Ok, this CPU is best right now in the market, 3.2Ghz but only 2MB cache. The good thing is this can be compete with E6750 from Intel and best Dual Core right now in the market in my opinion. If you want this CPU to run in low temp. you going to need some kind special CPU cooler not stock heatsink because it run 10oC higher than other series like x2 4200+(at 31oC with special heatsink)

Competitive performance for a fair price. If you're planning on buying it consider the cost of the heatsink and fan you'll need.

this is a great processor as always from amd i bought when brand new when it was ten dollars cheaper but as always very competitive pricing just remember there is no heatsink with this thing works awsome though. great speed for gaming and watching video and stuff on dual display systmes.

great processor, fast and easy to install. Be advised you will need a top shelf heat sink unit (processor cooler) to cool within acceptable ranges. processor tends to run hot, should be around 42c at idle and + 10c at peak. cannot run past 63c according to amd.

Coupled this with a Thermaltake CL-P0371 heatsink and running very cool. The performance you get for this price is amazing and my MSI K9A2 Platinum couldn't be happier running this with 4GB Patriot Viper PC6400 RAM. Throw in an ASUS EAH 3870 and the Razer AC-1 Gamer sound card and you have a stable system. This is more than worth the investment that will last for quite some time.

For an overcloker, this is a decent processor,but it is not as good when compared to its brother, the 5000+ Black Edition. The 5000+ has more overclocking potential than this due to the 5000+ being at 2.6Ghz while this is 3.2Ghz. 5000+ gets more bang for the buck. Unless, of course, you have no interest in overclocking, then i suggest you buy the regular 6000 at 3.0Ghz since it comes with stock cooler.

this thing is the fastest proccessor I have ever used... Be sure to have a decent fan cooler and you will be alright

I enjoy this CPU now that I finally got the heat issues sorted out. And it wasn't cheap to do so. When I first got it I had it in an older Antec case with two 120mm fans and an Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro. Idled at 45C, under load ran at up to 65C. Popped for a new Coolermaster Stacker Evo 830 case, two extra fans and a Xigmatek 1283 heatsink/fan. After all that the temps came down to 36-40 idle and 49-52 load. Much better, but bear in mind this 125W chip will need a better than average case (ventilation wise) and hefty HSF to keep in the safe range.

What can I say! Fast, stable, and a pretty good price. This is the "Black Edition", sooo, it is eminently "overclockable", with the appropriate software. So far, have had it "overclocked" at 3.7 ghz, then "lost my nerve", but was still stable and running quite happily. However, please bear in mind that this model does NOT come with a "stock fan", and, if you are gonna "overclock" it, you are going to need to invest in a VERY good processor fan (or maybe even "water cooling") to help keep it cool and stable. Am currently using a Thermaltake V1, which is HUUGE, and looks kinda like an immense copper/blue led Butterfly, in conjunction with a pair of Antec TriCool 120mm Blue Led Case Fans, and everything is running wonderfully.
If you are not interested in 'overclocking", then go for the "standard edition" processor, which is far cheaper, and DOES come with a perfectly acceptable "stock' processor heatsink/fan unit.

Wonderfull proccesoor ... Im overclocking it up to 3.57Ghz with normal thermaltake big cooling ... with m2n32 WS pro and corsair 1066mhz diamonator 5-5-5-18-2T 2GB dual channels and 9600GT 512 + X-fi fatality :) running server 2003 SP2 X64

This is realy fast and cheap price ,,, faster than current phenom .. with less price ... hope amds aproove ATI graphics and proccessor to reach the new intel core 2 in cache (4mb and 8mb) and frequesncy (reach 3.2GHz) with 1800GHz bus ... wait for this phenom to released :)

any question will be solved here :)
