Installation on AM3 + platform: easy
Power: neat, games (Anno 2070, Crysis 2) run in conjunction with the AMD HD 7870 smoothly.
Performance Index (after Windows 8 trial) 7.3 (scale to 9.9)
Volume: Well, under load very noisy, but this is because AMD for years mitgibt the same cooler, regardless of whether 75 Watt TDP or 125 Watt TDP here (dissipation).
... Yes, I'm planning another cooler installed
After cooling the house cooler combo with about 2,600 rpm the processor under full load just fine, but just very loud.
Otherwise, the CPU funktiert in conjunction with the aforementioned graphics card, 8GB of DDR 1600 RAM, a Samsung SSD 830 and ASRock AMD 970 extreme 3 without problems.
Four stars because of the power measured by Windows 8 and the rather loud fan.
