[CODE][CENTER][B]Official AMD Athlon II X3 Owners Club[/B][/CENTER]
Often cast as the unwanted middle child between the dual core and the quad core, the triple core Athlon II is quite the little processor. It is a great gaming processor and is excellent for muli-threaded tasks. Also with the right motherboard containing ACC the Athlon X3 might be able to be unlocked into a quad core.
CPU History
The Athlon II series is based on the AMD K10 architecture and derived from the Phenom II series. However, unlike its Phenom siblings, it does not contain any L3 Cache. The three core Rana is derived from the Propus quad core design, with one core disabled.

I recomemnd you download CPUz to validate your CPU and CPUID HWMonitor to monitor your CPU temps.
Here is the spreadsheet. I will try and update this daily.
*This list was created with the post's in this thread, using only the people who have the CPU in their signature.
If you still use the Athlon II X3 but haven't it in your signature just post and i will add you to the list.
