I think the FX series chips were a good start into new territory culminating in the Ryzen processor series. This chip is a great performer in the series, released in 2012, and makes a wonderful collectable. I put this in a new system for a PC showcase. It works as expected, runs at full speed consistently, and has no issues. Compared to Intel of the time these processors failed to deliver but this chip works similar to an i7-2600 (2011). An Intel system of this era would be a better choice for performance. I just like these AMD products from a historical perspective. The thermal limits are a low (65C if I remember correctly) so a good cooling solution is a must have with this product.

The processor with pins was taped in between a pair of folded note cards. And then put in a bubble wrapper. The pins were bent on a whole side when I got it. The processor took 45 minute of delicate work before it would seat in the socket. The bubble wrapper is of the most basic kind and provided limited protection. The addition of some foam or more careful covering would have prevented this pin damage. The part would have been unusable if I had an unsteady hand.

Unlike my FX 8320 that I had prior to this, and it has performed as I expected. Fit in a lot easier into the socket and unlike the old heat sink this one transfers heat a lot better.

great cpu. a now older but very reliable work horse for 8 core cpus. much better then the fx 8320 that I was using. I use it for high end video gaming. division 2, skyrim, assassins creed origins and odyssey as well. world of tanks,world of warships and war planes. I run all of them in maximum graphics setting with an NVIDIA 1050 ti running great.

Bought this as a small upgrade from my fx6300 along with a new gpu. Was planning to give the build to my girlfriend and start a new one. But with these upgrades I've found I can probably game for another couple years out of this setup. Would've given this 5 stars but since it was bought second hand and never used, the box and contents smelled strongly of cigarettes. It took a couple days for the smell to air out but it's working great and I have no other complaints. The seller even transferred the extended warranty for the CPU so that's really great.
