jmfahnbulleh from DC Member Since: Feb 2003 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 3 Months	AMD Phenom 9850 Quad Core Processor Strengths: Awesome processor!!! Great Overclocking capabilities! Great price, now even lower priced since I purchased it 3 months ago. Weaknesses: None that I can think of! Summary: This is an awesome processor, especially if you're interested in one that allows you to overclock it. The CPU/FSB multiplier is unlocked therefore I was able to overclock this processor up to about 3.0GHz without needing to increase the voltage. I thought about going a little higher since my CPU is water cooled by a Koolance CPU-340 CPU Block, but my goal was to reach 3.0GHz. I will try to push it further at a later date, but for now, I am quite satisfied with the performance. I am running Vista 64-bit on an abit A-N78HD Motherboard with 4GB of memory and everything runs smoothly without any problems whatsoever. Highly recommended!!! 91% of People (10/11) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate. There are no comments for this review.

GeorgeFeder Member Since: Jun 2008 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 3 Days	AMD Phenom 9850 Quad Core Processor Strengths: The AMD Phenom 9850 Quad Core Processor runs 3.5 times faster. Weaknesses: none that I can see. Summary: The AMD Phenom 9850 Quad Core Processor has a better price per performance index over Intel. I use my PC to do circuit simulation and Autocad design and have used AMD products for at least 25 years. One thing that I wished they would do is to tell you that a heat sink came with the processor. 77% of People (17/22) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?

jwkoda from MD Member Since: Aug 2005 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 3 Months	AMD Phenom 9850 Strengths: Very Overclockable, Quad Core, Black Edition Weaknesses: None Summary: The Phenom 9850 is another great CPU from AMD. This quad-core processor is the Black Edition and the multiplier is unlocked. This results in great potential for overclocking. Use a good CPU cooler and go crazy with this processor.
