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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A wonderful product, it's nice to use.

Replaced an old Athlon 64 x 2 Brisbane on a Gigabyte GA-MA770-UD3 board. I read the AMD website for compatibility with coolers. I chose the cheaper Cooler Master CK9-9HDSA-PL. I drove for a month under load, which barely pulled the Athlon 64 x 2 Brisbane and noticed that the cooler runs at full speed on Phenome. Then I installed Battlefield 3 and then problems started. The cooler stopped coping even though the cores worked at 50-70%. -02022V. Now everything works fine. The cooler does not roar, the system is stable. In general, a good option to upgrade the processor.

Pros
  • Cheap, fast.
Cons
  • Gets hot
