For those who are still running an old AMD AM2 based system and wish to squeeze the last bit of usable life out of it, then this may be the answer. If your motherboard can support an Athlon 64 X2 of 89W TDF, you can swap in this 89W version of AMD's top performing Athlon 64 X2 of that era. It's a Windsor cored model requiring more wattage, but it came equipped with two L2 caches of 1MB for each core. Clocked at 3.0GHz, it speeds up an older, slower system noticeably. Able to run Win10 Pro with no lagging issues at all, 1080P streamed videos, etc. Be sure to note the proper version of this CPU as there exists an older 125W model. This one can burn out your motherboard's regulators if not careful to check if it can handle such a load. The seller is reliable and fast and highly recommended.

Placed the new processor in. Verified before installing that the processor was compatible. Installed. Put thermal paste on. Started computer and the computer did not put up and mother board got very hot. Put the old processor in and now the computer will not put. I fear that my mother board is damaged. All I wanted to do was speed up the board a little more for one of my kids.

Upgrading is always at your own risk !! I was able to upgrade my DELL Inspiron 531 (motherboard - 0ry206) from the factory original AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4000+, to this AMD Dual Core CPU Athlon 64X2 6000+ 3.0GHz Socket AM2 ADA6000IAA6CZ 89W. This is, most possibly, the maximum processor upgrade version I can go with this motherboard. I FIRST upgraded the BIOS to version 1.0.13 . I also filled the memory bays with 8GB (4x2GB) Dell SNPYG410C/2G Memory RAM. (I do feel that the memory is overkill for this motherboard-processor combo. Possibly 6GB of PC2-5300 666.67 MHz might be the optimum.) Anyway, things are running great for the last two months. Good luck.

As far as I could tell, this is the highest specification I could install on the computer I was upgrading. I was able to source it and purchase second hand on eBay so it was as cost efficient as I could hope and the pc is now running at it's maximum along with a RAM upgrade performed at the same time. There's a lot of life left in the system now, so it's well worth researching the possibility instead of spending hundreds on a complete replacement, where here the total upgrade cost around twenty pounds :)

I purchased several AM2 CPU's to get the best performance for a couple of PC's over the years, and have to say, this is the one, stop looking! It's basically all one will get in a dual core AM2 series CPU (in fact, no AM2 quads were manufactured). Yet this is as good as some low end quads, maybe better, example, many of the AM3 CPU's that will fit will lose performance, and chances are probable that your dual channel RAM will run in single channel mode. Mine's installed in a Dell Optiplex 740 'DT' edition, the model just below the mid tower, though larger than two others (SFF & USFF). The only upgrade I felt that I needed to make was adding a copper core cooler, these are available on eBay for $12-16 shipped ( P/N:HK912) for the Optiplex 740 SFF & DT series, may fit other models. This was recommended on the Dell Hardware Forum due to it being a 95W CPU, though not mandatory, it brought temps down by a good margin (from 40C at idle to just under 30C), more so during usage. Only a thin layer of thermal paste spread evenly, a glaze, is needed & I highly recommend Arctic Silver 5, also on this site (please check seller feedback before purchasing anything). One 3.5 gram tube of this is good for 10 CPU installs, and store with the plunger upright. At any rate, this CPU breathed new life on my Dell Optiplex 740, which now dual boots Windows 10 Pro & Linux MInt Cinnamon 18. I simply cannot say enough good about this lifesaver CPU, as this PC was about to be scrapped for usable components & the rest tossed in the recycle bin outdoors. Do your AM2 PC a favor & get this chip while these are available in good condition. You'll get another 3-5 years of use out of the PC, or convert into one for the kids to do homework/play basic games on.Read full review
