Just super, the product is made wonderfully, very satisfied.

I am completely satisfied with the purchase, before that I sat exclusively on Intel, now the entire system is on AMD and there are no problems. If we consider similar (in terms of performance) stray from Intel, then the price would increase by 2022-2500 (per cent, video, mother), but does it have to be paid for Intel just because it is Intel? In most applications, there is no difference, and what will be is indistinguishable (compared to Ai5 and 260 force). If there is a desire to "leave" the…

Pros
  • High-performance quad-core processor for reasonable money. Works in tandem with 4890 just fine.
Cons
  • No.

The best purchase in my life, I will definitely buy it again.

I recently bought this percentage on the Scoop for 4800r, immediately put it in the computer and decided to drive it away, on the MSI 870-C45 and under the CM Hyper 212 Plus with two turntables it overclocked to a stable 4.0GHz at 1.52v, I drove it according to various tests - everything is fine, the temperature is not higher 56 degrees under linpack and OCCT CPU. Actually, the performance level is very good for its price, you can easily compare it with the i5 750, and with the price of a…

Pros
  • 1) Small price 2) Low heat dissipation 3) Good overclocking potential 4) Can be installed in AM2+ boards
Cons
  • Until now, AMD has lamellas on the CPU, very uncomfortable.

Phenom II: features of working with DDR3-1333 memory Lexagon / 13.02202222 07:25 / link to material / printable version This week, AMD published information in the corresponding section of its website about technical characteristics of Phenom II processors in Socket AM3. Many of our foreign colleagues noted one feature of the built-in memory controller, which I would like to talk in more detail. As it turns out, Phenom II processors of the C2 stepping do not guarantee stable operation…

Pros
  • Price - quality is good
Cons
  • Yes, there seems to be one ., in the comments there is a question for experts

I'm amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

I took an excellent processor to Aliexpress half a year ago for 2022, I didn’t try to overclock it, the motherboard itself increases the multiplier a little as needed, the idle temperature is 30g. you can warm up to 60 under load, although cooling costs a Zelman inexpensive tower. By the way, it was enough to cool the Athlone 6000+ 3.0GHz, and it warmed up to 70. They say you can unlock 2 more cores if the BIOS can do it, unfortunately mine can't. In general, if you need to revive an old…

Pros
  • He is worth his money.
Cons
  • At the moment, only BU can be found.

Not everything is so bad, the average purchase in quality.

It seems to work well in games, for example, in strategies, in dynamic games like Unreal, where 100 FPS is already low at the adept level, and at the god level, where the opponent moves up to 10 times per second, you won’t go far with such a memory controller. Maybe I'm wrong (: The architecture is old, it eats a lot: you need a power supply, cooling is more expensive, unprofitable. Maybe a very good memory will help. If you take it, then only with a subsequent move to a bulldozer.

Pros
  • Price, gaming performance. Good motherboards for an adequate price with support for 2100 RAM and higher, the ability to install a Buldozzer processor on such a mother in the future
Cons
  • Hot, there is a valve for 400 hryvnias, 33 degrees in idle, a poor memory controller, I have a CoreQard Q6600 on another machine that is already 5 years old, the same, and this xeon is even colder in overclocking.

Great product, best quality.

I took the boxless version. I put a Cooler Master Hyper TX3 cooler on it, overclocked it to 3.5 GHz. (my first overclocking experience) everything works fine. The seven is loaded at standard frequencies for 46 seconds, during overclocking - 39. With this overclocker, the temperature rose by only one or two degrees, (xs, maybe this is due to the case with powerful ventilation) and performance increased by about 30% Are you faced with the choice of which system to build? For AMD or Intel…

Pros
  • Great processor! Price/quality is great!
Cons
  • They simply don't exist.

I am amazed at how well the product is made, just magically!

At 3.7 GHz it is also stable (1 hour of Linpak), but lowered to 3.6 just in case. At 3.8, the test already gave an error somewhere in the ninth minute. This is all at 1.265 volts. I didn’t even try to look for the overclocking ceiling by raising the voltage, because it makes sense in the extra. I don't see any heat dissipation at excessive performance. I also overclocked the memory controller to 2600 MHz, voltage - 1.225 V. - the results of tests with memory improved significantly. Here it…

Pros
  • I got it in exchange for Athlone II x4 620 + 4 GB of consumer-grade RAM. Revision C3 (125 W). It turned out to be not hotter than Athlone in terms of heat dissipation; I lowered the voltage to 1.265 V. and overclocked it to 3.6 GHz.
Cons
  • The box cooler even at the nominal frequency does not keep the temperature within 62 and makes a lot of noise, I installed the good old Titan for 500.)

I'm very happy, it really is worth buying.

