Cons: none at all... well it used to run a little hot (before the new heat sink), but what AMD doesnt....
Other Thoughts: In a gaming comp with 4 Gb ram, 512 graphics, all the fun stuff. Runs everything, love this little processor. I have built around 10 comps all running AMD, never had one fail!
Speedy Proc
Pros: I can say this processor is quick espically coming from a 2800+ Barton core. From the time I press my power button my desktop loads under 15 seconds. It runs games smoothly as well. I can run Oblivion maxed out @ 1440X900 and it runs without a hitch. I plan to overclock it after I let it burn in. What I'm the most happy with is how cool it runs. @ idle 25C under load I have seen it no higher than 32C Most of the time it stays @ 30C. My case also has good air flow it runs 25C to 30C. This proc is a great buy.
Cons: none solid product from AMD
Other Thoughts: My system Abit AX78 4600+ X2 7600GT 1GB of Crucial 667 MHZ Ram. 160GB Seagate SATA II Newegg is the only place to by parts. No other supplier compairs.
Pros: Low on funds so I went for the price point, running an ECS A770M-A mobo and these two low cost items run great!
Cons: Not the fastest processor but still pretty fast for the $$$$.

Pros: Runs surprisingly cool. Noticeable performance boost over my 3800.
Cons: None...love it.
Other Thoughts: AMD or Intel I'm just glad they both exist. Competition has given us two excellent product lines.
Pros: great processor. runs very cool. easy to install chip and heatsink.
Cons: none so far
Pros: this cpu was an amazing upgrade from my Athlon 64 3800+ single core. The change in performance is considerable and very noticable
Cons: At first i thought there wasnt any thermal padte but then i saw that it was pre-attached to heatsink that was provided. If only i could give this a 10 out of 5
Other Thoughts: Great cpu for all who widh to have a great gaming and or media rig
Pros: fit right in no problemz intalling.vista popz up really fast!! i thought i was losing it for a sec..i'm glad i got this cpu before the price went up..good form amd
Cons: huh ...i'm sorry what did u say ..con spffff
Other Thoughts: can't wait to upgrade i'm sure i would be blown out my mind from the spreed. this was my first x2 build..but my girl has a x2 1.9 on her laptop and it flies...i needed a new studio computer so i went with this cpu. runz smooth and cool. haven't overclocked it yet but i can't wait to do so...really no need.... ...eh well..good job amd
Pros: cheap, dual core, easy installation, runs very cool (cooler than the system temp! ), way better than my old cruddy pentium 4
Cons: didn't come with thermal grease... not much of a con is it
Other Thoughts: Yay!

