Thermal Specification: 158F (70C)
Thermal Design Power: 89 W
Strengths: Run relatively cool, fast, Socket 939, 1MB L2 Cache, Extreme overclocker
Weakness: none
I'm using this processor with an ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard and have had absolutely no problems. The 3700+ San Diego flies through just about anything you can throw at it. This 3700+ overclocks like no other. It can easily reach speeds of 2.6 at stock voltage and stock cooling. Buy AMD and buy this CPU!
Strengths: San Diego core, 1MB L2 cache, easy OC'ing = FAST
Weakness: NONE so far
I'm using the 3700 w/ the San Diego core with a Abit AN8 motherboard and 2 gigs of PC-3200 RAM. It overclocks very easy. I got 2.5 my 1st try, and will soon try higher. My last setup was a N-Force 2 board and XP-2500. This setup runs cooler and is lots quicker and quietier, using the "Cool and Quiet" fan setting. Thanks AMD, for a very strong and fast Processor.
Strengths: 1024kb Level 2 Cache, Over-clocking
Weakness: None
I am very happy I got this processor instead of the 3500 Venice core. I have and will be a supporter of AMD CPUs. I only recommend this CPU to anyone who wants to over-clock, otherwise spend less on a CPU with the Venice core. I bought this CPU with envisions of running at ~2.8ghz and since it has the same core as the Fx-57, I could over-clock it and spend 4 times less money. I was able to push...
Strengths: Extremely Fast and 1 Meg cache
Weakness: Cost
This is one of the best processors out right now. Plenty of power to do almost anything you could need. It is however a little expensive. It will eventually come down in price though.
Strengths: Great price, incredibly fast and durable processor.
Weakness: Wish they made the same kind of processor in dual core for the same amount of money (wishful thinking)
Great processor, everything moves fluidly and I haven't had any problems yet. The only problem that I've seen thus far is that the processor, in a lot of cases, is a bottleneck for a lot of the higher end graphics cards. Oh well, technology will catch up sooner or later.
Strengths: Run cool w/ standard CPU fan, 1 MB cache is a plus
Weakness: none so far
Very happy w/ San Diego core 64-bit CPU that I got this processor for the holiday. The installation is very easy. I am able to OC to 2.5 g and still ran very cool w/ just standard CPU fan come w/ the CPU. My system: Athlon 64-3700(San Diego) EPOX EP-9NPA + Ultra 1024 MB PC 3200
Strengths: over clocks like a charm, stays cool,1MB L2CACHE,Cheap
Weakness: Not a Dual Core
I had this processor since December 2006 It has been over clocked since at least mid January I had it hit up to 2.8GHZ stable from the Default (Stock) speed 2.2GHZ on the heatsink and thermal pad that comes with it. No special air cooling No water cooling. I did raise the vcore voltage up pass the Default setting and it still stays kinda of cool.
Strengths: price and performance
Weakness: none
I have built many systems with AMD processors, and everyone has been great. This processor is no exception, as it offers great performance at an excellent price. Buying a boxed processor also gives you piece of mind, because AMD warranties boxed processors for 3 years.
Strengths: It's one of the better AMD made. Since those chips are good OCers. Runs cool and quiet. I've managed to OC it to 2.6.
Weakness: It's not dual core.
With this in my rig, it's so much faster than the old computer I had. The Cool and Quiet feature helps too. I just wished I got a dual core instead now people are coming out w/ raving reviews about the X2's.

AMD Athlon 64 3700+ Processor
Strengths: San Diego core-1mb L2 cache, easy to overclock, runs cool.
Weakness: none
I OC'd this to 2.5ghz first try, no problem. I'm sure you could hit 2.7 or 2.8, but I'm happy the way it is now. The extra L2 cache is noticable playing games, runnig multiple programs at once, and starting applications. Great processor. It runs at 32C idle and 42C under load-fantastic!
