Review : Brilliant CPU for a small quiet PC
I was building a small PC for the living room - not just for Home Theatre, but to use for processing photos and videos, so I wanted the most powerful CPU that I was confident would stay cool. I couldn't find a slim CPU cooler that was specified to be able to cope with a 77W CPU, so I chose this 65W CPU.

It works very well! Opening RAW photos and compressing videos are very fast. Power consumption when idle is low, and with a good CPU cooler (not the stock cooler which was too tall for my case), it stays below 60deg even at 100% load.

Definitely recommended if you need a fast 65W CPU.