Everyone puzzled over how to make an abdeid. Change the system (motherboard, RAM, percent) or try to upgrade mine . The choice fell on the second option when I saw this percentage for sale from my hands for 2. Stood up instead of my AMD 5200+ dual core. And I must say I did not lose, the system took off! All test scores more than doubled. Games GTA, Hitman 5, NFS, etc. go on high settings without brakes! I think I’ll live on it for another year, and then I’ll change the system. I'm 100%…

Pros
  • Low price, decent performance. Doesn't heat up.
Cons
  • They are not available for the AM2+ platform.

I was surprised by the quality for the price.

When installing, I could not fix the radiator for a long time - I could not attach the second clamp in any way. As a result, he did this by holding the metal plate on the back of the motherboard on the other side. I don't know if this is a peculiarity of the boxed heatsink, or if there is such a mount on the board itself. In the end, everything ended well :). By the way, in the first two days the processor heats up, and then it gets colder in operation - probably the thermal paste layer warms…

Pros
  • An excellent fast processor, today it is even for growth - most users are unlikely to use all its power. The boxed version comes with an excellent heatsink. According to the nix rating, this model surpasses all i5.
Cons
  • I did not notice any cons in my work.

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I'm satisfied, the product is exactly as described.

At the nominal frequency, it works stably with a core voltage of 1.2W, which allows you to completely solve possible problems with cooling. Overclocking was limited to 3380MHz (260x13) at 1.34V (with Cooler Master N520). At the same time, the system successfully passes the OCCT test, heating the processor up to 60 degrees. Further overclocking is impossible, because the temperature exceeds the critical level and the system loses stability.

Pros
  • Low price, 4 cores, L3 cache - in particular, a great option for upgrading an old system (just be sure that the motherboard supports it; also note - it is not compatible with AM3).
Cons
  • TDP 125W is actually too much. If ever I buy such a hot processor again, then only if its price is as good as this one is now.

It has some flaws but the product is usable.

For some reason, the frequency fluctuates, sometimes 800 Mhz, sometimes 2600. I don’t know why this happens. It is VERY HOT, and the cooling is not the best. stands in ASUS M4N78 SE, works with MSI HD4870 1GB. In games, there are very strong FPS drawdowns, although the vidyashka is normal, I tried it with the I5-4670K, just heaven and earth. I have Phenom X4 II 810

Pros
  • Ummm, I don’t know what to write . Well, except that you can put a socket in AM2 + or AM2, as I did
Cons
  • And here are their names, let's go to the comments.

I was surprised by the quality for this price.

I replaced Athlon II x2 215 with Phenom II x4 925, immediately noticed an increase in performance, Windows began to load a little faster, GTA 4 began to fly))) Windows rated it at 7.2 parrots Now about the sad. He's hot enough. The BOX cooler from the 965 phenoma brings down the temperature to a maximum of 44 degrees in idle, and warms up to 55-58 degrees in load. Naturally, the cooler spins to the fullest and makes unpleasant noise. The problem is solved by buying normal cooling. Well, what…

Pros
  • Excellent value for money
Cons
  • Hot, I would even say the hottest of all the stones that I have ever had

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

it’s been working for a long time at a frequency of 3.8 GHz for a year somewhere I bought it (the parasite doesn’t chase further, it’s a chapel for 965), everyone says they say it only trolls up to 62 degrees, nothing like that in my room is 37 degrees and it’s stuffy to ahrine like , it’s so hot when it’s idle, it’s 60 degrees, with a load in Karaizis 1 at max settings of 75-80 degrees, the vidyaha duck finally heats up to 110 degrees, they don’t even touch the system unit, nothing burned out,

Pros
  • a powerful and hardy stone I will not say anything bad
Cons
  • I don't see it for that price.

A good quality product, I rate this purchase perfectly.

This is certainly not the most powerful and not the most expensive processor, but I do not know such practical tasks at home that would load it 100%, even without any overclocking, although it has a very large overclocking potential, maybe the largest in line and much larger than that of older models, as evidenced by its actual temperature under operating conditions and the maximum allowable temperature. In general, it seems that all Phenom 2s are physically the same, but some copies are…

Pros
  • In my opinion, the most optimal processor from the quad-core Phenom 2 line for a very quiet home multimedia system. It costs not much more than younger models, and differs from older models in a significantly smaller thermal package of 95W versus 125 or 140W and a maximum allowable temperature of 71 degrees versus 62 - i. E. less heat and more resistant to overheating. In idle mode with the Zalman CNPS 9500 AM cooler at minimum speed and no case fans, the processor temperature was only 23 degrees, in medium load mode and under the same conditions of almost silent operation, an average of 33-36 degrees. You can also compare the price with the analogue in performance from Intel - Corei5, which is cheaper than 8000 can not be bought.
Cons
  • Only if a considerable price, I took it for 5623, but it is completely worth the money.

A valuable purchase, some advantages!

