With this great processor,AMD continues to be the best value for money brand. It's got six cores and the BE version has an unlocked multiplier.But I'd like to tell you that if you can afford it,go for a Intel Core i5 2400. It's got 4 cores(This one has 2 more),it's locked and it's motherboard probably costs more.Then why do i recommend it? No,not because i'm a intel fanboy but because the core i5 performs much better. The Intel processor has much better architecture,lower power consumption an...

First and foremost, hats off to Flipkart for their delivery, packaging and the timing both just splendid... Now to the product, simply put it, Its a true 6-core power packed performing monster... If you're thinking bout any cons for this one, you won't be able to find any. Its performance is way better than any Intel i5 out there, almost as close as Intel i7, just at 1/3rd of the price... I'm enjoying every minute and penny spend on this processor, if only AMD advertises themselves more, they...

I bought it last week from flipkart alongwith some other computer peripherals.
I hooked this processor with,
Corsair XMS3 DDR3 4 GB and ASUS M5A88-M Motherboard
Setup ran fine. The power hungry processor(rated 125W) was eating 141Watts without any overclocking. And I had to disable few cores to lower down power consumption.
Rating: 5star, got 7.4 out of 7.9 in WEI
Negatives: None(a bit power hungry)

After a lot of research I came up with this processor. I'm disappointed with it's heatsink, which doesn't cool the processor effectively. When playing battlefield 3 or batman AC temperatures reach upto 65degree's C. Talking about the performance it rockss. Reached 3480Mhz when overclocked with OC tuner.
