Review on High-Performance Phenom II X6 1045T 2.70 GHz Processor for Socket AM3 PGA-938 by John Hall

Collected parts for my new workstation in Revain and New Egg for the last 6 months. Now it was built. WOWWindows 7 Pro 64bitWEI=7.0 CPU temperature is 60F when idle and 104F when launching AutoCAD 2011. It starts and opens Windows 7 in less than a minute after pressing the power button. SSD power! No build issues, it ran first time and didn't miss a beat, runs cooler than my old quad core processor and keeps up with CAD. My new CAD workstation is fully bottom mounted in a repurposed HP Pavilion (Windows ME) PS, all drives are in a removable bracket that slides forward for easy maintenance and much less space than a tower case .
