window). I paid 2300 rupees for it and am satisfied with the purchase. All games are played on high (video costs 5670 from Raskolnikov).

Pros
  • Low price. High multiplier, easy to overclock.
Cons
  • -
