Great change from an 5000+ processor. It runs very cool 30-40 degrees. Everything runs faster, boot times,shutdown times and games run with amazing with this processor. For example with my old cpu Team Fortress 2 ran at 20-50, dipping down to under 20 when there where a lot of people in the screen now I get 50+ fps all the time no matter what happens on-screen

Oh why can't Intel provide a decent stock heat sink with their processors like the one that comes with this CPU?
Anyways, I got this as a backup to my main Intel 9550 quad core and to my suprise it can actually keep up with the Intel quad core for most stuff and performs way better than expected considering that it cost me significantly less than my Intel quad core.
Installation is a pleasure compared to Intel since you just snap it in and no pushpins you have to force through motherboard and so AMD makes it pretty idiot proof and did I mention the heat sink and fan look pretty cool for stock?
Not like this CPU needs a heavy duty fan or anything since it runs cooler than my previous AMD cpu's and they weren't even quad core!

I like this processor, fast, runs a litle hot, but all in all it's a good CPU. Only problem is, it is already out of production. AM3's replaced the AM2/AM2+. Hard to find a motherboard that supports this processor. Hard to get up with changing technology these days.
