Its a wonderful economic 8 core processor. For raw individual core output its a monster. However, its energy hungry, and while thermally its a great improvement over its predecessors,one should still keep that in mind. Allot of AM3+ Socket Type MB will simply not support this chip. Check with your Motherboards supported CPU lisin to be sur;

Bought this in the PIB form with CPU heat sink and fan. It worked great to replace my Phenom X6 1100t..but no real performance increase was noticeable. It died only after 2 months of normal help desk use. Never overclocked and used the supplied heat-sink and fan. Went to start my PC and it went to the ASRock splash screen and wouldn't post. Couldn't access the bios or nothing. Put the Phenom back in and was back in business. Really losing Faith in AMD!

Good product, If you are looking for a strong amount of multitasking and multithreading this is the processor for you. If you are trying to decide between the Intel and amd processor's and chips. I will say that overall the i5 is better for gaming however for applications, and for general start up and multitasking this processor takes the i5 easily. If you do purchase this fine processor, make sure that you change out the heat sink. The one that it comes with feels cheap and while the copper piping makes it look cool i wouldn't say that it is effective, at cooling or sound reduction.. For the techies, I was able to compress 8GB of files into 6GB of files in around 2 minutes. In comparison with my laptops i7 first gen with 8min's id say it is pretty good. With around 1gb of video memory (noncrossfired) its pulling well over 100fps on league of legends. This will be an excellent edition to any PC and with overclocking boosting even great performance.. Make sure you have water cooling!Read full review
Upgrading from a phenom x4 965 to the FX 8350 makes life much, much easier. I do lots of video encoding, photo editing, and gaming with this CPU and have had no hiccups whatsoever. With the mobo, I wish the SATA was faster and as personal preference I would wish I could run dual GPUs, but what can I expect with a smaller form factor board. So, performance-wise, I give this combo an 8.5 out of 10 just simply because the price is right and it can handle most things you throw at it easily. On one more point of mention, in terms of heat, my system idles at 17c for CPU and 25-35c for mobo. Under load the highest temp I've seen the cpu hit is 45c. For cooling I'm using coolermaster evo on my cpu, one front and one rear fan (120mm) and 2 case fans (140mm) on top. Cant beat this performance at this price, not to mention manufacturer warranties.Read full review

I used this chip to replace my aging 4170 quad AMD CPU that was having trouble (bent pins). This was a strait swap with Win 10 giving me no troubles about the change. The supplied stock cooler works fine. My system is stock and not overclocked. System; Gigabyte 990 FXA UD3 AMD 8350 8 core 1060 GTX Video card 16 GB ram Win 10 64bit
