Review on AMD Phenom II X4 940 💻 Black Edition 3.0GHz AM2+ Processor - Retail by Hemant Hemant ᠌

At the moment, my processor temperature is as follows: 37-39 in idle, 49-50 in AIDA 64 load, cooler speed (boxed) 1700-2300. Immediately after installing the operating system (if you installed it on a new one), I advise you to go into the BIOS and lower the voltage on the processor to 1.2-1.27v (you will have to select the minimum value individually), usually the BIOS overestimates the voltage, in my case it was 1.42v, Also, a case with side fans will not interfere. I have an HD 4870 video card with this processor with power consumption in the load over 170 watts, in the case one 120mm fan blows on the side of the video card, chipset. as a result, the system, even under load, must be listened to to hear. I tried automatic overclocking for 3.9 GHz, the cooler kept the temperature at 60-61, but howled loudly, it was at 30 degrees in the room then. It's hard to say in terms of performance, but in comparison with the i3-2100 at work, the hair dryer 965 will be more powerful. At home, nothing but tests could load above 70% all the cores. I think it should be enough for a couple of years, and if something happens, you can overclock it normally. I advise you to buy while it is on sale, in terms of price-performance ratio, it probably has no equal.
