Great product at an excellent price
This is my first AMD processor and I must say that I'm very happy with the product. I just completed my first build (in Afghanistan) and I must say that this processor is easy to install and is extremely fast. I even overclocked it right out of the box after a 20 minute internet tutorial. I took everything back down to factory defaults because I just don't need it overclocked - I just wanted to see if I could do it. I like everything about this processor with 1 exception: the CPU cooling fan is a bit loud. When the CPU starts to warm up, that fan really gets going and is pretty loud. Other than that, no complaints at all!
