I bought this CPU to replace my old Athlon II x4 630 processor. It turned to be quite satisfactory upgrade, overall PC speed went up, applications seem quite responsive, but as it always happens I am looking now at 8-core FX-line. Stock cooler is rather noisy and does not always keep up with keeping temperature low.
