Review on AMD Phenom II X4 940 💻 Black Edition 3.0GHz AM2+ Processor - Retail by Bali (hambali) ᠌

This is certainly not the most powerful and not the most expensive processor, but I do not know such practical tasks at home that would load it 100%, even without any overclocking, although it has a very large overclocking potential, maybe the largest in line and much larger than that of older models, as evidenced by its actual temperature under operating conditions and the maximum allowable temperature. In general, it seems that all Phenom 2s are physically the same, but some copies are overclocked and because of this their maximum operating temperature is artificially reduced and the thermal package is increased - but on the other hand, the status of an older model is assigned, the corresponding marking and a higher price. And if the difference is not visible (during overclocking) - why pay more?) (and it will not be visible). And also, additionally, as a marketing option, the FSB multiplier is blocked or not.)
