This CPU can be very fast but requires a good cooling to not run too hot. As its made on a smaller 32nm process it only needs tiny bumps in vcore voltages to run At higher frequency. I got mine running at 4.3 GHz with quite a minimum effort on Gigabyte 990GA motherboard, used vcore of 1.35, also slightly raised NB and LLC voltages. Performance have caused all my games to run very smoothly and fluidly. Its one heck of a CPU at dirt cheap price. Mine was only $100 and I don't think you can get a better value per dollar then this. I upgraded from thuban 1090t hexacore and it made quite a difference. If you are on the fence about buying this - don't be. Just get it.

Just grab an FX 6300 and overclock it. No noticeable difference seen here. Assassin's Creed, GTA V, no FPS boost, can't even turn up the settings. Nearly identical performance, even on better cooling. Don't waste your money.

I have bought 3 of these CPU's so far and they perform great you can overclock these CPU's very easily for great Gaming Performance just add a nice Graphics Card and your good to go. The stock heatsink fan works but I would get a 120mm air cooler or water cooler and you can keep them cool at over 4.00 GHZ with no problems. My Setup runs at 4.20 Ghz and never had any problems no voltage change to the CPU or nothing just change the CPU multiplier higher in the BIOS. These are great CPU's for the price and you can get them to run right at what the (FX 9570 4.4Ghz) starts at for about around 100$ cheaper with a custom cooler. For the extra cost to get the FX9570 or FX9590 I like to get the FX8320 and spend the extra cash on a good CPU Cooler for all around the same price as the FX 9000 Series CPU's but that's just me. I have 2 Desktops running these same CPU's flawlessly. I really can't say I won't be purchasing any more of these in the future cause it runs great.Read full review

I bought this product to build a new work and gaming rig. What I like about this CPU is its capability to run beyond the rate clock and the price is cheap. With adequate cooling system and a decent motherboard I was able to take this CPU to 4.5 Ghz. The only negative about this CPU is that it run very hot, but can always use Cool n' quiet features to reduce the power consumption. I have been using AMD for years, my last 3 system were built with AMD CPUs, this time around I was consider to switch to Intel. But after review the budget, I have change my mind and decide to get AMD instead.
Excellent CPU...for a reasonable price... Very fast and reliable... It is an open CPU but no need to over clock.. 8320s will run most games paired with a decent Graphics card... I have used these CPUs over the past several years..never had one fail..

Very good CPU. It seems to do a great job with everyday tasks and due to having eight cores, it even does a good job hard tasks like with video encoding. This processor is not as good as say an i7 from Intel but its certainly one of the best value processors (i my opinion) on the market. The only Con with this processor is the stock cooler is quite loud and you can't overclock it to the FX-8350 speed on the stock cooler even though both processors use the same cooler. Still a great CPU though.
An old PC was still running an ancient AMD X3 processor and this was the best upgrade the BIOS would accept. It was installed easily and the PC's performance was immediately better. OK, it's not up to today's standards, but that was not to be expected. It does what I wanted, make the old machine run a bit faster.

I will keep this narrative short, and simple by saying that this processor has just been fantastic...it has not only, but has totally exceeded all of my expectations!

The AMD fx 8320 is a very reliable processor. Is quick and runs cool at the same time. With it overclock capabilities can easily be as fast as the higher priced 8350 and 8370. The benefit of this processor is that it can be overclocked with very little voltage increase which helps it run cooler and extend the life of the processor. I would definitely recommend this processor for budget builds as well as the extreme gamer.

I was using an FX-6100 and just didn't seem to be getting the performance out of my computer that I felt I should and the only part I couldn't be sure about was the CPU. I put in the FX-8320 and now my computer is playing most games on the highest settings. This is hands down the best CPU for the money around. The amount of power for the price is just unbeatable. Using a Zalman 135mm cooler I have never seen the temps on this go above 40c even when running the latest games on the highest settings for long periods. Seriously, buy this, it will not let you down.
