Product Information
Conquer intensive games and smoothly execute applications with the AMD Phenom II X4 960T Black Edition Processor. It was developed and released in 2010 by AMD, a respected manufacturer of high-performing processors and computer technologies. The CPU features support for unlocking and overclocking for the attainment of even higher levels of performance. Serious gamers and media professionals on the search for a beastly CPU should keep this product in mind. The AMD Phenom II X4 960T Black Edition Processor excels as a processor for gaming rigs and professional workstations.Designed with 45 nm microarchitecture, the Phenom II is part of the Zosma type of AMD processors. The Phenom II unit runs with four cores at a clock speed of 3 GHz. While the quad-core arrangement comes standard, there are two disabled cores present. The AMD Phenom II X4 960T has unlocked multipliers, allowing you to access the motherboard BIOS and unlock these cores. Combined with adequate cooling, the fully unlocked and overclocked system can be made to reach 4 GHz. This can result in blazingly fast multi-tasking and rapid processing of demanding applications. HyperTransport 3.0 Technology also accelerates communications in these Phenom II CPUs further. It improves the efficiency of data transference between the chip socket and other components. You can take advantage of this feature to avoid processing bottlenecks that slow games and applications down.Furthermore, nine latency-reducing memory caches are present in the Phenom II unit. It has four 128KB L1 caches and four 512KB L2 caches that run in conjunction with a 6MB L3 cache. The integrated memory controller in the hardware reduces delays by storing commonly used data in a local cache. These 64-bit processors are designed for installation in compatible motherboards with an AM3 socket. Their thermal design power (TDP) is designated as 95W within the CPU socket. Several technologies are present within the quad-core processor to provide increased efficiency in power consumption and core processing. AMD Power Management works to dynamically allocate energy for the cores according to the relevant needs of the system. It operates in tandem with AMD CoolCore, which can shut off unnecessary operations and reduce core heat levels. By conserving power and keeping temperatures in check, the longevity of computer components can be extended. Additionally, systems are kept quiet by these features, preventing noisy distractions during gaming and work sessions.AMD Turbo Core Technology continuously monitors system requirements as well. If a game or editing application is performing more slowly than expected, this technology will boost the Phenom quad CPU. This provides a noticeable increase in performance, eliminating lag and stuttering on displays. The ability of the unit to efficiently handle resource-intensive programs and transcode media has been proven by benchmarks. Graphically complex games, 3-D modeling software, and graphic design programs can run flawlessly with the Phenom II equipped. In addition, AMD Virtualization allows you to run software with the Phenom model in isolated environments. Such a feature enables the execution of legacy programs and virtual operating systems with unfettered access to memory.Product Identifiers

Perfect for old AMD PCs
I bought this CPU to revive my 10 years old PC as a secondary gaming computer for guests. Before I had a compatible 2 core CPU with a tiny bit higher clock rate in it, that worked still but was simply not enough for many games any more. After some research I determined that this model is basically the best CPU to get to upgrade Phenom II series (AM3 socket) old PCs with if you had a 2x core or 3x core before. The per core performance is no better but modern programs and games are much more able to take advantage of 4 threads. This is also black edition CPU for easy overclocking and, as it is downgraded 6x core CPU, it has turbo boost feature too. (Incidentally I would not suggest 6x core CPUs instead of this because their per core performance will be worse because of thermal limits and if you really need big paralel computing power just buy modern Ryzen for the same price, as x6 Phenom ii are still very expensive!) After this upgrade I am even able to marginally run ARMA3 on this CPU (just barely tho) which is really impressive for 10 year old CPU. It runs perfectly fine on stock AMD cooler, although I haven't tried overclocking it yet. Please note tho, that you should check your motherboards sported CPUs list before buying and it is possible that you will have to update to the latest BIOS (with the old CPU still in it!) before being able to boot with this as this CPU came out some after most old motherboards.

An excellent value for money upgrade cpu
i had an old pc built for office work, from various spare parts. After upgrading ram next upgrade was this cpu as my buying target. Immediately after receiving it, i installed it and fit perfectly. The pc felt and was faster then. It had an increase by 50% in brute power after overclocking and one core more. It felt like a breeze. I believe for its price and performance ratio this cpu was a really good bargain. I strongly recommend it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Unlocked the two extra cores, but was unstable
Good overclock with just four cores. Running it at 3.9GHz @ 1.5volts. Was unstable at 4.0GHz even with 1.53 volts (highest voltage my MB supports). Not gaming with it, just watching videos and surfing the net. Gets up to max 50 C at 22 C ambient using Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. Might try to unlock the two extra cores with an underclock and see if that works, but for now it is running good. I marked it was not easy to install because the pins were badly bent and it took a lot of time to straighten them so it would seat right. None of them were bent over all the way, but they were all going in different directions...not easy to get it right!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great chip to give new life to older systems: still relevant in 2018.
Unlocked to 6cores, though unable to OC past 3.5ghz on all - stable. I think it has to do with heat issues and or PSU giving out when under stress/load for longer periods. Not to mention my setup was originally intended for HTPC so the rest of components aren't exactly high grade. Stock 4core OC to 3.7ghz easily without voltage, anything higher for me and temps cause throttling or shutdown. I leave it stock with turbo OC because I'm more careful of power consumption... This was a great buy for me in 2018 to game at 1920x1200 with a mix of high-low settings on non AAA titles, regular net surfing and MPC-HC + MadVR.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

This is a pretty powerful cheaper CPU the can Run the newest games.
The CPU gave me no trouble. I wish that there was more overclocking information provided with it, but other than that it is up to the job. I mainly use my PC for gaming and I am using a GTX 650 Twin Frozr, and I get minimal to no bottle necking on it. The CPU itself is never forced to run over 75% and usually remains under 20% for daily tasks and office work. This CPU runs good with 8GBs of ram if you have the capable hardware.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Excellent CPU for the price!
I bought this CPU as an upgrade for my old file server that I gave to my dad. The original CPU (Athlon X2 450) was really struggling with the newer linux distro, and this is pretty much the top end CPU for the motherboard in place. The machine runs much better now. The upgrade was easy to install (thank you ZIF socket) and was detected flawlessly by the machine.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Maximum performance with less power requirements.
The particular motherboard I was in the process of upgrading needed as much power as it could get "without" adding the additional heat of a high wattage processor. This one fit the bill with perfection. The price was agreeable and the end results were pleasing.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Good for overclockers
The good: + Easy to overclock (mine went up to 4.2 GHz), especially on AM3 motherboards + 95 W TDP, so less theoretical max power consumption compared to other 125 W quad cores + Chance to unlock a 5th and a 6th core The bad: - Voltage remains the same in idle, leading to increased idle power consumption - Mine automatically disabled C'n'Q above 18.5 for the multiplier (had to raise the FSB to reach higher clocks _and_ keep C'n'Q working)Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Upgraded an old HP and used AMD Overdrive to overclock, can play Fortnite now
Added this to an old HP desktop I've had for 9 years. Then overclocked it with AMD Overdrive to 3.8 MHz. Along with a modestly good video card and pretty good graphics quality settings, I can play solid Fortnite now with my son on his playstation. If someone knows how to unlock the other processors via software, I'd be golden!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
