AMD Phenom II X4 955 HDZ955FBGIBOX 3.2 GHz/6 MB L3/125W Processor Description:
True quad core enabling cores communicate at die level. Direct Connect Architecture directly connects the processors, the memory controller and the I/O to the CPU. Enable concurrent 32 and 64 bit, Integrated Memory Controller. Increases performance by decreasing memory latency, Scales memory bandwidth and performance, HyperTransport Technology gives up to 16.0GB/s peak bandwidth/processor, decreasing I/O bottlenecks, Up to 37GB/s processor to system bandwidth. Shared L3 cache either 6MB or 4MB, 512K L2 cache/core, Shortening access times to greatly accessed data. 128 bit FPU. BENEFIT: bigger data paths and quicker floating point calculations. One 16 bit link at up to 4000MT/s, Up to 8.0GB/s HyperTransport I/O bandwidth, Up to 16GB/s in HyperTransport Generation 3.0 mode, Up to 37GB/s processor to system bandwidth HyperTransport bus + memory bus. BENEFIT: fast access times to I/O. A high bandwidth, low latency integrated memory controller supports PC2 8500 DDR2 1066, PC2 6400 DDR2 800, PC2 5300 DDR2 667, PC2 4200 DDR2 533 or PC2 3200 DDR2 400 SDRAM unbuffered DIMMs ¿, AM2+, Support for unregistered DIMMs up to PC2 8500DDR2 1066MHz and PC3 10600 DDR3 1333MHz ¿, AM3, Up to 17.1GB/s memory bandwidth for DDR2 and up to 21GB/s memory bandwidth for DDR3. Improved power management features automatically and instantaneously change performance states and features depending on processor prerequisites enabling cooler and quieter platform designs. Power may be switched on or off inside a single clock cycle, saving energy with no affect to performance. I.E, the memory controller can turn off the write logic when reading from memory, Works automatically without the need for drivers or BIOS enablement. Enables efficiency by dynamically activating or turning off parts of processor. Separate power planes for cores and memory controller, Improving efficiency by on demand memory performance while allowing for decreased power intake.

I paired this CPU up with my Asus M4A79T. This was a big improvement from my old processor, the Pentium D 820. There’s many of head room when I got this to 3.6ghz easy. That was as far as I able to get stable on stock cooler, stock voltage. This is no i7 but it sure competes with the q9xxx series Intel CPUs. I hear this chip has a hard time going past 4.0ghz on air on a 64 bit OS. I’d have to attempt it out after I get a good heat sink fan.

This CPU has been used for 1st build. The processor itself is easy to install, stock cooler was a little tougher.

CPU is fast and able to run anything without a hiccup. When running a torture test I was still able to play songs in iTunes, watch a movie, or play a game without any hesitation from the processor.

My only problem was when running prime 95 processor could creep above 60C with stock cooler, I thinked the thing was faulty and thought about returning it. Tried re seating the stock cooler and used arctic silver as my thermal compound instead. Still kept going above 60C.

Decided to attempt under volting and was able to get the chip to idle under 40 and no higher than 54 at full load which alleviated my concern that I had a flawed product. Will be purchasing an after market cooler soon.

Overall happy with my buy, processor performs well, I am not sure why anybody could want something faster.
