OC'D 3.80Ghz

Reviewed By: YBR-GRIP on 8/8/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: I had to re-post i got this 545 non BE to 3.80ghz but i had to drop it to 3.70 because it was getting a little warm, but it was holding stable. 1.3V and 258FSBX15.0 Multiplier. Awesome i will be able to oc it more when i get a aftermarket cooler im still using stock and im going to buy DDR2 1066 running 1 800mhz and 1 667mhz which is probably bottlenecking me in making it go higher.

Cons: NONE

Other Thoughts: BUY Either this or the 550 BE

Wonderful processor

Reviewed By: on 2/7/2010

Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: I've owned AMDs for 8 years and have never been disappointed. The PHenom X II gives me everything I need to succeed. Works great with Windows 7 and can play Mass Effect 2. I did not overclock or open up the quad core, but you can.

Great Value!

Cons: Zero. No cons.

Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Able to unlock it to a quad-core with my TA790GXE. Runs nice and cool in both x2 and x4 configurations. Averaged around 29 Celsius idling and 34 Celsius under load with stock cooling. Great value.

Cons: Wasn't cheaper.

Other Thoughts: Buy this CPU! In both x2/x4 configurations, this thing is a beast.

Introduction

Highlights

	AMD64 Dual-core Technology AMD64 is designed to enable simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing with no degradation in performance. With Dual-Core technology, two complete processor cores on a single die run at the same frequency to deliver exceptional multi-tasking power, allowing users to surge through the most demanding processing loads, including advanced multitasking, critical business productivity, complicated visual design and modeling, serious gaming, and visually stunning digital media and entertainment.
	Integrated DDR2 and DDR3 DRAM Memory Controller The AMD Phenom II X2 Dual-Core processor is integrated with DDR2 and DDR3 DRAM memory controller capable of supporting registered and ECC DRAM. The integrated memory controller changes the way the processor accesses main memory, resulting in increased bandwidth, reduced memory latencies, and enhanced processor performance.
	HyperTransport 3.0 Technology HyperTransport Technology (HT or HTT) is a high-speed, low latency, point-to-point link designed to increase communication speeds between integrated circuits in computers, servers, embedded systems, and networking and telecommunications equipment. With HT 3.0 technology the AMD Phenom II X2 Dual-Core processor enjoys 4000MHz system bus speeds.
	AMD Cool'n'Quiet 3.0 Technology AMD's Cool'n'Quiet 3.0 technology is an enhanced solution available on AMD Phenom II X2 processor-based systems that can effectively lower power consumption and enable a quieter-running system while delivering performance-on-demand.
	AMD Virtualization Virtualization on desktop computers allows a single PC to act like multiple virtual machines. AMD Virtualization can enable client computers to seamlessly support multiple operating environments. And it also helps make it easier for PC enthusiasts to upgrade and maintain their PCs through emulation.
	AMD CoolCore Technology AMD CoolCore Technology reduces processor energy consumption by turning off unused parts of the processor. Power can be switched on or off within a single clock cycle so that energy is saved without compromising performance.
