Solid performance a power house, Great for gaming, I have it liquid cooled at 42 C and it is stable, and meets all my needs and more. I have had no trouble with it at all. 5 out of 5 stars here

It's expensive and very few games can currently utilize multiple cores but the OS at least tries to. Running one graphics intensive game, the processing shifted over to using 3 cores rather unevenly but there was no lag. Where I saw the greatest improvement was when I changed over from XP Pro to Vista that frequently pops in other programs in the background and it ran smoothly with all four cores frequently active. My AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+ would lag, forcing me to reduce the framerate using the same video, drives and a good Mobo. Reading some other reviews, I find it odd to see people rate something that they don't own.

Blew me away. I use this for music recording. Started with clustered machines. Not enough power, and to much noise. Went dual core. Better on the noise not enough power. Quad-core, liquid cool. Ultra quiet. Operates at lowest latency of 2ms while recording 16 tracks at once!!!! incredible. Hands down the slickest chip on the market. Can't wait to see the Octo-core!

Theese people are novices. I have owned this processor since the day it was released. I have had it overclocked from the very first day to 2.93GHz @ 1.3volts. This processor is simply the best processor currently on the market PERIOD. Games rock and NO dual cores even come close to its performance on Vista. I know, I own several. It runs very cool and rock solid on Vista64. The only drawback is the price. I wanted the best, I got it, and I'm glad I did. If you have the money, buy it, you wont be disappointed!

I got this processor quite a while ago and I think it's fantastic, it's getting higher in price though which is confusing. But I do want to say one thing and this got me going when I heard Josh's review. A lot of what he is saying is true but the thing is that this processor is more for a digital artist, video editor, ETC. Many of those programs are using Quad cores very well. I have to agree though to WAIT FOR THE NEWER PROCESSORS! Intel and soon other companies made some advances and processors should be better. They bettered the electric leakeage which also means that the Heat problem has lessoned. Probably within a year they will be selling better and faster processors. But if you need some horsepower now and it's for multimedia work, this is a great Processor and so far It has lasted me a good while. It makes some serious cuts in rendering time with Lightwave 3D which is Awsome.
Heat Sinks - Many Shapes & Sizes!
A heat sink (or heatsink) is an object that absorbs and dissipates heat from
another object using thermal contact (either direct or radiant). Heat sinks
are used in a wide range of applications wherever efficient heat dissipation
is required; including for CPUs, Memory, Video Cards, and more.
Heat Sink Shapes Change!
Many products come with a Heat Sink, and some with a combination Heat Sink
and Fan. Keep in mind though, that manufacturers are constantly
improving the design of their cooling components, thus the shape and design
of the heat sink or heat sink & fan can change on any product at any time.
PLEASE NOTE:
Cooling Components Can Change At Any Time, And Do Not
Affect The Performance Or Specifications Of The Product.
How Do Heat Sinks Work?
Heat sinks function by transferring high temperature thermal energy (heat)
from one object (such as a CPU chip) to a second object (such as the Heat
Sink), which has a lower temperature, with a much greater heat capacity.
This rapid transfer of heat quickly balances the temperature of both
devices, lowering the temperature of the first. This is what makes a
heat sink a cooling device. Since room temperature is usually cooler than
the hot device, the Heat Sink helps cool the device, lowering its temp to
closer to room temperature.
The most common design of a heat sink is a metal device with many fins or
vanes. The high thermal conductivity of the metal combined with the large
surface area of the fins does the work to rapidly transfer heat to the
surrounding, cooler, air. This cools the heat sink and whatever it is in
contact with. Some Heat Sinks use the metal alone for cooling, some
use fluids (just like you car radiator) and a thermal interface material
(such as thermal gel) to ensure maximum heat transfer to the heat sink.
Adding a fan dramatically improves air flow, and improves the heat transfer
even more.
Remember The
Thermal Paste!
Remember that when you are adding a Heat Sink, you MUST USE
thermally conductive Gel or Paste, to form a good thermal contact between
the Heat Sink and the Device. Failing to use this will result in
reduced cooling, and possible failure and damage to the device!
