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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

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

I came home in the evening after a hard day's work. I looked at my laptop with AMD A4 5000 and Core 2 Duo E 6750 under the table and felt sad somehow. I broke the piggy bank and made the configuration: 1. AMD Phenom 925 95 watts 1500 2. Asus M2a74am se 1500 3. DDR 2 800 4Gb + 4Gb 1300 4. GeForce GTS 450 1Gb Gddr5 1500 5. Powerman 350 watts with additional power for the video card - I got it for free. The result is 5800, and this mess works =) And I bought a mini tower at a discount for 350 in a technopoint. Already passed Fallach 4 Excellent assembly for games up to 2022 and watching movies. I understand that all the iron has long been outdated and rotten, for 2022 then. But I am writing a review from this computer and almost enjoy life =) It's too late to buy this, I do not advise. And whoever has such a fruit, rejoice - it is still fluttering.

Pros
  • For 2022, unexpectedly, it even has pluses! 1. Price. The Chinese have about 1500. On ebay you can try to find for 2022 2. The 95 watt option is not that hot. The boxed cooler from AMD does a good job. What can not be said about the 125 watt version. 3. The memory controller, both ddr 2 and ddr 3, is friendly with sockets and am2 + and am3. Ddr2 can be bought from the Chinese, a 4 + 4GB kit cost 1350 at the beginning of 18. But this memory with Intel only works on some Nfors Intel chipsets, which is a minus.
Cons
  • 1. insanely outdated for games for 2022 2. The ddr3 controller does not allow good overclocking of RAM

An excellent choice for a gaming PC. With the Titan TTC-NK35TZ cooler, the idle temperature is 33-35, while the load is 50-55.

I'm happy with a successful purchase. In 2022 I'll plug the 925 into a new mother with ddr3, PCI-E 3.0, USB 3.0

With its pros. chases up to 3.2 without problems, with Cooler Master GeminII (RR-CCH-ANU2-GP) temperature max 42deg. in any tests, at room temperature 24 deg. Its cons: not full cache (kills 1% of production), overclocking above 3.2 requires experience in this matter.

It is better to wait for the budget version of the processor using this technology.

Different pros: Excellent combination of price and quality, very powerful! Cons: There is only one, this is a standard cooler, it buzzes like a turbine, and the percentage is heated up to 65 .

I took it to replace my Atlon X3 425. I immediately put it on and drove it to Tets W7, showed 7.3 points against 7 on the athlone! With modern PSUs and motherboards, I do not consider the energy consumption of 125 watts to be a disadvantage.

He gave a standard cooler to a friend, and installed it himself, Cooler Master V6Gt at idle 29 degrees under a maximum load of 51!

I use it as a desktop PC, I gamble a little, and work with graphics (Adobe). In principle, everything suits me, I have been using AMD for as long as I live and have not seen any problems with it. Both old and new.

Its pros: It is strange that it is not for sale if it is.) Cold temp 40-42 stands cooler V8 at idle and up to 55 under load. Pulls all games even without 90%.) Cons: Not yet. So no shortcomings have been identified.

Pros: Price \ features. It's not bad to race in the air. Currently suitable for everything. With its cons. Heat dissipation(Like a cooler)
