Bought this processor used, at least five years ago and it still works without fail. Anything that gets thrown at it, it can handle. Never regret making it my go to computing source. It plays all new games perfectly. This was a first AMD purchase for me and couldn't be more pleased. Rock solid, fast enough and the ability to do whatever I want has sold me on this. Yes there are more powerful, faster units available, but my eye asks me, why go there.
You really cannot go wrong with this overclocking master beast. I just love this powerhouse that's always there and works. Overclocked to 3.8 and it handled it with zero issues. Just very impressed with this product.
It runs in a ASUS Crosshair Formula IV mobo with 16gb of Corsair memory, Cooler Master 212 EVO cooler, AMD Sapphire R370 video card, ASUS Xonar Essence ST sound card (AMAZING), and a Thermaltake Toughpower Grand 1200W psu.
This CPU will not disappoint. Its a sure thing.

Four Powerful Processing Cores
With the Phenom II X4 series, AMD engineers have combined four cores into a single processor, giving you enough processing muscle for even the most highly threaded applications. Each core is equipped with 512K L2 cache, and all four cores share 6MB L3 smart cache between them. AMD has also included an ultra-wide, 4000MT/s bandwidth--enough to support all four cores effectively.
For users, this means that you'll be able to run all the latest software without the slowdown you'd experience with an inferior processor. Your computer will be able to handle multiple programs at once, and high-definition media players and video editors will run smoothly and efficiently. You'll also be able to enjoy next-gen games without any frame-rate hiccups.
Unlocked Multiplier for Powerful Overclocking
If you're an enthusiast looking to push the limits of PC performance, the Phenom II X4 965 makes it easier than ever to overclock your system. The unlocked multiplier allows you to manually increase the chip's frequency far beyond its stock values. You can achieve the best results by combining your processor with a reliable motherboard, high-performance SDRAM, and an effective cooling system. With the right combination, you'll be able to overclock your chip to unprecedented speeds.
Cutting-Edge Technologies for Faster Processing
The Phenom II X4 also makes use of several other performance-boosting technologies, including:
- HyperTransport Bandwidth: Speeds up communication between the processor and memory, improving overall system performance.
- Integrated Memory Controller: Actively scales bandwidth uses to match your computing needs, dramatically reducing slowdown.
- 128-bit Floating-Point Unit (FPU): Allows processor to execute floating-point calculations with extreme speed.
Gaming without Slowdown
PC gaming continues to improve at a breakneck rate, with graphics, physics, and AI growing more realistic each year. But you'll need more than just a good graphics card to keep up with the latest games. For certain games that are heavily threaded, a slow CPU can quickly become a bottleneck for performance and can ruin your gaming experience.
Fortunately, the Phenom II X4 series has been specifically designed to handle CPU-intensive games. With its multiple cores, the processor can manage thousands of high-speed gaming calculations at once. The result is a smooth, immersive gaming experience, free of any stuttering or latency.
The Ultimate in Energy Efficiency and Cooling
AMD products are known for their stellar energy efficiency and the Phenom II X4 965 is no exception. The processor features AMD's proprietary PowerNow and CoolCare technology, which allow the processor to smartly regulate its own energy consumption. Having an energy-efficient computer doesn't just help keep costs down; it also generates less heat and helps your computer to run more quietly. It will even prolong your processor's life cycle, so you can enjoy it for years without having to worry about degradation.
The AMD Phenom II X4 965 Quad-Core Processor is backed by a three-year warranty.
