Weird though, check out this review: "Enabling AMD's "Cool'n Quiet" feature helps with the noisy OEM fan, reducing the core clock speed from 3200 MHz all the way down to 800 MHz and helps keep CPU core temp down as well. While in Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit playing a movie in DTS at 1080p my core temp is about 35c. This quad core CPU is awesome.
Combined with expanded video, at least 4 GB of RAM and ample HDD space, you can have a pretty mean setup.
My overall rating? Awesome. Worth the $140.
CPUz reports the core voltage (stock) at 1.192 V, core speed at 799.9 MHz with a x4 multiplier. ( [...] )
Windows Experience Index reports the CPU at 7.3 (of 7.9). "
7.3? Mine does 7.4 and 3dmark vantage of 11k
Oh it did do 11k on 3dmark vantage while gpu did 16k, dunno if that means bottleneck...
