- Pros: for a sixty five dollar processor, this thing is a beast (when overclocked, that is). got it to 3.625 Ghz on my first attempt and is completely stable, idling at 26C. i'm satisfied until the tris and quads get a little cheaper
- Cons: the heatsink is the smallest i have ever seen for a CPU, didn't even consider using it
- Other Thoughts: if you spend money like a grandparent (as i do), this is a great buy at half the price of most other processors.
Great CPU
- Pros: Over clocked by .5 ghz without any increase in heat
I don't know why one of the reviews said hot mine hasn't run hotter than 35-45 C
- Cons: None
- Other Thoughts: Great little CPU
