Pros: Cheap, Hyper Threading, Great for the price
Cons: No iGPU, cannot overclock
Pros: Technically 8-core, 4.0Ghz base clock, lots of cache, AM3+ socket
Cons: overclocking is heat limited very quickly
Pros: Great Speeds, never close to full load during gaming, and loves to be OC
Cons: Can't think of any
Pros: Excellent overclocking potential, an 8-core processor that's now under $160, it handles anything I throw at it very well.
Cons: The only real drawback to AMD processors... the weaker memory controllers compared Intel Core i7s
“I enjoyed my i7 930 I got into the 1366 right around the time the super golden 920's were fading and I was hoping there would be a few 930 chips on that level. There were, but mine wasn't one of them. I got a decent clock on it and the process was both a learning experience and entertaining. These days with the unlocked multipliers overclocking has become a lot more simplified. I think messing...” --Robitussin

“Decided to switch to a 3770k from a 2500k when I found a deal for $220 from a fellow OCN member. It is a delidled chip and I personally sanded (or polished) the aluminum plate on top of the cpu die and also the side that has contact with the CPU die itself with a 1500 grit sand paper. Temps with an EVO cooler has been excellent. ON STOCK settings IDLE temps are around low 20s and Highest temp...” --akbisw

“A great way to get into the X79 chipset for cheap.Has a limited multiplier (37-44x)so you have to overclock it the old way if you want to go beyond the range, by tweaking the straps (kinda like the FSB), but leaves the BClock (which controls the other hardware untouched). It overclocks well, I was able to get my chip up to 5.0Ghz under water. It's a great chip if you want to reap the benefits...” --Amdkillsintel

“This by far the best bang for your buck when looking to build a gaming Rig. If you put the money into an aftermarket heatsink and OC you will not need a new CPU for many many years. This thing is simply a beast” --DarkChaos205
“Basically that's all I need from a CPU-a power house that will be handy when I need it. Besides the price, I have dysfunctional GPUs in my system (stupid seller doesn't want to replace them) and when they ain't working properly I have to shut down the whole shebang and can't use it for a while since there's no on-board GPU. Well, it's these 2 extra cores instead of the onboard GPU so I think...” --dominox64
