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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

Excellent gaming computer for a very reasonable price. Those who enjoy "overclocking" now have something to keep them occupied in their spare time. I set the Noctua NH-C12P SE14 cooler to this %, and I immediately felt relieved. At 1200 rpm, the temperature is 38–39 degrees while the engine is idling, but it rises to 54–61 degrees when heavy loads are applied. I didn't bother overclocking my computer since it's not necessary, but also because doing so isn't that interesting. If you are a fan of AMD platforms, then you don't need to advise; AMD fans will like it regardless of whether or not you advise them. On the other hand, if you are not a fan of AMD platforms and you don't care who the processor manufacturer is, then you can look for competitors among Intel without fear. And as a general rule, six-core processors are already humming on the market, so the decision is entirely up to you.

Pros
  • Excellent performance at a reasonable price, 4 cores, a free multiplier, compatibility with AM3 and AM2+, DDR2 and DDR3 memory, and a host of other features. A decently efficient computer processor overall.
Cons
  • Stone is extremely hot, yet this is not a significant drawback to the regular cooling process. Cooler: The packaged cooler needs to be discarded right away or given to someone who owns a computer with a processor that is less powerful than an Athlon II x4 620 running at 2.60 GHz. It is simply impossible to put up with this cooler's roar; it appears to be on the verge of rupturing into pieces. This cooler is very loud. It is unable to complete the work that has been given to it, and when it is not in use, it can reach temperatures of 48 to 57 degrees Celsius, even though the cooler itself can rotate at speeds of 5200 to 6800 revolutions per minute. 0 o And what occurs when the load has been applied? I did not have the courage to load the percentage with a boxed cooler, so I went out and bought another CO right away.
