Review on AMD Athlon II X2 270 Regor 3.4 GHz Socket AM3 Dual-Core Processor – Retail ADX270OCGMBOX: High-Performance Desktop CPU with Dual Cores and 2x1 MB L2 Cache by Adisorn Nasa ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good value for money, I recommend it.

A worthy competitor not only to the E5300 and E5400 processors, but, perhaps, could compete with the E7400, although this processor belongs to a different price segment. Bottom line: a good processor for a fairly reasonable price. Still, I'm going to eventually put something more serious on my Gigabyte GA-M52L-S3P, or Phenom II X2 560 or Phenom II X4 945, but this is not soon.

Pros
  • Very quiet stock cooler, when I assembled it, I was even surprised how quiet it works after Athlon 2200+ with an expensive cooler from Zalman. The temperature even after overclocking was 37-38 degrees, and the mentioned Athlon 2200+ ran at 59-65 degrees without load. I was also pleased with the price - when buying in the most expensive salon in the city, it cost me a discount (I took several components at once) about 1800r. This is my first dual-core processor and, to be honest, it pleased me.
Cons
  • I didn’t find any obvious shortcomings, except, perhaps, that after overclocking with the regular program Easy Tune to 3 GHz, a BSOD crashes after some time, but this can be caused by other reasons.
