AMD FX 3.5 Ghz 95-Watt AM3+ Processor FD6300WMHKBOX

I've had this CPU for about 2-3 years now or longer I believe. I have a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo cooler on it overclocked to 4.5GHZ. Haven't had a single issue since I bought it. In my HAF 912 case while gaming it stays between 34-38 degrees Celsius. I do have 6 120 mm case fans in it connected to a NXZT Sentry fan controller. I keep them all around 60% speed. My motherboard is the Asrock 970 Extreme 4. Everything stays cool and runs great. I play on a 27 inch 144 hz 1080p monitor with a GTX 1070 and can still play any game I want maxed out at that resolution. When I first got it I had a GTX 650 TI Boost which aloud me to play demanding games such as Witcher 3, Fallout 4 at around High settings while keeping 50-60 fps. Went to the 1070 now which has aloud me to keep my 60 fps minimum but with having all settings maxed on all games I play. I have a Western Digital Black 500GB HDD and a Samsung Evo 256GB SSD. My ram is 1866mhz Corsair Vengence 8GB total, kit of 2x4GB. My power supply is the Corsair CX 750 watt bronze. Currently playing For Honor, Dark Souls 3, Dishonored 2, Overwatch, and many other games with this CPU/GPU combo and it plays great maxed out. If you're wanting a good low price CPU I would say this is still a great deal. With a 30 dollar CPU cooler and a descent motherboard you can easily overclocked this CPU to 4.2-4.8 GHZ or more and it performs really well and stays nice and cool. I would like one of the new Ryzen CPUs but as long as my FX6300 keeps performing so well I see no reason to upgrade. As for other activities I can't give any opinions as all I use it for is gaming. For gaming if you plan to play at 1080p or even 1440p with a good GPU this will do great. More and more games are using the full 6 cores which allows it to really shine. The stock speed of 3.5GHZ will do just fine but at a full 1GHZ overclock which you can get in 5 minutes it's a hell of a deal imo. Hope this helped. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Reasons why I bought it: This is the latest version of processor from AMD codenamed Vishera. It has new microarchitecture, which basically uses 32nm meaning it consumes less power than previous generation, and this is the best-bang-for-your-buck product compared to intel's processors. Also, it just works and paired with AMD's improvements (just read the product detail if you want to know more) made it quite tempting to buy on sale. In addition, I found no need to use an aftermarket cooler or a liquid cooler SO FAR lol, cooler provided by amd has no problems with overheating even on games maxed like gw2, sc2, sleeping dogs. I believe the max temperature for AMD FX series is about 60-65 degrees C, and mine is maxing at 35C. So, I think I'm good. Also, I want to point out that all Visheras are unlocked, which I believe means you can overclock it as high as you want if there's no heating problems. Package contains: 1) 1 processor (obviously) 2) 1 cpu fan (silent, blows air downward with gaps/fins in all 4 directions for heat to leave in all sides) with thermal paste already on it 3) 1 sticker 4) 1 small guide/information packet Requirements: 1) Make sure you have a mother board that supports fx processors, usually it'll be "AM3+ mother board" Comparisons: 1) Even though AMD's line of processors can't beat intel's higher end i7, I think the price for Visheras really makes it quite worth the money, but this can compete with intel's i5. 2)Comparing FX-6200 vs FX-6300: Both are 6-core processors but the fx-6300 is newest model with 10-15% increase in performance. Recommended to: If your a gamer, I've read a lot that six core isn't really necessary for gaming as of today (maybe in the future), and 4 core is more than enough for most. But if your also a semi-heavy multi-tasker, novice video/photo editors on a budget, I think this processor is a good product to consider or if you want something better, and want to stick with AMD you could go all out and get an 8350 along with a liquid cooler. I really want to comment on shipping even though it says your not suppose to, oh well Amazon can edit this out if they want. Everything arrived sooner than expected which was a good surprise, but I didn't know that it wasn't going to be packaged in a box to keep it safe, however, the cpu was unharmed,looked like it wasn't even touched. So if you're really worried about it getting damaged on the way, you can gift it so they'll put it in a nice safe box.

This was a huge upgrade for me since I was still using a PC I built almost ten years ago so as you can guess everything seems lightning fast with this cpu, I play videogames and tab out to browse the web without my computer choking, encode video, edit photos, etc. great processor for a great price. There was a slight problem where two of the pins were slightly bent in one of the corners so I was having trouble installing it until I inspected it closely, thankfully I was able to extremely carefully straighten them enough to fit it and there was no damage to the cpu. I'm not sure if it was bent during shipping since the box it comes in is very flimsy and was pretty beat up plus it comes bunched up with the fan, or if this was a quality control problem with AMD. Either way they should pack their cpus in sturdier boxes like before and not squeeze the fan next to them. Thankfully everything works fine, I paired this with a AMD graphics card and have been having a blast with my computer.

