At the beginning of this year, AMD introduced their Phenom II X4 platform. Although at the launch they had only released two processors under this platform, but over the next several months AMD had achieved many milestones in the development of their ...
What does this mean for you? Let's say that you have an AMD Phenom or Athlon processors with DDR2 memory and want to upgrade your computer, but you can't afford the entire computer now. Well you can purchase one of these new AMD Phenom II processors ...
Today I will be looking at my first triple core processor, the AMD Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition. It has been around about six months now, and the price has dropped a fair amount, making this CPU a definite consideration for an economy rig. With ...
AM3 gives capability of using DDR3 memory ; Performance not far behind the much more expensive X4 940 ; Easily attained a 25% overclock ; Only $119
None really
Of course the GTX 260 coupled with the i7 blew away the Phenom II X3 720 in every gaming test. The X3 720 showed a distinct bottleneck holding back the GTX 260 from its full FPS potential. But again, keep in mind that the i7 system easily costs twice ...

Extremely fast can be OC'd easily ;
You might need the buy a different CPU Fan ;
Overclocks easily and gets to 3.7 with out much effort. ASUS M4A79XTD EVO AM3 790X ATX AMD Motherboard AMD Phenom II X4 955 SAPPHIRE 100283L Radeon HD 5770 2x G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 Coolmaster haf 922
Blazing fast quad core for under $180. Runs cool at 27C idle. The stock heat sink is much better than I though it would be no need to buy that zalman I had planed on getting. Runs all games that I have tried perfectly ;
Not a con but the 95w version is on the horizon ;
200 dollar price point makes this even more of a hot pick, I bought mine for 250
I had a lot of fun tinkering with this cpu as it is my first build, stock 3.4 Quad core, I have this OC'ed to 3.7 without messing with voltages or anything, just the multi ;
the stock fan is kinda dreadful, Its kinda loud after room temps rise, and after tat point its louder than anything in my apartment, but for a small fan it gets the job done, although I switched to the Corsair H50 and dropped my temps nearly 25 degrees C...
