5.0 out of 5 stars Great multi-core processor at a wonderful price point
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2013

I bought this processor to replace a Sempron 140 I was using in a server. Both processors have the same clock speed, but this one has 5 more cores. I went from a physical server fulfilling multiple DNS/AD/File/Web server roles to one physical server running Hyper-V and segregating nearly all the roles into various VMs. Much more efficient and secure.

Using a good thermal paste and the stock heatsink/fan, I have had zero problems with heat management.

I ended up choosing this processor because it offered the most cores (my main concern for server virtualization) at the best price point. Of course, AMD doesn't make this particular Phenom anymore, so it may be less widely-available as time goes on and stocks deplete. But, if you can snag one at a good price, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Old and still a good processor
Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2013

Would purchase one again up to around $150, great processor, low TDP (for AMD, especially older), still cheaper than many Intel Core-i3 variations. Haven't noticed the purported "low single threaded performance" nor any difficulties with anything utilizing just the base 2.7ghz on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Stock fan and heatsink should probably be replaced by a $10 coupon, or maybe just a solid chunk of aluminum or something. In my win7 comp, had a ~250mm fan blowing into my case to keep this thing cool under load with stock heatsink and fan (quite definitely overkill, but not for my overclocked graphics card).

Building a sub-$600 computer with one of these and a bunch of random parts that happened to go on sale that can play Skyrim, CS:GO, and various other games on at least high settings while still letting me run a minecraft server and a TS3 server in the background without much trouble is pretty nice (once again, stock heatsink and fan would probably let it hit 70C pretty quick with too much running).

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to install and works great..
Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2012

This is totally amazing, its overkill for my system right now, but i plan on getting several years out of it, in conjunction with a few other upgrade. It had to be a 95W for my mother board.(for anyone interested its a N-Alvorix-RS880-uATX (Alvorix)).

I have never installed a PC part before and was a little nervous about doing it, i didn't want to fry my $116 by doing something wrong. But i have to say it was very easy. Pretty much take off the old fan remove the old processor and then install the new ones. I did hit a minor hitch in that the fan wires has a 4 pin but my motherboard only has a 3 pin socket.. I read that this would be fine but the fan would just run at full speed all the time.. (which it does, but i couldn't care less at this point). The fan is audible but not at any level that would bother me (my 360 made more noise than this).

I bought this as the first step towards my goal of playing bf3 on high settings.

Before i installed the processor BF3 would not work, my Processor was maxed and the game skipped around alot, after installing the processor i can play on low settings but it kind of lags when there is a lot of action, thee processor only gets to around 45%. My terrible GPU and PSU is the next upgrade.

I am not a serious gamer but i do enjoy the odd hour here and there and this was a great upgrade at a great price if you ask me.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Decent Upgrade for the Price
Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2013

Considering the price vs performance, it's OK. Appears to be giving a slight performance boost to most of the Adobe's CS6 programs. Namely Premier and Photoshop. Surprisingly, the majority of speed boost came from upgrading from AMD 5570 to 6670 GPU. It may be these days that the GPU has become the star player in Desktops used in mastering media.

If I had to do it over again, I'd have kept using the Athlon 2 Quad Core and went with a premium 7000 series Radeon card rather than spend over $200 to upgrade two separate components.

Oh well, it's runs cool, quiet, and it is slightly faster. WIll probably serve me well for the next couple of years.

5.0 out of 5 stars New life for my old PC
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2013
Verified Purchase
I resurrect old computers. I do it for fun. I do it to keep them out of landfills. I do it to provide cheap computers for low income people. And once in awhile I even upgrade my own old beast - a part here, a part there. So when my ASROCK motherboard died, I bought an ASUS because I could re-use all my other hardware. Later though, since the ASUS would let me put an AM3 processor in, I bought this for an upgrade. And what an upgrade it's been. This ASUS/AMD combination is still an old configuration, but it's so way, way better than what I had, that I'm lovin' it. Rock solid, just like you'd expect from AMD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Upgrade for Older AM3 PCs w/ 95 watt TDP Limitation
Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2018

I used this to upgrade our home server which was rocking an old Athlon II X2 dual core CPU. Between our Plex server and a Rust server, that dual core just wasn't keeping up. I tossed this baby in with a Wraith cooler and 16 GB of RAM and all of a sudden we can stream Plex to two televisions while hosting 2 separate Minecraft servers and a Rust server for my friends all at the same time with no issues whatsoever. To be as old as it is, this is a beast of a CPU and was a great buy for our family home server.

