Great value in a new product, the Phenom II chips all seem to be great buys from what I read. I replaced my 5600+ dual core CPU (on an AM2+ MB after a BIOS update) with this gem and received a significant performance boost to the machines performance. Overclocked by just changing the multiplier to run at 3.2 GHz at default voltage. Passes all tests thrown at it. Did replace the HS/Fan with AC Freezer 64 Pro but it runs so cool I question if I needed to. Highly recommend buying this CPU if you have an older motherboard that will support this chip or in a new build with the newest chipsets that support it.
