@JorgeHGPR phenom ii no doubt you can unlock cores to make it a quad or a tri-core. i had no success with quad but its at 3 cores now and the power is equal to an amd athlon ii x3 450 maybe more power
@GamerAndReviewer actually you can buy this processor (phenom ii 550 x2) and unlock it to a 4 core or 3 core which approximately equals the athlon ii 450 x3 maybe more power than that in power. I had no luck making mine into a quad but i got it at a 3 core currently with the stock cooler
Better get an AMD Athlon II X3 which is a bit faster and cheaper.
@David20931 Its heat your lucky your haven’t cooked your cpu yet. Bring the cpu back down to stock 3.0ghz to play it safe. About 3.3~3.4ghz is most the stock cpu cooler can take. Get your self a nice 20 or 30 dollar aftermarket cooler if your going overclock that high.
@workensmart if i go to 3.7 or higher it will bsod on me after POST, why does this bsod.. heat? lack of voltage?
(please say its heat, i cant up the voltage on my mobo)
@David20931 Your overclocking that high with the stock cooler thats why your temps are so high. I never overclocked my 550 with the stock cooler. The stock cooler is only good for a 200 to 300 mhz overclock. Maybe more if you have a case with very good air flow.
@workensmart stock cooler? where you live in the snow? mine gets 58-60 under load and its on 3.62 GHz did you go that high?
@Thecuteturtle1 you should get the phenom because its faster and you can unlock the other 2 cores to have a phenom 2 quad for no extra cash. and it will play all of the games that you specified
@Thecuteturtle1 yes it can do all of that easily
hi ! i am buying a pc (mostly for gaming) and it includes either the phenom x2 or i could choose an athlon x4. which one is better? also it comes with a nvidia geforce gts 250 – is this good enough with the proccesor to play modern warfare 2 or counter strike e.t.c ?

@JorgeHGPR I have a Athlon || x2 250 and a Nvidia GTS 450 and i can run all the lastest direct x 11 games on medium and anything else before that on high. But the Athlon || x2′s are more for overclocking so if you don’t know how to overclock, don’t buy it

@JIPPIX94 I have used the Athlon II x2 250 for about a month now with a 5770 and i have been very impressed, playing source games, CODmw2, it plays and runns very smoothly on medium/high settings. I can only imagine that with the phenom it would run much smoother on high settings.

will overclocking effect the processors reliability or lifetime?
I have the AMD 550 Phenom II @ 3.1
Is overclocking to 3.5 reliable?

Got this cpu. great deal overclocked to 3.6 and unlocked to a quad core. running windows 7-64 pro. gigabyte ma790x-ud4p mobo. stays at 36C idle and 48c load using a GIGABYTE GH-PSU23-PB 120mm EBR CPU Cooler. this is a wounderful cpu if yours is stable to unlock the other2 cores. just gonna be a risk. dont expect it to work all the time.
