  5.0 out of 5 starsIntel isn't the ONLY chipmaker
  ByDaveon July 18, 2011
  I have been an enthusiast for a long time. I have used AMD before and enjoyed it. For gaming on a budget it really gets the job done, but Intel has really been kicking AMD in the face for a while. The sad reality is that Intel is simply ahead of AMD and has really pushed forward in that time period. I picked up this CPU because it worked in my motherboard and was the right price. I have been more than surprised with how well this thing actually works.
  I am very impressed with how well this CPU runs all of my games. I was hoping to build an expensive Intel system, but my wife and I decided we wanted to have a baby. She is now pregnant and I am now cutting back my gaming PC budget. Hah! Thankfully I picked a great chip that should keep me chugging on for a little while.
  One of the best things I can say that AMD has going for it is the fact that I can still use my DDR2 AND this nice new chip. My brother has the 965, which I recommended to him, and he loves it, too. With Bulldozer on the horizon, things may well be looking up for AMD.
  5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent Product, but Wait for the Price to go Down
  Byazizkon January 11, 2012
  As I've said, wait for the price to go down (I bought it in September 2011 for $115.00 from Amazon)but the price has increased since then (probably because the new AM3+ FX Bulldozer processors were a disappointment in most benchmarks so the older AM3 processors are in higher demand now)
  I've had this processor for about 4 months now and it works great. I had an old Phenom X4 9650 (2.3 GHz per core) and this processor is a major improvement over it. I paired it with XFX Radeon HD6750 and I am able to play all the games I am interested in (PS2 emulator games such as Final Fantasy X, 12, Star Ocean, etc. as well as PC games such as Civilization V at full speed at great quality). I do have an issue with Civilization V where if I play on a Large or Huge map there is considerable lag between turns (once you get to 200+ turns) , however I think this is more of an issue with my RAM which is quite slow (DDR2-800 PC2 6400). I also don't like the heat that it generates (55 C on idle and as high as 65C when under 100% CPU usage)but this can be taken care of if you use SpeedFan and manually increase the fan speed (although it's a bit noisy) or buying a new cooler (which I might do)
  Great Overclocking Potential (with AMD Overdrive)
  High Temperatures (55C idle, 65C full load, 60C at 50% CPU usage)
  High Price (wait for the price to go down, I bought it in September 2011 for $115.00 from Amazon)
  5.0 out of 5 starsIt works..!!
  ByDWon November 23, 2014
  Normally I don't buy used stuff...but I needed one to upgrade someone's PC and decided to take a chance..
  The part was packaged well, clean and shiny....
  I put this heat sink on it and idling temperature never got over 36C. I set the lowest range temperature alarm in the bios and the alarm never sounded in 4 days of normal computer use..

  Didn't attempt overclocking since the person that owns the machine isn't a gamer.....
  I ran the machine for 4 days after a clean OS install and noticed no glitches.. Looks good to me..!!
  5.0 out of 5 starsOne Smoking Processor!
  ByW. Sanderson December 9, 2011
  I just completed my 1st computer build which features the following items:
  Lite-On LightScribe 24X SATA DVD+/-RW Dual Layer Drive IHAS424-98 - Retail (Black)Western Digital Caviar Green 1 TB SATA II 32 MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Desktop Hard Drive Retail Kit - WDBAAY0010HNC-NRSN
  I have yet to attemp to overclock it but web pages never loaded so fast! I'm very pleased to say the least!
  5.0 out of 5 starsPerfect for a gaming PC!
  BySyrslyon May 14, 2011
  I bought this for my new PC, built from a variety of parts from different brands to save money. Shipping was free with Amazon Prime and everything arrived in perfect condition.
  This processor is insanely fast, does not overheat, and comes with a heatsink and fan with thermal paste already applied.
  The speed difference is as follows:
  Phenom X2 (2.0GHz) to Phenom II X4 (3.2Ghz): 20x speed increase, 2 degrees hotter at idle
  Core2Duo E6300 (1.83GHz) to Phenom II X4 (3.2GHz): 12x speed increase, 10 degrees hotter at idle
  AMD processors tend to run hotter than Intel processors, but that's OK considering they cost much less. Performance is not an issue with the Phenom II X4 955. Just make sure your motherboard supports the processor and not just the socket type. (I know several people who made such a mistake and had to buy another motherboard.) Oh, and make sure your power supply is at least 400W and has all the necessary cables for your board.
  5.0 out of 5 starsRuns great, out the box for the price.
  I got this processor about 3 days ago.. I just now got it up and running, (to no fault of the PSU) it's been awhile since I built any type of rig and needed to order a 12v molex extension.. But it's up and running, and runs great! Haven't had a chance to run anything heavy just yet, but I have faith that I built this rig right, and this processor was a great addition. Out the box it runs like a champ! I'll be back if I run into any problems....
