FX-8300 is a high-end CPU based on the 32nm Piledriver architecture.
It offers 8 Physical Cores (8 Logical), initially clocked at 3.3GHz, which may go up to 4.2GHz and 8MB of L3 Cache.
Among its many features, Turbo Core and Virtualization are activated and the clock multiplier is unlocked, meaning it can be overclocked easily.
The processor DOES NOT integrated any graphics. and has a rated board TDP of 95W.
Its performance is very good and sufficient for extreme gaming.

Only 38% better then phenom 965?? Wierd hehe
unreal CPU i oc 4.830ghz [benchmark rating 10850] :D 107eur
AMD Ryzen 5 1500X [benchmark rating 10870] -200eur
the obvious thing here is
amd upgrades arent really upgrades there improved by a tiny amount then sold for top prices
i paid £100 for my fx 8300 overclock @ 4.0ghz
oc 4.830ghz +power = cpu benchmark 11150 :)
i7-4790K cpu benchmark 11191
Is Sapphire Radeon RX460 2GB good for this cpu?
Yeah, but for frutureproofing I would go for a 4GB version.
Yeah that would be great, but im still confused choosing between palit gtx1050 stormx and rx460 for this cpu. What do you think is the best for fx8300?
Well, the GTX1050 is marginally better than RX460(max.5%) so it all comes down to manufacturer preference(Nvidia vs AMD) or price(RX460 is a bit cheaper). GTX1050 may have a bit better FPS in games.
thanks bro. But i think i found better than 1050 whch is RX550. What do you think. Do you have any suggetions or comments
Hi guys, I want to upgrade to this cpu since it is cheap for the Black friday special.
Will this cpu run fine with the MSI 970A-G46 mobo?
I know the 125W TDP processors have a problem with this board but this one is 95W same as the FX-6300.
Thanks
(I am not planning to overclock)
if you have any problems with a FX-6300 or higher, just turn off the turbo mode and enjoy it without problems
Is it worth an upgrade?
technically yes but i must to add few thing you are going to upgrade practically said to dead socket no upgrade path in future… cpu itself gives additional boost over your athlon x4 but only in games where are able to utulize more then 4 cores…so you will not get that boost overall so kind odd… my advice get something from intel if you really want more smoother gaming experience or wait zen
Actually due to the way this chip is designed you should have no problem of games not utilizing all 8 cores. The cores are paired off into modules and are used and seen by your system like a quad with 8 threads.
Did you guys mean only 4cores are working? Not octa?
4500MHz run nice and it can go to 4800MHz no problem :)
Can you give us little more info about voltage and temps

Is this normal? I have srock cooler.. Clean and oky thermal paste….when i dont play gta v temp is 40-50 temp…..when i play then 60-75 ?
Its not normal..set fan control 100% at 60 C in bios
turbo speed 4.2 ghz
ok i will buy this one for upgrade :)
I'd get a good aftermarket cooler (Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO for example) and overclock your CPU because you won't see that much of performance increase since games today use up to four threads (with the exceptions of course).
In my country this CPU costs about 50$ less than 8320 and about 100$ less than 8350 I see no reason not to buy it and it overclocks as a beast, I pushed it only to 20% OC but I tried it can go more.