Throw another enemy on the barbie. The Athlon 64 X2 4800+ Brisbane makes it easy. With 2 2.5GHz cores each with their own 512KB cache, you have the power to do anything you want. HyperTransport technology increases system performance by giving each core a dedicated cache of memory and reducing I/O bottlenecks by increasing bandwidth and reducing latency.
Pros: that I bought this CPU. Low TDP, overclocks just great (2850MHz @ 1.35Volts). There is nothing you can do wrong with this CPU!
Cons: As with all other CPUs (AMD or Intel), stock fans are quite useless. With stock fan, temp at stock speed was 10 degrees higher - got an AC Freezer 64 Pro. Overclocked at 2.85GHz its at 45degrees under full load.
Pros: Runs good.Less than $100. Overclocks to 3.2ghz on air.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: Overclocked up to 3.2 stable. I run it 24/7 At 3.0 100% load 45*C temp.
Pros: Very affordable dual-core processor. Perfect for home/office user interested in running multiple applications.
Cons: None.
Pros: Cheap dual core cpu that runs cool! AMD has some nice utilities on their website, check them out.Heatsink easy to install, no more using screw drivers!
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: Stock HS Fan works just fine on it's own, no upgrading needed. 800 mhz memory will only run at 700 something mhz with this cpu.
Pros: Very nice CPU. Quick. Easy installation with no trouble at all.
Cons: None so far.
The Athlon 64 FX-62 runs two cores at a lively 2.8GHz with 1MB of L2 cache per core. Built with AMD64 architecture, it was designed to run today's 32-bit software and provide an easy migration to the ever increasing number of 64-bit applications. And since it has two cores, true multi-tasking is possible. So, when you run something in the background, it's truly in the background. With Cool'n'Quiet AMD proves that green isn't only in their logo. This technology steps down the core clock when full power isn necessary. This reduces the power needed for the processor and the system which can lower your energy costs. AMD Live! turns your system into the ultimate home entertainment PC. It makes it easy to consolidate and manage all of your music, video and photo files for easy viewing and playback. It also makes it easy to view movies in one room while sending music to another without skipping or stuttering.
Pros: my first FX! drastic performance jump over my old s939 a64 3000 venice. unlocked multi, so i can get myself into all kinds of trouble!
Cons: unlocked multi, so i can get myself into all kinds of trouble :) it's not a phenom . seems to be running too warm... mobo (crosshair) reports 42-45c every time i've checked, and that's stock with zalman thermal grease on a ZM cnps9500 am2 at over 2300 rpm... maybe it's time to reseat and try some A.S.5.
Other Thoughts: current pricing makes me want a stock-pile of these... especially since my current one seems to be running too warm at stock .
Pros: easy to OC, i have an ABIT AN-M2 mobo and i just changed the multiplier to 15.5x and the FSB to 203mhz and upped the voltage to 1.475v runs at a steady 3.14ghz ON AIR!!! used a zalman aluminum/copper hsf
Cons: mmmm i think all the cons will go on the mobo review
Other Thoughts: good proc, fast fast fast!!! USE ARCTIC SILVER setup: Abit AN-M2, AMD FX-62 (3.14 ghz) 2gb ddr2 g.skill ram, sata LITE-ON dvd drive, BFG Tech 8800 GTS OC (310mb)(614/740) 600w cooler master psu, 250gb seagate barracuda hd
Pros: Fast Processor. Notice a big difference between this and the 4600+ Windsor I had overclocked to 2.8.
Cons: None
Pros: I opted for an AMD FX-62 @2.8 gHz CPU instead of the FX-64 or the AMD X2 6000. I was afraid that heat may be a problem: The FX-64 as does the 6000, both at 3.0 gHz, dissipate 125 watts, The FX-62 dissipates 89 watts. The FX-64 gHz was not offered by Newegg at the purchase time. My deciding factor was in reading online reviews of the heat problems with the 125 watt units.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: In my opinion, Intel is doing unfair trade practices upon AMD. Intel is coercing hardware vendors to use 90% of Intel CPUs rather than the competitor (AMD) CPUs. In my opinion, AMD makes a better CPU and they have done quite a bit of innovation. Intel is using strong arm tactics to keep AMD in the background. AMD has an opened antitrust suit law suit against Intel. Google ""breakfree amd"" to find out more info and ongoing updates on the law suit.
Pros:

It works (or atleast the LED indicator tells me so) laptop battery

Cons:

Its rather large and bulky, takes up some valuable extra room in my computer bag! The swivel plug is hard to move in and out of position. thinkpad

Other Thoughts:

I would not buy this again. microsoft

Pros:

Stick it in your backpack n your ready to go. This is perfect if you are a college student for using at the library b/c most outlets don t have surge protection. Your 1K+ investment can be lost in an instant but with this on hand you ll save your investment for as long as your a broke college student. laptop computers

Cons:

none laptop computer

Other Thoughts:

Wish computer adapters already came with surge protection. desktop computer

Pros:

Not huge, although I ve yet to experience a surge, so I m not sure if it would fail or not! notebooks

Cons:

Power at my university should be less reliable so I can test this baby out. lenovo

Pros:

The best heatsink ever my system stays about 31 degrees C under load 35 degrees C Overclock to 3.66ghz travelstar

Cons:

None gateway

Other Thoughts:

I have a gigabyte GA P35 DS3L, E6750, GSKILL PC2 1000, PSU Thermaltake W0116RU, Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme, 500gig Seagate, ASUS 20X DVD R DVD Burner with LightScribe, EVGA 512-P3-N841-A3 GeForce 8800GTS laptop parts

Pros:

Effective cooling provided a well-known manufacturer. Very good quality build and good engineering. software

Cons:

In the last week I bought two of these. Thermalright STILL has not fixed the quality control problem of not ensuring a flat heatsink base. Both of my Ultra 120 Extremes required lots of sweat, wet-dry sandpaper, and time time spent lapping to get the heatsink bases flat. Come one Thermalright! Your good reputation won t last forever if you keep doing this. These complaints are nothing new. Also, Thermalright needs to work on the screw-in retention clamp. It is just not rigid enough and does not put enough downforce on the heatsink base-CPU. hard drives

Other Thoughts:

