What customers say about "Details"
AMD Phenom II X4 965 CPU Processor
- For an AM3 socket this is one of the best options available.
- We married this cpu to a ASUS AM3 socket M4A88T-M motherboard, works great.
- If you have a motherboard that has a socket for AMD3 CPU, then this is what you want.
- Great upgrade for anyone who has an older AM3 socket mother board.
- This is the fastest and best I could find for my socket type.
AMD FX-6300 CPU Processor
- Good performance with fast memory. Good price as well.
- The Phenom II 965 had a weaker memory controller than this FX series processor, I am very pleased to see my options increased for overclocking my ram if I so choose.
- Bought this as part of a gift (built a media center pc) and it is quite fast and perhaps overkill of HD but not so much for 4k content (have yet to try it since I don't have a 4K display yet).
- I tried using the Turbo boost, and only got to 3.7ghz with a aftermarket cooler, and the CPU will have cache faults frequently.
- Thats not good at all, in fact the CPU started slowing itself down to prevent damage. This means I was actually getting a SLOWER processer than I paid for.

What customers say about "Technical Specifications"
AMD Phenom II X4 965 CPU Processor
- With air cooling the max stable overclock you will likely get is 3.5 GHz.
- I upgraded my PC to this processor and the speed is noticeable at first boot.
- This processor gave me the desired speed. Still fast.
- If you need to keep costs down and still want some decent speed this is the processor to go with.
- Really nimble. It is very fast and offers great overclocking speed.
AMD FX-6300 CPU Processor
- The AMD FX-6300 is an excellent CPU. Being a six core, it already has an advantage over the more standard quad-core options.
- Upgraded my mothers Desktop PC from an old Pre-Built HP (quad-core) to this FX-6300 - 6-core and what a difference. Even though these processors are an older generation, they still kick out a very very good performance for the price.
- It certainly is an old chip at this point, but the price to performance is still one of the best.
- It has been stress tested for the past 5 minutes. No crashes and the temperature seems stable at 39 degress celcius. The CPU is overclocked using the OC Genie of the MSI Motherboard.
- The only thing that should have been improved is the stock cooler. The temperature on this CPU measures at around 66°C at full load, which to me, is not really acceptable.

What customers say about "Cache And Memory Specifications"
AMD Phenom II X4 965 CPU Processor
- Once I install this I decided to keep my motherboard and memory DDR2. Perfect works.
- Was using another prior to this (which was missing an L3 Cache). That L3 Cache makes quite a difference.
- Good power, cache, and heat parameters, and fast speed capacity.
- I think the architecture of the cache on this processor makes it a better gaming choice over the competition.
- Works great with my 32GB RAM. One of the best processors for me.
AMD FX-6300 CPU Processor
- Good performance with fast memory. Good price as well.
- This is a great processor if you are doing multiple things at once on your computer, remember to check the memory you have or what you will put in there because is slower then normal.
- This cpu is good for everything and if you combine with an AMD graphic and 8gb of ddr3 memory ram gonna be one of the faster pc on your neighborhood !!!
- It's clocked at 1.2V and a clock speed of 3.5gh right our of the box. It has 8mb of cache. Recommend to anyone for there first build. Cheap with 6 cores and 3.5gh for 100 dollars nothing can beat it..
