Any AMD FX CPU Users?

[Singtel_Sim]

Hi! Would like to know hows your view on the Vishera CPU? Is the performance OK for gaming? I don't expect it to be as fast as i5/i7 but is it decent if OC to 5GHz. Cause I am think of getting the 9590 and oc it to 5GHz.

Thanks.

Bro I use an fx... honestly if u game just stick to intel

Just get a normal i5

Too hot and require too much juice to run..

You would probably need a good cooler to tame it. 9590 is quite power hungry. Although im using the fx6300. Its able to oc decently to a 4.4ghz. Synthetic benchmarks like cinebench and others shows a bit of a downside over the previous gen i5. But in gaming performance, there isnt much.

1) Crap power hungry and locally expensive CPU

2) Good for gaming, poor value for your money

3) It's decent if you OC, provided you like living next to a nuclear reactor

4) Really? That's just

Yes, using FX8350. No complaints. For FX9590, cooling recommend is a watercooling kit. Plus a good amount of power/watt consumption. FYI. FX9590 is clocked at 4.7Ghz and 5Ghz overdrive.

I'm running a FX-9350 @ 4400GHz, haven't tried to overclock it seriously yet. It's stable and fast enough for me right now, though I have to say I never play any games on it.

using FX8320 and it OC very well.

no problem with running high end games and doing work with my simulation programs.

love the value of this cpu cos i bought it cheap from amazon.

how much power does that thing take at 4.4THz?

No idea. Just check some reviews, they will tell you. Most of the time it's idling at 1400MHz during work anyway.

get the 8350 instead...value for $$$

You don't realise your typo...

On 8350 stock. Very happy with it. No plans to oc for now.

 

[Ysatis]

wont notice the difference

Good to know there are still people with a good taste.

Hoho, I was an AMD fan since Slot-A K7 days.... Still remember soldering resistors to change multipler.....lol....

I don't suppose there are many retailers selling AMD CPU nowadays all switched to Intel.