If you think this heatsink is huge, you obviously have not used top-tier heatsinks before that are designed for high performance CPUs. As far as size and weight go, the U120E is nowhere near the largest or heaviest. I m getting about 2C cooler CPU operation with the U120E compared to the Tuniq Tower 120; 3C better compared to Zalman 9700NT. System used for temperature measurement/comparison: Abit IP35-E, Intel Q6600 at 3.5GHz (1.1GHZ overclock) running at full load, very well ventilated case. electronics

Pros:

Mounting is solid and secure canon

Cons:

Size, Weight desktop pc

Other Thoughts:

Just wanted to explain a little about this thing. Yes it is huge, which can be a pro or a con, depending, but if you buy this you should already know that. Taking this straight from the box and attaching a 120mm Panaflo to it gave a drop of about 8 to 10 celcius over a Zalman 9700. With the cooler lapped, temps dropped another 8 to 10 degrees. With the processor lapped, temps dropped another 5 or so degrees. A 5000+ Black Edition overclocked to 3480MHz and running below 27C idle, is quite an achievement for air cooling, and in turn, this cooler paired with a good fan and some time and knowledge, outperforms or matches some water cooling setups that could be 4 times the price. For $100 or less, this WILL surely make your temps drop significantly keeping on par with water setups for half (or more) the price. desktop computers

Pros:

for the price it just can t be beat. I use it with a 15 MacbookPro and it fits fine. I would imagine it would fit the 17 models as well because it now comes with an extra bar to widen the support underneath. think pad

Cons:

none yet, but we ll see repair

Other Thoughts:

There is no active cooling but for my laptop I don t need it. The usb coolers will just suck the power from the laptop and I didn t want that. Love the fact that it is easy to adjust height. data recovery

Pros:

Easy to use with my 17 Dell Inspiron. cisco

Cons:

None keyboard

There are better options.
Pros:

Light, thin, and easy to pack (when LEGO-like lifters are removed). Swivels very nicely. Rubber pieces help your laptop stay in place. monitor

Cons:

17 laptops are not best suited for this stand. If you carry a lot of stuff in your bag and you carry this stand, expect to lose the plastic lifters that attach to the base. It happened to me several times. desktop

Other Thoughts:

I am now looking for a solution that includes everything in one single part. I will miss the swivel action of this stand but I won t have to worry about losing the tiny little black cones. infosys

Pros:

None that I can think of refurbished laptops

Cons:

My son took this to college to lock-up his laptop in his dorm room. When he needed to unlock the laptop one morning to take to class, the lock wouldn t open. The combination we set would no longer worked. Since he had to have this PC in class that morning, and he was running late, he had no choice but to force it out of the back of the laptop, damaging the case. wipro

Other Thoughts:

Targus replaced this lock, but my son refuses to use it, and I don t blame him. DO NOT buy this lock! lap top

Pros:

great if it would work.... refurbished

Cons:

This is the most total piece of garbage lock I ve ever owned! The combination will not remain static, I ve set it three times within 15 mins. of owning it and the thing will not hold the code. I read the directions; made sure it was the code I wanted, and the thing changed every time! I near stripped the screw trying to reset it on my laptop. For a moment I thought I was going to have to do the hacksaw thing too. STAY AWAY from this product!! I had to revise this review because of the curse words I used previously. Nuff said. memory

Other Thoughts:

I usually like Targus products, but this lock is garbage. intel

I don t see how this could protect anything
Pros:

It is a deterrent to amateur thieves and kids. as400

PSU in place, as there isn't alot of room for it.
Other Thoughts: This thing is a beast! A little on the heavy side, but lots of room. This is a great buy if you are looking for air flow, space, and expandability.
Pros: Loads of room, and drive bays, included fans. What's not to like
Cons: This. The English language manual leaves a lot to be desired as far as clarity is concerned. The pictures are not worth a thousand words, they are just confusing alongside the poor descriptions and directions.
Other Thoughts: If you buy a 2U heatsink/fan for the CPUs you put in this box and use it for another board other than what it was designed for, the two intake ducts designed for the 1207FX CPUs deliver surpising cooling that will remove any doubts you might have about this case. And buy a real PS, OK It would be a waste to put anything under 650W in this case. Thank about it.

