5 out of 5 stars Athlon 64 X2 7750 Black Edition   April 12, 2010

The performance is just great, super fast, cold runner, low noise... excellent performance.

Processing 3ds Max 2010 renders gives this guy something to work, if you're into 3D Design and have no patience to see the final render, this is not your option. If you are patient like me, it works just fine. If you're still into this little fast processor (which you should be) I would recomend have 2 PC's one for medeling and the other for renders.

I installed this processor several months ago in a computer I built. It's been working perfectly. At first I played with the overclocking quite a bit, but now I just leave it alone. If you plan to overclock, be sure to use Arctic Silver as your thermal compound to keep it extra cool. I hope to try a AMD HDZ940XCGIBOX Black Edition Quad Core really soon since I've been so pleased with this AMD processor.


5 out of 5 stars A very decent price/performance lower cost CPU   October 26, 2009

I've been using the Athlon x2 7750 BE in my main home system for a few months now with absolutely no complaints. At stock speeds, it's roughly equivalent(a little faster) to my older Athlon 5200+.

The CPU is built off of the K10 core - like the AMD Phenom. This means you've got the added benefits of the newer micro-architecture and smaller production process. Also, because the K10 architecture was made with higher clock speeds in mind, there's a lot of overclocking potential in this chip. I'm personally running mine at 3.2 Ghz at stock voltage - though I have a feeling that there's a lot more speed to squeeze out (I work on computers all day - so sometimes it's the last thing on my mind to tweak multipliers, FSB speeds and voltages). The CPU runs very cool - even at the current overclock. It's currently averaging about 35 degrees C.

The 7750BE is essentially a quad-core part with 2 cores disabled. There are some people out there claiming that you can utilize certain AMD 7xx chipset motherboards to "unlock" these other two cores using the Advanced Clock Calibration feature - I've not had any luck on this front, but I haven't put much effort into it.



5 out of 5 stars Did I say fast?   August 21, 2009

I'm very happy with this processor. Overclocking fails above 3.4, but I usually run it at 3.0 for a little speed boost. I see no reason to increase the overclocking anymore than that until I can feel the difference. The temp stays consistent at 42 degrees Celsius when overclocked to 3.0. If you can get this for a very competitive price, I'd say go for it if it meets your needs. On the other hand, with quad cores dropping in price, it might be worth exploring those to see if you can get something similarly priced.

My other system has an amd dual core @ 1.7 ghz, but with the new system I built using this processor running Windows 7, Google Chrome 4 dev, and 4 gb of memory, it's night and day as far as speed is concerned.

Do yourself a favor and pick up some Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound to keep the processor running cooler.

This is hands down the best processor for the money although I only paid 58 bucks for it. Runs everything fast from multimedia to gaming. It easily overclocked to 3.2GHz stable. Anyone who says this processor is garbage is out of their mind and doesn't know what they are talking about. This chip can also run 1066 MHz ram but only at stock speed. As always a good motherboard will yield good results if you are into OC'ing and tweaking. Amazon needs to fix the FSB1000 on this post since the processor is actually FSB1800. Again, great processor for the price.
