The 140w chips need a 790fx or 790gx motherboard. I have heard a 125w version is in the works. This chip is not plagued by the TLB erratum. 80% of People (4/5) found this review helpful.

jimmyq69 from TX Member Since: Jan 2008 View Member's: Reviews	Great Quad Core CPU Strengths: Fast. Quad Core. Very Overclockable. Weaknesses: Not that many apps that truly take advantage of Quad core yet. Summary: The best thing about the AMD black edition CPUs are that they have an unlocked multiplier so you're free to overclock as much as it can handle. This CPU overclocks great and reliably. This is one of the few Black Edition CPUs that actually come with Fan & Heatsink in the box. (Of course for any extreme overclocking, get some good aftermarket stuff). The quad core is cool and you should probably go ahead and buy one if you're in the market now for a CPU but really most end user apps don't really get much out of a quad core - yet. 77% of People (10/13) found this review helpful.
