What customers say about "Details"

AMD Phenom II X6 1100T CPU Processor

It is a good option for upgrading older AM3 based systems.
Unpacked and installed easily. Worked right out of the box.
Works really good. Had it installed and running in no time.
This is the best CPU available for my particular motherboard with AM3 socket.
The CPU comes with an adequate fan and installs easily. Great processor.

AMD FX-6300 CPU Processor

Good performance with fast memory. Good price as well.
The Phenom II 965 had a weaker memory controller than this FX series processor, I am very pleased to see my options increased for overclocking my ram if I so choose.
Bought this as part of a gift (built a media center pc) and it is quite fast and perhaps overkill of HD but not so much for 4k content (have yet to try it since I don't have a 4K display yet).
I tried using the Turbo boost, and only got to 3.7ghz with a aftermarket cooler, and the CPU will have cache faults frequently.
Thats not good at all, in fact the CPU started slowing itself down to prevent damage. This means I was actually getting a SLOWER processer than I paid for.

What customers say about "Technical Specifications"

AMD Phenom II X6 1100T CPU Processor

Very fast and doesn't run too terribly hot. I have overclocked it running solid at 3.9GHz with the stock cooler.
Just built a new gaming rig and decided to go with this processor. Very fast CPU.
It's an awesome processor. Very fast and very overclockable.
It is fast, it has 6 cores and it is way cheaper than its comparable Intel model.
Works flawlessly so far. Extremely fast video editing and gaming.

AMD FX-6300 CPU Processor

The AMD FX-6300 is an excellent CPU. Being a six core, it already has an advantage over the more standard quad-core options.
Upgraded my mothers Desktop PC from an old Pre-Built HP (quad-core) to this FX-6300 - 6-core and what a difference. Even though these processors are an older generation, they still kick out a very very good performance for the price.
It certainly is an old chip at this point, but the price to performance is still one of the best.
It has been stress tested for the past 5 minutes. No crashes and the temperature seems stable at 39 degress celcius. The CPU is overclocked using the OC Genie of the MSI Motherboard.
The only thing that should have been improved is the stock cooler. The temperature on this CPU measures at around 66°C at full load, which to me, is not really acceptable.

Highly recommend this product, works great with 16GB of RAM.
L3 Cache 6144 KBytes. Very nice. AMD made a cool processor.
Works with memory 16GBs of corsair xm3 2000MHz and all is perfect.
I have DDR3 1600 memory in my desktop. No processor complaints.
Some of the greatest processor architecture to come out of AMD. L3 cache memory is 6MB.

AMD FX-6300 CPU Processor

Good performance with fast memory. Good price as well.
This is a great processor if you are doing multiple things at once on your computer, remember to check the memory you have or what you will put in there because is slower then normal.
This cpu is good for everything and if you combine with an AMD graphic and 8gb of ddr3 memory ram gonna be one of the faster pc on your neighborhood !!!
It's clocked at 1.2V and a clock speed of 3.5gh right our of the box. It has 8mb of cache. Recommend to anyone for there first build. Cheap with 6 cores and 3.5gh for 100 dollars nothing can beat it..