I bought it when the price for it was about 300 uev. Now in the gaming computer it already costs 1100, and this one has migrated to the second computer (I use 6 network screws as a file cleaner). In the system, water cooling and 32 degrees are achieved only at maximum loads for an hour. And this despite the fact that the mosfet, chipset, vidic and power supply also hang on the same system. When this processor worked under Noctua NH-C14 cooling, the temperature reached 36 at medium speeds and…

Pros
  • All advantages are described in the characteristics. All the good things we wanted to say have already been said.
Cons
  • Warming up. Choose the right cooling or take the boxed version. Although noisy, it copes and does not heat up above 50 (at 25 in the room).

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

I work in a computer center. I know a little about the peculiarities of the market and the marketing policy of iron manufacturers . Therefore, when I was choosing a new system unit for myself, it was out of the question to assemble it based on Intel, since their cost by 40 percent is a brand fee and multi-billion dollar advertising costs)))) ) At the same time, there is no particular difference in performance, this is a FACT. An ordinary user will NEVER see or feel it at all. But you will feel…

Pros
  • 1. 4 cores, quietly overclocked through the BIOS to 3.8 GHz! 2. Unlocked multiplier and the ability to overclock the L3 cache by increasing the frequency of the north bridge from 2022 to 2700 mhz (again through the BIOS) 3. Large power reserve for the future. In the most powerful games like subway 2033 percent is only 30 percent loaded! 4. Price. from Intel for such an amount, buy only i3 or i5, which this percentage will tear to smithereens)))))))))
Cons
  • No

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

Of course, the percentage is now obsolete, but it still holds the performance bar, and the prices are attractive. Bulldozers disappointed with their specific performance, therefore, at the moment, the most productive amd-shnye processors (with the most productive cores separately) can be considered the hair dryer 2 family, to which this 955th belongs

Pros
  • Quad-core processor for less than 3000. (If now you take a boxless version, I took a boxed version in February 2022 at a price of about 5000.) Productive, with a free multiplier, enough for everything your heart desires (for now, enough). It goes without saying that the price-performance ratio is very good, there are simply no Intel 4-core CPUs at this price, and Intel CPUs with comparable performance will cost more. Overclocked without raising the voltage up to 3.8 GHz by raising the reference frequency and changing the multiplier, and even up to 4.0 GHz, by changing only the multiplier
Cons
  • Decent heating under load, and at rest not too cold, when compared with dual-core atlons for the am3 socket. Lower performance of CPU cores compared to intel cores i3, i5, i7 with a comparable operating frequency ("trouble" of AMD processors since 2022, after the release of oak bark). Non-guaranteed work with ddr3 memory with an operating frequency above 1333 MHz, for example. ddr3-1600

The product is of good quality, there is only one minor defect.

a powerful and inexpensive processor operating at the limit of the imperfect architecture of AMD processors, losing in this regard to the latest architecture of Intel i-core processors operating at much lower frequencies and lower power consumption, but it has a lower price. If you have extra money IMHO, you should seriously think about assembling a system based on the Intel i5 processor, which is only a little more expensive than the 965 hair dryer, but is made using a more advanced technology

Pros
  • powerful relatively inexpensive processor, great for games, good price-quality ratio - IMHO much better than the Intel i7, which is about 15-20% faster in games, but it costs much more and is certainly better than the already "obsolete" core 2 duo; open multiplier - easily "chases" up to at least 3900 MHz; built-in memory controller supporting both dd2 and dd3
Cons
  • high power consumption (125W for the 3rd revision) and, consequently, high heating, the boxed cooler (rather noisy) hardly allows you to step over the critical temperature of 62 degrees; more expensive price for additional 200 MHz 965 models in comparison with the previous model 955 IMHO is generally unjustified because there is practically no performance increase in tests, besides, 955 is chasing the same as 965

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The perfect product for any user!

The processor is a bomb! Better than any intel! All games fly at maximum speed! (And if it glitches, it’s only because of the incompatibility of the OS and the game) It makes no sense to buy a very powerful percentage! . On maximum graphics, GTA 4 thinks no higher than 50% (1 core 70%, 2 core 40% ,3 core 50%, 4 core 40%) on average. Also on CRYSIS AT THE MAXIMUM. With a water cooler, when idle, the temperature is not higher than 23 C!, and through Everest, when all 4 cores think at 100%, it…

Pros
  • POWERFUL FOR GAMES WHAT YOU NEED! COLD FROM AMD!
Cons
  • does not exist

Everything in the purchase suits, a very necessary product.

I got such a C2 stepping processor (I took BOX because the warranty is longer). Those who here complain that it is impossible to use a boxed cooler - I'm sorry, they don't grow their hands from there. At first I used it with a box - the noise was almost inaudible, the temperature was also normal. But later I bought a bigger cooler (for overclocking). Now I overclocked it to 3.6 GHz (the voltage had to be raised to 1.41 V) - in idle the temperature is 34-35 degrees, and under load (compile…

Pros
  • Quick Not heated Price Good overclocking capability
Cons
  • They are not.
