is this good? im trading my fx6300 for this cpu.
Building a gaming PC with spare parts for my girlfriend, I have this CPU, with 16GB RAM, now looking for a suitable graphics card any recs? Was looking at 680?
Intel Core i5 4440 @ 3.1 GHz win to an eight-core processor for 20%? something is bad here…
Nothing is bad …i5 has better single core performance …and when we say better its about 40-50% .
amd proc only 2 buy….1.fx6300
2.fx8350
fx 8300 best price ! -110eur
fx 6300 -100eur
fx 8350 -160eur
GD says my cpu is 9% better than this 8 core fx 8120
Mine is 23% whit 30% oc :D
It wouldn't be better if it let me put that I have the black edition ;)
I got it at 4Ghz whit phenom 965 stock cooler.
I put on 1.3500 valtage.
Sounds right, btw why phenom stock cooler, 8core fx have lot better stock coolers
Yea but i buy proc without cooler and i got that1 from phenom so i give him a try :) And he doing very good job.But im thinking to buy new cooler :)
Well no need for anything fancy if you do not plan some crazy OC
Yea i agree.But i wanna keep it quiet,stable and cooled :)
Im planing some cooler aroud 30-40 euro in my country :)
Has anyone overclocked this CPU and what is the safest you overclocked it to? as I was looking to upgrade to a 9370, but would overlclocking mine be better?
I cant say specific number of mhz, every chip is different, some can overclock more than another one
But if you stay under 1.5V on Vcore and under 65C when gaming, its ok to OC
Most of them can hit 4800MHz
Im at 4.1ghz and the performance is awesome
also on stock cooler
Thats good for stock cooler
Just look on temp when you game, as I said, stay under 65C and you are good
Should i buy this over the fx-6300 guys?
Will this bottleneck a 7870 XT? if no then what about 7870 in crossfire?
Thanks :D
I doubt it
Should I upgrade to this cpu ?
no you have better
