AMD FX-8350 8-Core Processor 4.0GHz Socket AM3+ FD8350FRHKBOX

Speed and Price Optimized

A review on: AMD FX-8350 8-Core Processor 4.0GHz Socket AM3+ FD8350FRHKBOX
by speedytech7

Pros: Technically 8-core, 4.0Ghz base clock, lots of cache, AM3+ socket

Cons: overclocking is heat limited very quickly

The AMD FX-8350 is a very fast processor and handles my video rendering with ease, even at stock clocks. However, to really see the benefit of it you must have programs that use all eight cores (threads if you are using Windows). Adobe After Effects and Sony Vegas both love this processor's extra capabilities and utilize it to its full potential. Single core performance is still quite...

“Decided to switch to a 3770k from a 2500k when I found a deal for $220 from a fellow OCN member. It is a delidled chip and I personally sanded (or polished) the aluminum plate on top of the cpu die and also the side that has contact with the CPU die itself with a 1500 grit sand paper. Temps with an EVO cooler has been excellent. ON STOCK settings IDLE temps are around low 20s and Highest temp...” --akbisw

“This by far the best bang for your buck when looking to build a gaming Rig. If you put the money into an aftermarket heatsink and OC you will not need a new CPU for many many years. This thing is simply a beast” --DarkChaos205

“I enjoyed my i7 930 I got into the 1366 right around the time the super golden 920's were fading and I was hoping there would be a few 930 chips on that level. There were, but mine wasn't one of them. I got a decent clock on it and the process was both a learning experience and entertaining. These days with the unlocked multipliers overclocking has become a lot more simplified. I think messing...” --Robitussin

“Basically that's all I need from a CPU-a power house that will be handy when I need it. Besides the price, I have dysfunctional GPUs in my system (stupid seller doesn't want to replace them) and when they ain't working properly I have to shut down the whole shebang and can't use it for a while since there's no on-board GPU. Well, it's these 2 extra cores instead of the onboard GPU so I think...” --dominox64

“ Loving this guy. I traded in my AMD 955 BE @ 4.0 in for the i5 2500k. Its a nice little boost in performance, take into account the price you can get them for its pretty nice. OC's VERY high. Hit 4.7Ghz EASY! For years I have only done AMD based builds due to price point, but am glad to say that my first experience with intel in years looks to be a great one! I would recommend this CPU to...” --KhaoticKomputing
