AMD FX-8120 or Phenom II x4 965 BE - Page 4

post #31 of 60
I dont know how it relates to programming code etc , but i use my FX-8120 for HD rendering & Special FX , Including Cinema 4D, After Effects CS5.5 etc and in these tasks the 8120 just eats them up no problem !

I also use it in games such as BF3, Crysis, Brink, Crysis 2 , NFS and have no issues with it at all, very smooth tbh in games. So id recommend FX, or if you can get a high end Phenom II x 6 they should be groovy too biggrin.gif

Well, a neighbor of mine is a programmer too, and he found that FX is slower than Phenom II when it comes to compiling. Granted he does programming primarily on C++.

Just an update, I just purchased a FX-8120 @ Fry's Electronics in Plano (I was in Dallas for the weekend).
338
After installation I overclocked to 3.6 just to see how well my H80 would handle it, here are the results. Drum Roll Please! (Click to show)
  • Idle: 28 C
  • Full Load: 46-50 C (Avg 47 C)
Compiling my projects is now twice to three times as fast easily, yet another happy FX-8120 owner smile.gif
