5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, fast, and powerful comes in three (X3)

There is not much difference between X3 and X4 except of the extra processor on X4 and couple of milliseconds difference. If you are a hardcore gamer or just want to shell out extra money than X4 is your choice.

But if you are like me, that wants to save money yet have a powerful fast processor to use Photoshop CS4, be moderate gamer or do some 3D modeling than this processor is the choice. If you also want to do some overclocking than this process just rocks. I am comfortably running the core speed at 3.2GHz with a aftermarket heat sink/cooling fan. You can push it even further than 3.8Ghz (that's what I heard from lot of folks)

An interesting fact is that triple-core offers more bang for the bucks that quad-core processors do - and since only AMD has triple-core units for sale, Intel is shut out of the game. There are very few games I know that uses the multi-thread capabilities of the multi-core processes, one been by Crysis and the other by Valve.

Pros: fast, powerful and lots of reasons
Con: None

Fact: Some games from XBOX 360 were based on triple core architecture.

Make sure you buy a motherboard that supports DDR3 and you will be set with the speed of the processor along with the memory speed for all your multitasking capabilities on your computer.

If you are lucky with the right motherboard than you should be able to unlock the 4th core on the processor. As you may know, X3 is same processor as the X4 except 4th core is turned off due to several reasons - defective, not working, etc. But if it works for you than you have got yourself a deal of having X3 for the price of X4.

All I can say is great buy for what you get. This cpu has a ridiculous amount of bang for the buck. Got mine and can't complain, I upgraded from a limp AMD athon X2 4400 to this monster. You won't regret it as it is a beast at it's stock 2.8Ghz clock. I haven't seen any slowdowns with this running Vista 64bit with 4gb of DDR3 ram.

This CPU makes you want to delve into overclocking with it having an unlocked multiplier. I'm really glad I chose this one, it does what it's supposed to do at an affordable price.

Two thumbs up!!!

bought this from christina's attic (seller) and what i have to say after about a month is there is a big difference between a used product and a damaged product i would have still bought it if they would have said it was damaged but fixable i also will say it had no missing pins but many were bent i spent 3 hours unbending pins i currently work for 10$ an hour so in my opinion my manual labor spent on this cpu is worth about the samre at 30$ so yes i was very disappointed with this purchase because i had to use this mangled cpu for my first build i kinda feel bad for my motherboard darn wish i had photos so i can show off how good i fixed that cpu will never buy from here again

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Bang for the Buck
Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2009

Got this a few weeks back and wish I had purchased 2. Installed on a Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD4P with the BIOS updated to F5. 4th core unlocked but could not OC pass 3.0Ghz. Changed back ECC to normal and OC'd to 3.6Ghz with small bump in Vcore votage to 1.42 so stable after 1 hr prime95. Games run faster with the higher clock speed vs the extra core so left it this way. Just noted that Amazon does not sell this directly anymore so the shipping cost from TigerD kills the value. Got this for $109 from Amazon and am kicking my self for not getting 2 since the shipping was free back then.

So I upgraded from a 6000+ @ 3.1 to this 720be. I've done a mild OC with it using the stock HSF for the 6000+. I've gotten the 720be to 3.3 with a multi of 16.5. Now it's not as big a jump as my last upgrade, PentiumD to the 6000+, which was like night and day. But defintaley a upgrade nontheless. Everything just runs better, smoother, faster. It's such a good deal, you just can't pass it up. Guys have gotten this thing up to like 3.7-3.8, crazy, I wish I could, but I don't think my board can hadle it. I'm going to get a better HSF and see where I end up.

Item arrived more quickly than I anticipated and there was a tube of heat sink paste in the package that was extra, and appreciated.
The processor was exactly as the seller described and using CPUID it read exactly as should for advertised MGz.

I am well satisfied with the produce and purchase.