No te dejes engañar por lo que dicen las malas lenguas!!! Esta CPU aunque pertenece a una linea de CPUs que no ha acabado de labrarse un buen nombre no es ni mucho menos mala!! Lo cierto es que viene con unos voltajes de serie elevados y unas frecuencias relativamente bajas pero si lo afinas puede consumir mucho menos y sacarle mucho rendimiento. Ajustando frecuencias puede llegar a rendir como un Core i5 de tercera generación en todo menos en algunos escenarios determinados. Es cierto que su consumo se dispara pero eso es hacia los 4,6 Ghz con un OC bastante respetable y que no puede de tu a tu con lo mas nuevo de Intel pero no se puede olvidar su rango de precio y que la configuración de un sistema completo alrededor de esta CPU es mucho mas barato que uno equivalente para Intel. Estamos a 2017 y aun sigue siendo una buena opción aunque claro esta que se esta empezando a devaluar y solo vale en presupuestos ajustados. El rendimiento que ofrece o puede llegar a ofrecer es realmente bueno aunque no espectacular. Si tienes claro en que gamas te vas a desenvolver esta CPU te sorprenderá!! Si esperas un Core i7 de ultima generación evidentemente te defraudará! Si se cuenta con un presupuesto minimamente holgado es infinitamente mejor opción irse a los nuevos AMD Ryzen que tienen un rendimiento por nucleo del doble que con la arquitectura FX y compiten de tu a tu con Intel e incluso superan a esta. Así que recomiendo al 100% esta CPU o su hermano mayor el FX-8300 aunque solo para presupuestos ajustados!!

FX－4100から格安性能アップの為に購入交換しました。安い、早いを感じました。I社の製品への拘りが無くなりました。

This processor is a beast, it can handle most task thrown at it. It is a 3 module, 2 core per module so 6 core CPU with 1.2 billion transistors. Despite being technology from 2012, they are still in production and mine was 2017 made. This CPU is black edition CPU meaning you can easily overclock or even underclock it using unlocked multiplier in BIOS. It also has the latest instruction set like SSE 4.1, SSE 4.2, AVX etc. when this CPU was introduced it was for high end PCs, but now despite being 2012 technology this CPU still rocks and rivals many latest low (celeron, pentium, i3) to mid range (i5) CPUs and even beats older generation i7. This CPU easily beats the popular Pentium G4560 in performance. If you have a AM3+ motherboard and dont want to fully upgrade your PC then upgrading to this CPU is better choice then going to other AM3 socket phenom or athlon CPU which lacks instruction set like SSE4.2. latest CPU dont support Windows 7, only windows 10, so if you want to use Windows 7 and dont want to fully upgrade your PC, then this is best choice. Earlier I had a Athlon x260 and after upgrading I can see major performance improvement. If you want to use this CPU then visit the motherboard manufacture website to see the list of compatible CPUs, I have a Asus AM3+ motherboard. AM3+ is backward compatible with AM3 so there is high chances of you motherboard supporting both. The only problem with this CPU is that it overheats, this is due to high TDP of 95W & AMD Turbo Core technology which automatically overclocks the CPU giving 300mhz extra when needed, the max of this CPU is 3.5Ghz, under turbo core (boost) the speed goes upto 3.8Ghz, This causes heat. So to avoid overheating issue, its best to turn off turbo core feature in your BIOS. In winter time the CPU temperature remains cool about 10-12C on idle and 20-30C on loads like web browsing, watching video. I am using the stock heatsink and cooler and they are working fine, and I have disabled the turbo core. If you are getting a FX then get a CPU modal with 2nd number 3, like 4300, 6300. 2nd number 3 are the piledriver version of FX, which is a minor upgrade over the original FX codenamed bulldozer. I purchased this from Amazon global store for Rs. 4000 + Rs 1880 duty + Rs. 480 shipping, it cost me around Rs. 6400. if you can get this for under 6-7k then its a good deal, else look FX 4300 or get used CPU which are available under 3k. :) 👍😎

um bom processador vale apena investir.

3 ans après sa sortie, ce FX-6300 a toujours un superbe rapport qualité-prix. Il faut dire qu'avec les prix de détail pratiqués par Intel, AMD n'a pas trop d'efforts à faire: on est ici au niveau de performance brutes d'un Core i5-4430 3Ghz pour moins de la moitié du prix! Avec ses 6 cœurs (3 cœurs physiques de chacun 2 coeurs logiques pour être précis), il se prête bien à la petite virtualisation. J'ai monté récemment un serveur avec un Windows 7 et un linux virtualisés sous VirtualBox et ça tourne nickel, pour un budget contenu. Associé à une bonne carte graphique il peut aussi constituer une base solide pour une machine de CAO / retouche d'image / montage vidéo ou plus simplement un très bon PC bureautique. Alors c'est sur que son TDP de 95W n'est pas époustouflant, et que le ventirad fourni est une misère, on en trouve de très bons autour de 25 euros chez Arctic ou Zalmann. Pour résumer, un très bon choix pour ceux qui sont attentifs au rapport performances / prix.
