"Killer CPU from AMD"
Pros: FAST FAST FAST
Cons: NOT cheap, gets a little toasty in a mATX case!
Summary: Beastly CPU and a MASSIVE perfomance advantage over a x2 4200 @2.6GHz. I've mine running on a Biostar TF7025-M2 @3.0GHz with a Zalman CNPS 8700 LED heatsink. ~40 Deg at desktop with <1,000 rpm and hovers near 62 Deg' still silent at <1,500rpm in a LANbox Lite case with a HD 3870 putting out monster levels of heat!
That twonk that gave it a poor rating has no clue on how to clean and mount a CPU heatsink by the sound of it. Get youself some paint restorer to polish the CPU and heatsink with, then clean off with strong alcohol then apply a grain of rice sized blob of AS5 and throw the heatsink on, twist side to side then clamp her up and Bob's yr father's brother Fanny's his sister...
