Review on AMD Phenom II X4 940 πŸ’» Black Edition 3.0GHz AM2+ Processor - Retail by Alvin Ng ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am very happy with this purchase, I will advise everyone!

With a regular cooler, I lived for two years in stock 3.2 Hz., On the Asus motherboard with the EPU-4 Engine program to lower the speed. After I noticed that the idle temperature was 60 degrees, but it had no effect on the very operation of the computer (photoshop, games, constant deletion of large volumes of files). I decided not to take risks, I bought a cooler for him for a larger Noctua NH-U12P SE2. I immediately overclocked it to 3.8 Hz stably, DDR1600, a multiplier of 19 and a voltage of 1.4 (because auto power jumps from 1.2 to 1.6 due to which the heating was more, in idle time 56), and so with 1.4 voltage at idle 43, at 100% load for one hour 55 . I'm satisfied .

Pros
  • Not expensive. easy to run. gives good results.
Cons
  • regular cooler horror how noisy .
