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 Ada Adamek ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great value for the money, definitely recommended!

Unfortunately, I failed to unlock the 4th core. Apparently my model had a really broken fourth core. But that's not the point. The important thing is that in combination with a Palit gts 250 (512mb/256bit) video card and 3GB of RAM. games all fly. In addition, windows itself thinks much faster . all programs load quickly . everything works quickly! ======================================== The idle temperature stays around 20 degrees. In the spring - 33-35 degrees (an hour of play in Left4Dead2 at max. settings) at a critical temperature of 75 degrees. The tests were carried out in winter. However, I do not advise you to take this processor. Because for the same money, and even cheaper (which is strange), you can find a fellow 445. He is even smarter. 3.1Ghz vs 3Ghz. :)

Pros
  • low price low temperature good performance
Cons
  • they don't exist in the regular model. in the BOX model - a terrible cooler! the little 70mm fan screeches relentlessly! :)
