AMD Black Edition AMD Phenom II X4 955 / 3.2 GHz processor

AMD's Phenom II 3Ghz Beast!

Advantages: Highly overclockable, will eat, chew and spit out anything! PRICE!!!!
Disadvantages: its milli seconds slower than the I7! so no disadvantages at all!!!

On for my 7th review!! I bought this remarkable peice of kit approximately 3 months ago, and i have to say it certainly does NOT disappoint! With masses and masses of power it will spit out anything with grace and style and is the equivelant to using a nuclear device to knock off a door! full on over kill but done with pure style and less mushrooming and carnage! so the basic standard is 3Ghz x4 when it comes out of the box... ok, so for many times as much you can have Pentiums I7 with more oomph and quicker! but the AMD comes into its own when you decide to overclock the already beastly device! i have read in bench tests it has peaked at 5Ghz! but definitely not recommended! i think 3.5-4Ghz is a safe bet, for standard cooling and pre-set voltages..... but that is still a whopping 14Ghz of combined power! BEASTLY is an understatement ...

Review of AMD Black Edition AMD Phenom II X4 940 / 3 GHz processor

Inexpensive High-End performance Processor Phenom II X4 940

Advantages: Low Price, High Performance, High overlock capability
Disadvantages: None

One month ago I decided to bought this AMD Black Edition AMD Phenom II X4 940 processor to upgrade my old one. I choose it because I need more powerful performance to operate my favorite games and some design graphics activity which need high end peripherals requirement to run smooth. I combined this processor with my existing peripheral such TA790GX motherboard, 8Gb Ram and 512Mb DDR3 GeForce 9600GT PCI-X Graphic card. Since the first time I booting up using this Phenom II X4 940, I found my computer run absolutely faster when loading my Windows, more than 2 times using my old processor. When I try to run my favorite games PES2009 and NFS Carbon, I can run both games so smooth at highest detail setting. I have also overlock it up to 3,4Ghz and run for a day and I found still stable performance and just a little heat, but I think it is ...

Review of AMD Black Edition AMD Phenom II X4 940 / 3 GHz processor

AMD Phenom x4 9500 reviewed

Advantages: Price, multitasking, AM2 and AM2+ compatibility, 65 nm energy save technology.
Disadvantages: When overclocked the temperatures are high but stable.

for a sec. so it?s number one choice for busy work environment. The other thing about this processor is even when it?s powerful you can still overclock it, and it overclocks really well. My Phenom overclocked from 2.2 gigahertz to 2.5 gigahertz without bigger problems, this makes him even more powerful but the overclocked processors consume more energy so I prefer to keep it on his standard speed, so I will save some money on bills like I?ve wrote before. Game experience with this processor was a big surprise for me, my friends have told me that it?s not going to be a big difference if I?ll have 4 cores, but they were wrong, I have played Crisis on maximum details, and the processor was doing its job, in Unreal Tournament 3 it was the same, and still you can use your music player software and it won?t change a thing thanks to AMD multitasking ...
