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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great little workhorse

Yes, old, but I have older hardware that is compatible with it. If I had to upgrade to a new FX with six or eight cores it would cost me 40-50 more than buying this old Phenom II X6 to upgrade my motherboard, but I don't sell for 4 modules equal to 8 cores (single modules = 2 cores) The only downside for some would be the terrible heatsink that came stock from AMD, I reused my Corsair liquid cooling from my Phenom IIX2. Very satisfied, just wish I got this when it was a lot cheaper. :)

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Quick start guide