Convenient Top I/O Panel Combo Deals Microsoft Windows Vista 32-Bit Ultimate for System Builders Single Pack DVD - OEM Thermaltake Armor Extreme Edition VA8004BWS Black 1.0mm SECC Chassis/ Aluminum Front Bezel ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Retail Who says cutting edge cool can't coincide with a hulking amount of space Thermaltake's VA8004BWS begs to differ. This massive case doesn't need any fancy words to show its edge of cool, one picture is more than enough. But don't think this is just another pretty face. With an unbelievable eleven external 5.25" drive bays, and six internal 3.5" drive bays, this case has room for whatever you need of it and then some. With such room, airflow is a natural concern. Not to worry. In the rear you have one 90mm fan, and on 120mm blue LED fan. On top you have an additional 90mm fan, and a 120mm fan in the front. The side panel comes with dual air ducts for optimum airflow upon your CPUs. With all this, what more could be asked of it How about the durability of 1.0mm steel to protect your investment, or the ease of quick connect drive bays. This may indeed be the total package you e been looking for.
Pros: Drive mounting is a easy as pie, case is really well contructed, Like the option of being locking case open microswitch. Wires were easily identifiable.
Cons: None really.
Other Thoughts: Well worth the money
Pros: INTEL BUILDERS- I'm a carpenter and hired my build done ($100). I have 3.0duocore intel 1333fsb cpu. first thing is yes....you can remove the 4 screws holding the air-guides on and replace w/ 90mm fans. Hiding the wires is another story I used blue electricians tape and they are visible. One thing I learned that didn't come across during my research is these video cards take up TWO slots. I have 2 cards SLI and used four slots right off the bat. The circular door on top w/ the nice 1394 and 2 usb's had to be removed (hub not door) because my MB asus striker extreme had a 5\4pin and the usb's connection coming down from the top is 5pin. Luckily we sqeezed a dual usb card inbetween the video cards. Another post here mention about the doors staying open on unlevel surfaces. This can be annusance. I used a couple pennies for shims and still have trouble but the cooling abilities of this unit far surpases the trouble of holding the door open while opening and closing my 20x Lite-on burner
Cons: Pro's continued- builder moved power button to bottom moved 120 led fan next three up and WD Raptor 10k sata HD is in front fan case-middle slot. Next 6 empty then top is burner. 700w OCZ PSU w\led fan fit nice and my builder loved the mesh harness over the wires. Haveing 6 fans I didn't feel the need for the top fan don't know if it would've worked anyway with so many wires comming out of psu.
Other Thoughts: With the Zalman led cpu fan my cpu and MB temps are high 30's C. Already have dust building up on Zalman, but you know...can of air. For an air-cooled system this is as open as you're gonna get. OH YEAH if you had your heart set on couple scorpion fan gaurds for 90's on side-no joy- fan covers are 80mm. 4gigs 800mhz ddr2 corsair balistix w\led's. Bottom line I love my new Christmas tree (_._)
Pros: very well constructed. wires Easily identifiable. if your looking into a case that locks and keeps the valuables safe then look at this unit
Cons: case was a bit on the heavy side when it was empty.
Other Thoughts: after putting the power supply in i found there was a metal box on the inside of the case that was removable. reason for removing was to get better air flow going into the power supply it's self.i really like the tray found at the bottom for small item storage.
Pros: Comes with 4 large fans that are very quiet. Has lots of room and easy to remove HDD holder with a fan attach. The front looks slick with the grid like covers that can be reinserted if need be. The storage bin at the bottom is nice.
Cons: The audio on the case does not with my motherboard, EVGA nForce 780i sli, even though both manual say they are compatible. The firewire is a pain to hook up to the motherboard since all the wires are separated. It would be nice to provide a block to make it easier to install. The tool free clamps for the cards make it harder to install the larger graphic cards nowadays.
Other Thoughts: I love the case, even though it is larger than some full towers. At first hard to get the power supply in.
A long Power Supply Will Fit (To the person below)
Pros: To the guy below who said that he could not get a 7 inch power supply in. What you need to do is take out the usb port on the top. With that out you are able to get a longer power supply. The problem that I ran into was the fact that if you put a long power supply in it blocks the fan bracket holes. To remedy this you could a. take off the fan (something I didn't want to do), or B. take off the top usb port, the two screws underneath (one holds the external usbm the other the plastic trim on top), finally remove the plastic trim being careful not to break the plastic tabs (easier to do from underneath). Once I got down to just the metal grill I mounted a fan to the top using a couple of screws and some standoffs I had laying around. I just dropped the screws through the metal grate(the screw head has to be big enough so it doesn't go through the greating), through the fan, and used the standoffs as nuts to hold the fan up. Seems to work fine. Also, it might be easier, if you take
Cons: off the backside of the case and insert the power supply though there, especially if you have the case loaded with other hardware. You also might have to take out (or at least push forward you other front drives depending on how much room you need. Hope that helps.
