Below are reviews found on other web sites for this product submitted by customers.
Neoseeker's review: The X4 965 Black edition performs surprisingly close to Intel's QX9770 and Core i7 920, especially in games. The only downside is the high power consumption.

Very solid CPU for an amazing price, right now it's overclocked to 3.7ghz and is running very stable z on average 39 degrees celcius with the corsair water cooling system.

I bought this along with the Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P and 2 x 2GB (2 sets for a total of 8GB) Mushkin 996601 from NCIX and have been playing with settings for a while. Running a basic Swiftech CPU cooling loop with fans running nearly silently in an Antec Sonata II case (using 850watt Supply) I can only hold 3.74GHz (17 x 220) stable for an extended Prime run. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and that coupled with the fact that 8GB of RAM is harder to 'make' stable...well...I still feel that AMD should have had a little more headroom on the overclock here. Intel has been pulling away for some time now, however, price is still paramount to me and I am an AMD fan.

Just replaced a dual core 3.2ghz AMD Athlon 5 series black edition AM3 Processor with this 965 Phenom II Quad, Unbelievable, intel is right on time to get ahead because AMD is owning the price, and performance market for Quad core, and Dual core processors. The stock clock is 3.4ghz and runs at about 25-30C with the stock cooling, we overclocked her to 3.6 and ran at only 2-4 Degrees hotter. A cheap CPU Cooling attachment will run this at 4Ghz if not higher, in no time.
