AMD FD8350FRHKBOX FX-8350 Series 8-Core Edition Processor - Black

You were one of the lucky ones to have bought this back when it was first released. In all honesty, this chip still run's today's games! But, DO NOT BUY OR upgrade now as ryzens & better are out. About the CPU? This CPU plays well in 1920x1080 GTX 1660 AMP todays video cards in games like Monster Hunter World 60fps with about 70% CPU utilization at 4.2Ghz or higher The Division 2 GTFO Road Redemption Killing floor 2 Fortnite Resident evil 2 remake Pretty much any game released yesterday with the right setup. My system specs other then videocard & cpu: RAM: ripjaws x2 16gb ram with ares x2 16gb ram XMP @ 1600mhz PSU: 750w Corsair HDD's x2 MB Gigabyte 970 rev 2.# GPU's tested with this processor: GTX 960 AMP gddr5 & GTX 1660 AMP gddr6 Some games are broken as they are older or are frame limited. Other games may work better on single core performance as well such as ARMA 3 & Escape from Tarkov. However. The AMD FX 8350 series still is one of the best chips on yesterdays market for the FX series. It also holds the highest OC online 8.1Ghz! Meaning, the RAM speeds & other components is whats actually slowing it down at this point. Since there is no DDR4 am3 socket MB, there is actually no telling how far this CPU could go. P.S. I do not recommend trying to overclock pass 6ghz at all lul. On the box, yes, it says you can achive 6ghz. WARNING: DO NOT USE or BUY WITH STOCK FAN! You will expierence so many issues from noise to BSOD to freezes, lockups, shutdowns. The Stock fan cooling is way too TINY for this power hungry CPU & it will slow it down performance wise & may cause damage over time due to lack of cooling. If you do use the STOCK fan, I recommend disabling Turbo Mode right away & keeping all cooling options enabled. Power options for windows, set CPU cooling policy to PASSIVE. & be sure its always on Balanced mode in power options. This will keep things better.

価格も安いし、ひと昔前のCPUですが、定格で使用するには、まったく不満がありません。

Hallo, ich habe diesen Prozessor gekauft, um meinen fx-6100 auszuwechseln und ich muss sagen es hat sich gelohnt. Ich verwende meinen Rechner hauptsächlich fürs zocken UND streamen. WARUM AMD: Denn hier muss Intel (in dieser Preisklasse) einstecken. Wenn man auf die Prozessorleistung eines einzigen Kernes schaut und Intel mit AMD vergleicht stellt man fest, dass Intel dort 50% besser ist. Spielebenchmarks gehen generell besser für die Intels aus. Dies liegt aber nur daran, dass die meisten Spiele nur 4 CPU verwenden. Es gibt nur wenige die mehr auslasten (BF4, Crysis 3). Das wird sich in Zukunft aber ändern! Die Intels sind wesentlich teurer! Für diesen Preis bekommt man noch nicht mal einen i5 der neuesten Generation. Wenn man nämlich wirklich alle 8 Kerne der CPU auslastet, ist AMD BESSER. Es gibt keinen 8-Kerner von Intel, der annährend in diesem Preissegment ist. Die neuen Spielkonsolen haben auch AMD Prozessoren. Und warum? Weil diese sehr viele Aufgaben auf einmal erledigen müssen und AMD das für den Preis besser kann. Benchmarks zeigen das. Meine ERFAHRUNGEN mit dem FX-8350: Der Prozessor ist leicht einzubauen (Wer nicht genau weiß wie, sollte sich einfach Youtube-Videos anschauen). Ich zocke hauptsächlich Company of Heroes 2 (ein aktuelles grafikintensives Spiel) und streame es. Dabei muss ich sagen, kann ich das Spiel in maximaler Qualität zocken und streamen. Das Spiel nutzt nur 4 Kerne, das reicht aber vollkommen aus. Die restlichen Kerne werden fürs streamen verwendet (Streamen ist sehr Rechenintensiv). Mit diesem Prozessor laufen alle Spiele die auf dem Markt sind einwandfrei und werden es auch zukünftig durch die potenzielle Auslastung aller Kerne. DER KÜHLER: Es wird rel. viel über den mitgelieferten Kühler lamentiert. Ich finde aber das er ausreichend ist und auch nicht "wie ein Jet startet". Ja, er könnte leiser sein, er stört mich persönlich aber nicht. FAZIT: Für diesen Preis gibt es nichts besseres auf dem Markt.

I bought this as a new processor to fit into a new system. It arrived in the box as pictured with the chip itself in a display plastic case in the side. The stock cooler takes up the majority of the box. Installation: The processor itself seems to be very well built but I am not an expert on these things. It was very easy to fit onto a m5a97 2.0 mother board. The stock cooler comes pre applied with thermal paste but I do not know what type. Installation of the cooler was pretty easy but was a little bit fiddly with the levers. However, once fitted, it really does not seem like it will come off unless I intend it to. Use: The processor has 8 cores and runs at 4.0 GHz at stock. I have realised that this means it can run pretty damn hot. The stock cooler is able to manage it as long as you don't run anything too intensive. I have run BOINC at 70% cpu time and Tomb Raider and it kept the temperature around 65 degrees but this is not something that I want to continue as I may want to overclock at some point in the future. At the temperature mentioned the stock cooler is rather loud and definitely noticeable in the room it is in (4500-5000+rpm!). However, if you aren't running particularly heavy games then this cooler is probably sufficient, just. With the motherboard above and an ambient temp in the room of 18-20 degrees I got an idle temp of about 25-30 degrees and normal to heavy load was 45-50 degrees. Heavy load is mentioned above. This is using AI Suite II which comes with the motherboard software. The air cooler apparently recommended for this chip is the hyper 212 evo which I have now ordered so I will see if it makes any significant difference to the temperatures and running of the chip. However, if you are of the "overclock chips to maximum" person, I would recommend looking at tomshardware or overclock.net as they have some very helpful ideas regarding this particular chip. Given the power of the chip and the price point, I am very very happy with my purchase and therefore recommend it. Just seriously consider getting a third party cooler instead of using the stock one.

Good Product....delivery was good...the packaging was good enough...got the original product... Now about the processor....its a very good budget processor....Octa-core with 4.2ghz stock clockspeed per core isn't a matter of joke..besides that, this processor supports overclocking upto 5.0 Ghz.....don't know about new games..but slightly old games like...COD , Arkham knight etc...even new game PUBG run smoothly in this system with a decent graphics card....I love FX-8350..
