Review: Superb Fast Processor - What a superb processor. I was a little wary about buying this product after running a computer with a Phenom 9500 Quad Core processor before and it was a little finnicky. But this one is like lightning compared to the old one, that being a 2.2Ghz and this a 3.2Ghz, especially when I clocked it up to 3.8Ghz. Overall this is a great processor, easy to install and comes with heatsink. excellent price too!
Review: For those who aren't hardware savvy - If you are experienced with computer hardware then this review may seem pointless as I shall be basing it around the less enthusiastic end user. If you are looking for a processor to fit an AMD motherboard, the Phenom X4 955 Black Edition is perhaps the best performance for value you can buy at the time of writing this review. AMD do provide 6 core Phenom processors but unless you use very high demanding video editing software I feel it will be waste. This processor is designed for a gaming enthusiast since games developers are just starting to make games that use quad core processors. But why not buy a quad core phenom with a higher clock speed (xxGHz)? Well, the 'Black Edition' AMD processors come with an 'unlocked multiplier'. This in simple terms means you can make the clock speed just as much as it's bigger brothers, while keeping the price down. And for the less informed, AMD have made it easier by providing AMD Overdrive for download on their website. This program has both simple and advanced controls to supplement everyone. A little research will show that the 955 BE will work on AM2+, AM3 and AM3+ motherboards (there are limitations which will be explained on your motherboard website). This means that even if you decide to upgrade your motherboard (I went from AGP to PCI-E) you can still keep the same processor, saving money. Typing the processor name into google will provide a plethora of top reviews and comments from all over the world about this diverse and solid processor. The stock cooling is efficient, I have found it possible to overclock to 3.6-3.8 GHz without changing the voltage (I don't like changing the voltage, but it can yield amazing results). I have friends that have the 955 BE at 4GHz+. Incase anyone was wandering, the 955 BE gives a 7.3 processor windows performance index rating out of a maximum 7.9 at stock clock speeds and voltage (although I feel this requires some sort of update for the next generation). I urge anyone looking for an AMD processor to buy this, as it represents real value for money without skimping on performance. EDIT: I have my Phenom II x4 955 BE running at 4GHz now. The voltage is set to 'auto' (which isn't ideal for overclocking as the motherboard can provide unnecessarily high voltage which leads to more heat). It seems stable after running various 'stress test' applications, but I feel the stock cooler does not provide adequate cooling for overclocking of this sort. The fan is noisy when it is anywhere near 70%+ spin. I have noticed that after several weeks the heatsink and fan seem very clean compared to others after the same timescale (The intake on the side of my case has no filter and the black colour is coated in dust. Very amateur of me, but it is on my list).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great buy
*by L***E on 15 March 2011*

Bought this processor to go in a new build with an asus m4a88tdv evo usb 3 motherboard, installed no problem, im running windows vista and it gets maximum scores on the windows experience ratings, i have ran benchmark tests and the processor doesnt go above 55c on full load with the stock cooler, the heatsink does look cheap but works a treat if you are not overclocking, if you are going to overclock this chip i would buy an aftermarket cooler, i have had mine up to 3.7ghz. i can now play total war on high settings with no lag, for the price you cant beat this processor, the intel equivilent wil cost you three times as much, runs games like fm2011 total war, grid, fifa 11, you name it this processor will run it, keep in mind this in an unclocked cpu and mainly used for gaming and overclocking, i would reccomend this processor to anyone, liam asus m4a88t-dv evo/usb3 amd 955 black edition 3.2ghz 4gb corsair ddr3 1600mhz (oc) 500gb seagate sata drive 650w CiT psu Sapphire HD5670 1gb DDR5