Product arrived earlier than the estimated delivery date and in good working order. Sample was manufactured in the 38th week of 2011. Easy to install, although the included fan/heatsink did leave me scratching my head for a few minutes. Under stress using OCCT, the processor does not exceed 62 degrees Celsius in a Lian Li PC-70 chassis. Cool n Quiet and Turbo Core both work without issue. Six cores ensure smooth multitasking. Fits in the 95W TDP envelope. Overall, I would by this CPU again. The per-core price is cheaper than AMD's own Sempron and Athlon II lines.

This cpu will stand up to practically anything you can throw at it. I use it primarily for video editing, the difference between this and my previous cpu (athlon II x2 220) is night and day. I also use it for light gaming which it also excels at. If your looking for a budget cpu with performance up the wazoo then this is the cpu you're looking for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bon CPU ,vendriad a revoir
Reviewed in France on October 16, 2013

Le CPU est vraiment pas mal ,même si c'est de l'ancienne génération ,il est quand meme très puissant
Les seuls reproches a lui faire :
- Les 2,7Ghz se font ressentir lors des jeux en mono-tâches par exemple ,c'est des fois pas suffissant (heursement la plupart des jeux exploitent au moins 4 de ses coeurs)
- Le mode Turbo ne semble pas fonctionner ,malgés son paramétrage via l'AMD OverDrive, les 6 coeurs etaient utilisés a 2,7Ghz au lieu de 4 a 3,2Ghz comme promis. Un petit détail mais qui peut influer les performances des jeux n'exploitant pas les CPU a 6core.
- Le vendriad d'origine est une horreur ,du moins le modéle que j'ai eu ,il devais y avoir un probléme avec les roulements vu qu'il fesait un bruit d’hélicoptère a faible vitesse, je l'ai remplacé par celui de mon ancien AMD Athlon II X2 250 (qui est exactement le même)
Voilà ,sinon ,parfait produit ,idéal pour du montage vidéo HD et du jeu vidéo (couplé avec une bonne carte graphique évidemment ^^)

5.0 out of 5 stars Muy buen procesador
Reviewed in Spain on July 21, 2013

Muy buen procesador, cumple con las expectativas. Tiene una frecuencia un poco baja (2.7 Ghz) pero gracias al Turbo, 3 de los 6 núcleos puede alcanzar los 3.2Ghz en aquellas ocasiones donde no se requieran más de 3 procesos intensivos de ejecución. Es muy fresco con un disipador añadido de 20 euros (el Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro v2 que también venden en Amazon), ya que en pleno verano no pasa de los 42 grados (en reposo) cuando sube la temperatura al máximo (cerca de 40 grados donde vivo) a las 3 de la tarde. A plena carga (con un render que hace trabajar a los 6 núcleos al máximo) no lo he visto pasar nunca de los 52 grados, así que en invierno seguramente llegará a los 42-45 a plena carga y unos 30 en reposo. La pasta térmica también la compré en Amazon, me costó menos de 2 euros y va perfectamente, no veo necesidad de comprar una más cara.

En general un procesador muy recomendado, sobretodo para render, pues vengo de un Athlon II x2, y los 4 núcleos extra han reducido los tiempos de render casi a una tercera parte.

Lo recomiendo encarecidamente, y creo que me va a durar bastante años, por lo menos hasta que AMD no saque la serie Excavator, porque la relación calidad-precio de Intel no la recomiendo en absoluto.

This came at a very good price and fast delivery, there are quite a few motherboards this cpu will fit, it's is easy to fit and comes with it's own heat sink so no need to purchase separately. I had an old AMD 64 x2 6400+ black box cpu which this one replaced and difference this made very fast chip well worth the upgrade.
