AMD
Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Black Edition Processor ADO5000DSWOF The top frequency AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 processor takes performance to the next
level for Enthusiasts. AMD is pushing the 65nm process technology to new limits.
Work or play with multiple programs without any stalling or waiting. Dual-core
technology is like having two processors, and two working together is better
and faster than one working alone.
Enormous
Overclocking Potential. "The 5000+ Black Edition is the ideal choice for users who wish to upgrade
their existing AM2 systems. Thanks to its low power dissipation even when
overclocked, buying a new cooling solution is unnecessary. Furthermore,
the low heat generation also means the system will not become much noisier
as a result of your overclocking experiments." - Bert Töpelt; tomshardware.com,

Note: This Processor is sold without
a Heatsink or Fan.
FREE Call of Juarez: An Epic Western Adventure
Call of Juarez is a First Person Shooter for PC, inspired from the greatest
movies of the Western genre. It is the first 'serious' and the most realistic
adaptation of the genre. Developed by Techland Studio, the game draws on the
major themes of the American Wild West through confrontation between the two
principal emblematic characters. While the game focuses on a high level of realism
with its incredible graphics, environments and overall look, the gameplay has
not been neglected, and players will enjoy a great gaming experience with duels
and shoot-outs, wild horseback antics and a great Western atmosphere.
8/10
"Bored with the FPS? Depressed that none of the recent Western games
have been Clint-Eastwood class? Call Call of Juarez. You'll be riding off
heroically into the sunset before you know it." - Kieron Gillen;

Features
Better Multi-Tasking Means Increased Office Productivity
Productivity in today’s workplace requires smooth, efficient and seamless
multi-tasking. AMD Athlon Dual-Core processors deliver TRUE multi-tasking,
allowing users to switch from one program to another without always pausing
for the computer to catch up and reducing annoying processing pauses.
Setting the Pace in Digital Media
Digital media software demands simultaneous processing of data streams, the
perfect use for the incredible multi-tasking power of AMD64 dual-core technology.
Dual-core technology is like having two processors working together, each
one taking care of different applications, so power-users can actually experience
greater performance when multiple applications are running. Digital media
enthusiasts can usher in the next generation of digital media software for
amazing high-definition video and photo editing, content creation, and audio
mixing.
Get more Power using less Power
Energy-efficient AMD processors with Cool‘n’Quiet™ technology enable smaller,
sleeker, more energy-efficient PC’s. In March 2005, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) awarded Cool‘n’Quiet technology special recognition
for the advancement of energy-efficient computer technologies.
AMD Athlon 64 Processor Architecture Performance
HyperTransport™ technology can increase overall system performance by reducing
I/O bottlenecks, increasing system bandwidth, and reducing system latency.
A fully integrated memory controller helps speed access to memory by giving
the processor a direct connection to the main memory. As a result, end users
can enjoy quicker application loading and extraordinary application performance.
Ready for the 64-bit future
Like all the processors in the AMD64 family, AMD Athlon Dual-Core processors
are designed for people who want to stay at the forefront of technology and
for those who depend on their PCs to keep them connected, informed, and entertained.
Systems based on AMD64 processors can deliver leading-edge performance for
demanding productivity and entertainment software today and in the future.
What You Should Know
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!
This product has a
Socket AM2 CPU Socket.
Your CPU is the heart of your computer. Keeping it cool improves
performance and prevents damage. Be sure you have a good CPU cooling
product!
