AMD FD8370FRHKBOX FX-8370 Black Edition 8 Core CPU Processor AM3+ 4300Mhz 125W 16MB

Good CPU
Hello everyone, I found this on a nice price and I got it, I tested it with a Hyper 212 EVO, I’ve got nice temperatures with that cooling system, I’ve seen temperatures between 40-60 °C, that’s a nice interval of temperatures, taking into account that I live in a city with an average temperature of 30°C. I never used OEM cooling system and I can’t say something about its performance.performance of this CPU has been good on a year of usage, I have gotten stuttering just a few times, playing games offers you a good performance and when you’re rendering videos does it fine, I’ve done it recently and It doesn’t take much time doing it.Price-performance relation is very nice, I’ve been using it with demanding games and programs and It has worked very well, I’ve been using it with Windows 10 Home Edition and this CPU has taken it well, I think it would work excellent on Linux distributions but I haven’t tried yet.I felt very fine working with it ,I recommend this CPU for gaming, I can’t be 100% sure about recommending it for video editing because I haven’t ever done it until some days ago, have a nice day.

Runs very well. Can have several processes open and still run CPU intensive games. OC’s very well if that’s your thing.
I’ve always been an AMD CPU guy, with occasionally having used Intel CPU’s here and there for particular purposes, but I always like to use AMD’s for desktop builds. One, because let’s be honest, AMD is cheaper by a longshot over their Intel competition. Two, because I know that my AMD CPU isn’t going to melt at the first time the CPU gets “too hot”. While it is well know that AMD CPU’s do run hotter and they use more base power than Intel, it’s made up for far in fact that AMD CPU’s are better designed to handle multiple applications being run simultaneously and AMD CPU’s were better built for 3D applications first.Having said that, the 8370 is based on the 9000 series architecture but at a lower wattage and lower overall speed. Granted, you can definitely overclock this particular CPU around 5GHz stable (only on liquid cooling), but why shorten the lifespan of your CPU when AMD offers CPU’s that have base clock speeds of 5GHz out of the box (even if they’re higher wattage). It should be noted that this particular CPU also holds the world speed record at over 8GHz (on a liquid nitrogen vapor system). I did play around with overclocking this chip a couple times and was able to get a stable 4.5GHz that while I was happy with, decided to not keep and put it back to stock clocks. For whatever particular reason, I got an 8370 that stock clocks at 4.1Ghz instead of the base 4.0, and I’m fine with that.Benchmarking….forget it. Benchmarks are so skewed that it’s not even worth trying to “match up” to the competition on how well the chip does. 90% of the Benchmarks of the competitor chip (Intel) are overclock by 1Ghz or even saw some as high as 1.5Ghz over their base clock to get those higher scores. And, not that one would do it, but if you turn off the HT (Hyper Threading) of an Intel chip…it’ll fall flat on its face. Intel needs HT in order to bring you the other “cores” in a virtual mode to bring you that performance. While Intel has since released “true” hexacore CPU’s in these last few months, the price tag alone is enough to make those CPU’s only worthwhile to true enthusiasts (those CPUs run around 1200 bucks to start). So what if your AMD doesn’t benchmark as high as the false benchmarked Intel’s on the market…it doesn’t matter as long as you know that you can open 30 processes and still be able to do something without jittery screen, and still play your favorite CPU extensive game without bogging down the processor.

Perfecto micro. Comprado para poder usar otros componentes y darle nueva vida a mi pc. La multitarea le saca todo su potencial, es calentón, pero le sirve muchísimo el disipador Wraith que trae, aunque hay que ser cuidadosos con el tamaño puesto que en placas base micro atx puede llegar a quedar sobre las memorias RAM o de plano no caber. Silencioso, aunque por la misma potencia siempre oirás el flujo de aire. Probado en juegos con una GTX1050 y siempre arriba de 60 FPS, entre 60 y 120 (a 1080p).

Works fine even on my ancient 7 y.o. Sabertooth 990FX R1.0 mobo (after BIOS upgrade, of course). Overclocks to 4.5 GHz, all cores, Prime95 8-thread stable for at least 1 day and keeps under 80C, even with the stock Wraith cooler (quite good as well but not great; not a waterblock or a 14 cm supercooler). No explicit voltage adjustments were applied (although did have to up the LLC setting to achieve full stability). Bottom line: well exceeded my expectations. Too bad it’s not 2013 now, when it would have been plain spectacular.

Sono passato da un 6 core bulldozer quindi prima gen a questo 8 core, più per sfizio pensando che tanto le differenze non le avrei viste, mi sono dovuto ricredere, tempo di avvii,fps in game etc migliorati di parecchio, se volete fare la spesa e non volete assolutamente cambiare scheda madre potrebbe fare al caso vostro, il dissipatore non l’ho usato perché ne avevo uno mio, le temperature con il mio dissipatore non si sono alzate di molto, ma non ho fatto oveclock
