For an "older" CPU that is being used for a "budget build" desktop upgrade, I am very shocked at the speed my desktop now operates at (I spent around $50 for the CPU and motherboard together (I upgraded from a stock MB to an MSI 785GM-E51 MB), like I said its a "very budget friendly" build/upgrade). The online game I am currently playing used to be very laggy, I could not have my 2 characters in the same room, now runs like hot butter and I can have both characters in the same room all night long. The speed at which I can flip thru multiple website pages and tabs is amazing to myself. All in all, this CPU in my opinion runs "PHENOMENALLY".. I would recommend this CPU to anyone that has a very limited budget and wants to upgrade their desktop from stock to something better.

This cpu may or may not work in my old xfx geforce 8200 mobo, the mobo is rated for 125w processors but when i install the Processor it bottlenecks down to 800MHz and i cannot get it to work properly. also 2 slots of my RAM fail to work when the processor is installed. i am trying to get a response from XFX to see if there is a more up to date BIOS for this board in the hopes it can support this Phenom Processor. if it doesnt work i will just have to scrap the old girl and build a new RYZEN based pc.

The AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE is a good processor that is standing the test of times. The performance far exceeds the old duo-core processors that AMD use to make. When this processor first came out I could not afford to own it. So I waited for the prices to come down in order to upgrade my duo-core processors. I'm very surprised and rather impressed with this seller, turns out they are very reputable as a seller. Processor booted the system right away without any delays. I have upgraded all my computers to quad and double quad (8 core) processors. Makes the applications faster than before. I usually don't give a 5 star review to a seller, but this seller has earned the 5 star rating I gave them.

Very happy with this processor. Was running an Athlon II X2 and, naturally, this Phenom is substantially faster. One program in particular, that does a lot of text processing, shows just how fast the difference is. Its a parser for an MMORPG and after playing for a night it has a ton of data built up from recording all of the fights. When you reset the data, with the Athlon, it would take a minute to get rid of all of the data. Once it even locked up the computer freezing my game for a minute while it processed. Now, with the Phenom, if I click to clear all data it appears as if nothing had happened. I go the data screen and it is all already gone. That is the speed difference of this thing, absolutely amazing. Was also able to easily overclock to right over 3.6 GHz using my mobo's built in auto overclock feature (7% overclock). I'm able to get it to 3.7 GHz pretty easily but every now and then the BIOS doesn't seem to like it so I'm just keeping it at 3.6. I'm sure someone that knows more about OC'ing could pull of more much easier than I can but I'm perfectly happy with where it is running and the price.Read full review
I am very pleased with the AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz Quad-Core Processor. It has taken my computer to a whole new level where I can make things work way a lot faster especially with video editing. My Motherboard is an ASUS M4A785-V EVO, Socket Type: AM3, previously run by a Phenom II Dual-Core Callisto @ 3.1 GHZ. I thought I had the processing power I needed but fell short of my expectations. So basically I had to wait the right moment for some upgrades when buying this little Quad-Core guy, like installing a 64-bit operating system, expanding the memory to 12 Gigabytes, installing a new video card (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti) and a hard disk drive upgrade to a Solid State Drive. I can't ask for more when talking about AMD Phenom II X4 965. It's just awesome! No need to invest in a new system. I definitively recommend it not only to my friends, but to anyone.Read full review
