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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The price/quality ratio is great, I will buy again.

I took my Phenom II x4 965 Black Edition for a ridiculous price of 3k. You can overclock it well, but at the moment there is no need. He copes with his duties with a bang. To my surprise, GTA IV with the GT240 1Gb video card worked at the highest settings + video capture, albeit puffing, but giving out more or less comfortable 25 fps in the most difficult conditions (Rain + heavy traffic). Together with a powerful video card, "gluttonous" games with an unoptimized graphics engine (at the time of 2022) run at the highest settings (+ forced anti-aliasing and quality improvements through the video driver) without any problems. It also handles normal day-to-day tasks well.

Pros
  • 1. Price/Performance. 2. Does not overheat (although CO costs 95 watts for heat dissipation, good ventilation of the case may affect). 3. Toys with a good video card pull normally. 4. Good overclocking is possible (reserve for the future). 5. Practically not inferior to the new top AMDes. (and in some cases not much better).
Cons
  • 1. Morally (but not physically) obsolete. (Top 2022). 2. Used to be expensive. (but it is, a nitpick from the past).
