Product ReviewsAMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ 2.9 GHz Dual-Core (ADO5600IAA5DO) Processor

Very happy

For a regular mail I thought it would take 5 to 7 days but it came in only two day. The CPU was well packaged and it did work flawless, the price was very reasonable. I figured I would take the time and write this to let others know about my experience with the transaction: Excellent!Read full review...

cheap upgrade

It made a big difference replacing a 4000+. It does run hotter. I read where some of these have a defect that makes them run hotter. Maybe I got one of those, but I was able to keep it from overheating by using a larger heatsink I had on hand.Read full review...

Very solid build

I bought this used to replace my 3800+. This version is 65nM one at 2.9GHz which rated at 65W. For man motherboard, this is the upper limit, hence the best I can get. Beyond this will be problem for my motherboard, power supply and case. Very easy to install that makes you longing for the old 90s that making a PC is an "art". Performance is noticeable faster than 3800+ at 2GHz. The tricky part is with 3800+ my HD video playing uses close to 90% CPU, but only 50% or 30% with 5600+. Seem there are limitations and minimum requirement now HD is the trend. Sorry that I have to replace my 3800+ even though it still has life on it.

I put in 5600+ with OCZ memory, work like a charm.Read full review...

Perfect CPU upgrade from my Compaq Presario SR5313WM

I bought this pacific processor, as a upgrade for my computer.But my motherboard has many limitations, after research, this best processor that could be installed.

I do like that processor is a dual core, that was a 2.9 ghz, and meet my computers requirements!

It was plug & play, easy to install, I had do nothing at all! The computer recognized it, loaded drivers, was ready after boot-up. And has worked perfect since, like a new computer, no stall & no hesitation!Read full review...

Good, cheap upgrade until you can get on the next platform

This was the best option for my Compaq Sr5605 desktop. Great value for the money. Since this specific model utilizes 65 nm architecture (Brisbane), it was compatible with my Compaq Ivy 8 mobo (M2N68-LA)even though it wasn't listed as a supported processor in the latest Bios (version 5.14). This makes it the best processor upgrade for that unit (Narra), or any unit which supports up to AM2+ sockets and up to 1.35 v. Had I bought a 5400+, which was the last supported processor in the Bios, I would have paid almost as much, but would have gotten much less in value. I haven't been able to overclock this chip because of Bios limitations, but under heavy loads it performs well, even on my paltry 250w power supply. Until I can get a new unit, or psu/Am3+ mobo/windows/quad-core cpu, this is the best upgrade available.Read full review...

Excellent CPU

With this CPU my PC performs much better after Athlon 64 3200+. OS boots very fast. Full screen videos at youtube plays smooth. I think OS responds faster than on Pentium E6500K or Xeon E5440. On very bad M/B my sample works well on 3118 MHz. With clean stock coole @ max rpm on Arctic MX-2 compound it has 35/38 C (CPU/cores) and 50/55 C at full screen video (20 C ambient, Q'nQ active).
Thanks for reading.Read full review...

Muy contento con mi "nuevo" procesador

He quedado muy satisfecho con este procesador.Me ha llegado en solo 13 dias desde China al Peru ,todo un record.
El precio ha sido excelente ,y lo he instalado en mi viejita PC con socket AM2 , sin ningun problema ,hasta su grasa termica trae consigo.

Claro,no hay forma de saber cuanto uso ha podido tener antes ,pero acepto que al comprar usado siempre hay un riesgo potencial,ademas aca ya practicamente no se pueden conseguir procesadores AM2 y cuando hay su precio es casi como el de uno nuevo y actual.

Y efectivamente si hay mejoria en el desempeño de la PC.

Recomiendo su compraRead full review...

Great buy

After installing this processor chip and 2Gb additional ram, my 13 year old desktop now runs faster than my 2 year old laptop.

An upgrade that is certainly worth doing. Dimension E521

Had an old Dimension E521 with a 3600 CPU that needed some serious upgrading. It's a Point of Sale workstation, so it didn't need any fancy gaming-type horsepower, but I slapped on a SSD, 6G DDR, and this new processor. What a difference!!! A great way to get a few more years life out of an old plow horse.Read full review...

I recommend this CPU for anyone who has the Acer Aspire AMD 64 Athlon.

Excellent CPU. Works great and was very easy to install. It didn't require any BIOS upgrades. A very economic and efficient upgrade for my Acer Aspire.
