Phenom II X4 965 Black AM3 3.4Ghz 512KB 45NM 125W 4000MHZ Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I decided to take my grad money to the local computer store!After getting suggestions from my fellow computer nerd friends I decided to, among other things, pick up this CPU(AMD Phenom II x4 965 Black Edition AM3 125w)NOT the 145w version.

Just Cause 2 was stable in high resolution settings when outputting to my 40" LCD HDTV in 1360x768.Crysis Warhead runs great on enthusiast(max details) with Anti-Aliasing turned OFF.I'm running the CPU overclocked at 3.85Ghz.Ran Prime95 for 4 hours and it never restarted or hiccuped.When I had it at 3.96 it was not happy and restarted a minute into the stress test.At [...] they got it stable at 3.86.You can go higher but you are taking risks even with a better cooler.I have a Cooler Master hyper 212 Plus.

It runs about 53 degrees at stress.My motherboard (Asus M4A79xtd EVO unlocked all 4 cores)

The CPU seems to handle everything I can throw at it.Video Encoding speeds are decent.A two hour DVD movie ripping to h.264 in 720p will take about 25 to 30 minutes.Sherlock Holmes is a 25gb Blu-Ray disc and it ripped that in roughly 4 hours Full HD movie files are hot.And the file was only 4gb.

My friend has an i7 and I am sure he can encode Blu-Ray faster but at what cost?His i7 core still runs for around $600 and I got this CPU for less than $200!!!
