FX-83** Owners club - Discussion & overclocking

Huh....that explains why that nice shiny copper surface I once had has become dulled and scratched up. Who knew. :|

 

thats the thing. its not much better than other stuff. actually PK-3, gelid gc-extreme are better without scratching stuff up

just got the Thermaltake water 2.0 Pro.... Above settings idles below 15c. Full load gets up to 40c core temp max!

 

Just curious... How noisy is the stock fan?

 

I didn't use it, but I've heard good things as long as you run the processor at stock.

 

From the reviews I've seen the stock fans on the TT Water Pro are quieter than on Antec's version. I switched my stock fans out for Scythe GT's almost immediately. I found the stock antec fans to be quite loud at high RPM. Mind you they do as as high as 3000, so it's to be expected.

On a side note...I was inspecting my cpu water block. There's a decent amount of damage to the surface (scratches). Would this cause increased temperatures? Would applying more TIM help in this case?

 

It won't do much unless the scratches are really bad. Not worth worrying about.

 

First game optimized for the FX is crysis3 really nice to be ahead of Intel googled and lots of web site saying the same looking forward to future game ports when next gen 8 core consoles are out

Yeah, it's nice to see it competing so well.

 

FX 8350 Kick Ballz!

damn removed, didn't see you guys already post this!

 

It needed another 0.5GHz to pass the 3770k by a couple of frames but compared to AMDs recent offerings its very welcome. Clocked to 4.5GHz+ and its a very nice performer.

 

Very nice, and smack smack i5! Its great to see the AMD FX micro architecture being put to more and more use. This is the direction the industry is going - multi-threading. We will only see more and more of this type of thing going forward.

Its too bad they didn't include any Bulldozer chips in this test. I bet they would be right in the mix, not too far behind their younger cousin.

 

the fx only has the lead in the welcome to the jungle bench which was the only one posted here. here are 3 different benchmarks including welcome to the jungle

Back again...did I miss anything?

 

where ya been bro?

 

he finally found the internet porn, stuck in his fap cave.

 

Busy IRL...cleaning up our rental house so we can get new tenants, left my old job so now looking for a new one - preparing my resume etc....just stuff.

Not to mention some new drugs that made me a bit loopy for a while.....

 

I see you got your RAM back, nice. I just got my SSD replacement. Life is good again.

 

so how does this cpu compare to intel 2600 when running emulation programs?


back when I had my 1090t, it had trouble running them at decent speeds.

 

Probably not too well, emulation heavily depends on IPC performance. FX does support AVX though, so it's possibly a bit faster than Phenom 2.
