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.

(USED) forget that this item is work perfect just pluged it in and it work in few seconds didnt had to install anything works great and is fast. i definatly will buy more stuff from this vendor.

Quick ship, excellent price, new item as described. Thanks for the great deal and service!!

AMD got this one right. If you have a compatible motherboard and are running an X2 or first generation Phenom this is a very worthwhile upgrade.The included fan/heatsink performs quite well under heavy loads. In real world use the Phenom II feels like a mainstream Intel Quad core, even running Vista.

I've had the Phenom II 920 for about 2 months and haven't had any problems whatsoever. I chose the Phenom II 920 over the 940 just to save a few bucks and because the clock difference was just .2 shy of 3gz. This processor overclocks well and I easily oc'd it to 3.5 with more head room to spare. I do have an after market heatsink which is a z600r that has two 120mms fan on it so heat isn't an issue for me. As for the stock cool n quiet it comes with I hear that it's not too shabby.

So far this CPU does everything I ask of it, I hardly get it about 34% usage and the AMD cool and quiet works well, it slows the CPU to 800mhz until I need more than it brings the cpu back to full speed, unless I choose High performance than it runs at full speed all of the time, either way it is quiet

Can some one explain to me why it takes three weeks after you pay to have item delivered when I am in the United States. I paid for this cpu on 06/08 and told by amazon they won't ship it until 06/15 and expect delivery 06/24. My client won't wait that long nor would I have enough time to assemble and burn in the very expensive foxconn destroyer mobo to determine it is ok. The seller of that board rquires it returned within 30 days or I lose allot of money. This isn't the only time this has happened using amazon..
The client system is a high end gamer sli setup using two Nividia video cards with 769 Megabyte of ddr3 memory and more. I am not getting stuck with a large monetary loss due to amazons bad shipping...
The cpu is great and recomend it to anyone who is looking nat either the 920 or the 940 cpu. for a difference in 200mhz I go with the 920; heck you can oc it to 3.0ghz if you want easy. The clients system also uses Liquid cooling to keep everything frosty. It is similar to mine and I run Crysis at UltrHigh full setting at 60fps..
