Bought this, threw it in a msi 785gm-e65, with 4gb of corsair xms3 ddr3 with win7 ultimate, had no problems at all. actually used the oc switch on the board and oc'd it to 3.5GHz with the stock heatsink and fan! probably can go more, just haven't tried yet. Great buy.
Well worth the price.

I have had this CPU running for a couple months now. I have run video rendering (Adobe Premiere Pro), Hi def 1080p movie playback, And some memory and CPU hogging games like Rollercoaster Tycoon 3, and this CPU hasn't had any problems with them at all. I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate and have had no issues there either.
The reason I bought this particular CPU was it was the fastest one which was compatible with my mainboard.
I can't think of any cons for this CPU. I have always had a good experience with AMD and Intel both so I can't say one is better than the other.
Excellent CPU

this single quad-core 3.2GHz with an appropriate motherboard matches the performance of a dual 4-core 2.3 GHz that's 8 cores p system i have at work on some tough parallel numerical code. at a fifth the total system price. rockin.
Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 run smoothly!

I know nothing of gaming but my world is good when I get a stable mobo and CPU combination to run these two Server products. Gigabyte boards install and run my stuff without giving me any driver grief. The quad cores rock! 25 percent cheaper than Intel and I've never seen such fast large-query execution and sorting. Never had a BSOD, not so much as a hiccup.
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!
