AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ Eight-Core Desktop Processor

Comment:
Very good performance CPU for the price. Very fast and can be overlock. I would recommend this CPU for budget builds

Comment:
Work great with my ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 on Windows 8. CPU Score of 7.9 (max) on Windows Experience Index without any overclocking.

Bought this to replace my old Phenom X6 1055t 6 core chip that came with the Mobo I bought last year. It's about 1/3 faster at 4GHz compared to 2.8GHz on the old girl. What I found surprising is that, even though it's running a higher clock speed it's actually running about 5C cooler (on average, no OC) than the old chip. It doesn't get much better than that!

I'm in LOVE!!! these might not be as fast as intel but what do i care. The power of this beast vs price is incredible! I'd rather have a kick ass processor, with more power than i need, and some money left over for the games i'm want to play. Intel might be faster but you DEFINITELY pay for it!!!

Added this to my latest upgrade is running great, had played with OC a bit and have no problems.Runs any game you want. Did not use stock cooler put a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo, whisper quite and cools very well.Great bang for your buck.

replacing a hex-core Thuban 1090T 3.3GHZ, that had been overclocked to 3.9GHZ. Not overclocking this new CPU, and I see a very big improvement. Would purchase again if I need one.

Had this for about a month and am not disappointed in the least. Overclocked it to 4.5 paired with liquid cooling and I can't see the need for an upgrade for a long time.

when you look at the price u go O.O holly cow but its so worth it I have 2 pcs running these and I havnt seen anything that can keep up

this chip is easy to overclock. can easily get to 4.5Ghz without adjusting voltages or anything. once you start adding more voltage to the chip you can easily get to 5ghz, the only thing that needs to be watched are the temperatures of the chip, so if you have a decent cooling solution, overclocking is a breeze. it also helps if you have a good motherboard is very clean vrm solution, and cooling for that vrm solution.

Being old and cheap (with myself), I was going to build a system with a Sabertooth and 32 gigs of Crucial Ballistix using an older processor to see if stuff worked. Fortunately I came to my senses and added this to my order.Things went very well with no need for me to be available.Hi Jim,I have made the requested changes, charged your credit card, and sent the updated invoice by email. If there is anything else I can assist with, please let me know.Gosh that was great!Just for disclosure, I've run Linux on AMD for the last nine years, but I got 5 Intel machines for grand-kids - core two to i7.This Sabertooth/32gigs/8350 machine is just cruising. Right now it's running Linux Mint 13 but it can run any Linux.First step is overnight mem-test then heavy duty processor testing.

Pair this with Asus Crosshair V Formula and 32 megs, O.C to 4.5 with liquid cooler. Running nice and fast for all you want to do.

For the price, it's hard to go wrong with this little FX chip. Paired with an Asus CHV Formula-Z and a custom loop, this chip is fast! Using an H80i, I was able to get 4,8Ghz and the custom loop can max it near 5,2Ghz (~1,55V). That being said I run it 4,8Ghz (1,476V) for a 24/7 OC.If you're less "extreme" in your build, just know that this is a quality chip that can get easily 4,4-4,6Ghz on air; just don't use the stock fan!Coming from a Phenom II X6 1090T u 4,2Ghz, I can assure you it was a step up in every scenario (gaming, video editing, photoshop, etc.)

I have this on an Asus Crosshair V Formula, huge improvement over my old Phenom II X4 965. If you are looking for a gaming machine this is worth looking at. It is very close to the performance of Intel i5 3570K but at a lower price point.

I really like the performance from this thing, can overclock quite easily, does anything I throw at it.However, the fan is VERY loud, and somehow still very inadequate at cooling the processor. It gets quite hot quite fast without overclocking at all, but this is largely a problem with my current case fans. Im doing a huge upgrade in the next couple of days to water cooling and new case fans, plus a new side case fan where there currently isnt one.I should note that the heatsink did not quite fit my motherboard, the arms were slightly too short to attatch to my motherboard brackets easily. So what I had to do was loosen the motherboard brackets a little bit so now the brackets are held onto my motherboard with the tips of the screws. Seems stable but is not optimal at all, quite disappointing but is most likely a problem with my motherboard brackets being too short themselves. Motherboard is MSI 970A-G46.so overall a great product, fan is loud, but due to my own systems problems and lack of synergy with motherboard brackets this should work better with other peoples systems.For these reasons I give a 3 out of 5. Really loud fan and heatsink should fit onto my mobo better.

I'm satisfied with my purchase of this processor. I use it in a bitcoin mining rig. The CPU itself is busy hashing away for litecoins using XOP optimizations for a decent performance boost.This machine also doubles as a LAN gaming rig with two Radeon HD 7870s in Crossfire. In the games I tend to play over at LANs this processor does the job (BF3, Star Craft, DOTA, LoL etc).

Comment:
Bought that CPU to replace my old one and its a nice CPU for gaming if you don't want to spend too much money.

Comment:
The FX-8350 is a great product and not only performs well but performs well while being cheaper than competing products.Great for high performance gaming rigs and the like.

Replaced X4 965 BE on Asus M5A99X Evo board, noticeable difference.Newest edition of Nero can use 1 to 8 cores, useful.Bumped up ram to 32Gb, BD ripping and converting is amazing.My first proc was an 8088....how times have changed.

Comment:
well priced, get it, super fast,super reliable.

Comment:
Bought this CPU for a build for a friend, he's happy with it but again it doesnt perform as good as an i3.

Comment:
Managed to OC to 4.5 on all cores(CM 212 evo + Gigabyte 990FX UD3) i got this to replace my ageing fx8150! got under liquid cooling! i will push it harder after it bracks in!!

Comment:
This processor is near performance to the first gen i7 920, delivers 8 cores (actually 4 modules with SMT, sharing same resources)and comes to market at quite an attractive price point. It does however not compete with Intel's solutions, what AMD has done is tweaked their older Bulldozer FX8150 for lower power consumption allowing them to increase frequency. Even though performance per watt is not very good compared to their competitor's offerings, it is still a quite decent performer, you can see good performance with this processor, but you can see even better performance on Intel's i5 platform coming in near the same price point.

Comment:
Managed to OC to 4.6 (CM 212 evo + Gigabyte 990FX UD3) As owner of Intel 3770k (OC to 4.6), I honestly don't feel the difference between these 2 processors. Def recommended.

Comment:
Very powerful processor! i can play bf3 on ultra settings and simultaneously install other games, without any effect on fps. No freezes so far, and i didnt even OC it yet!
