AMD Athlon II X4 630 Quad-Core Processor - 2.80 GHz, 2MB Cache, Socket AM3, 95W, 45 nm, 3 Year Warranty, Retail Boxed

I got this thinking it was only the processor and bought a separate heat-sink and fan but it comes with one and thermal interface applied.

Not much to say about a CPU really, but its speed is INCREDIBLE. Instant responses to everything, and intensive scanning takes minutes where it took my old PC hours. I bought a huge CPU fan to go along with it but it gives off so little heat that the stock fan (which comes with thermal compound pre-applied) would probably be more than sufficient. My CPU temperature rarely goes above 30, no matter how intensely I've been using it.Really cheap for what you get, very highly recommended.

I have to say I am very disappointed with this CPU. True that I was looking for a bargain as I had a tight budget, but a CPU which simply slows down under load is truly a no go. Much better to go for faster 2 cores than use this CPU

I've build a fair few PC's with this processor and also the Athlon II x2 as well.This is ideal for those who want a bit more power to hit the metal when things get more heated! Ideal for a low cost system for photo and video work, the quad core is quite capable doing this kind of work and leaving you with enough processor power to multi task effectively.I would suggest the x2 for office computers and less demanding work over the x4, but this ia good value processor that is well worth the extra cost over the dual/triple core Athlon II's if you are doing as above more intensive work. It is true that the lack of level 3 cache might hit it's performance a bit in some situations (more so games and compression software), on the other hand for video editing and conversions the lack of cache does not appear to bring any or much of a pentalty v the quad core Phenom II's. This is a 95w cpu which runs quite cool with the stock cooler and quite a bit less heat than the Phenom II x4 125W processors. The Phenom II's will appeal more to gamers with the additional cache.Well worth a look for bang per buck buyers.For quiet pc enthusiasts they also undervolt fairly well, though you could also dig around and find a Phenom II 840 3.2GHz (which is basically a slightly higher clocked 95w Athlon II with again no level 3 cache) There isn't a lot of difference with the performance between the 2 being honest. It's not a new CPU getting on a bit but if you're looking for a reasonable update from a dual core and don't want to change boards this isn't a bad choice.

Comes supplied with logo sticker for case as well as heat-sink, fan and thermal coupling compound. Plugged in to my new Asus AM3 motherboard in seconds and has shown no signs of overheating on instability. Good performance and quite a bit cheaper than a Phenom.

This processor is amazing. It has outperformed all of my expectations. It scores a 7.2 in the Windows 7 Experience Index.I must say that this is the fastest $100 processor I have ever owned. This thing is great for gaming, and even better for multi-tasking. Overall, this $100 dollar quad core is an amazing buy. I recommend it to all who are on a budget, but still want fast performance. Go AMD!

Arrived early and worked perfectly in my Optiplex 740 with a GT 1030. No overheating or other issues.
