fx 8350 vs 4670k

[linus7]

for gaming and editing 
going to air cool it with NH- D14

[ANUPLUCIFERGAMER]

They are pretty equal in gaming right now but the 8350 will pull ahead with some of the newer titles coming out that use more threads in the CPU. It's also much better for editing.

get a 8320 and OC it, you will get the same/almost the same OC with a 8320 than with a 8350.

 

only difference between the 8320 and the 8350 is that the 8320 coudnt reach 4.0 GHz at the wattage that they put as the 'benchmark', so it may use 5 watts more at that GHz than a 8350

What he said the 8350 is just a more efficient 8320. it just means that it wont stay within there TDP of 125W at the socket when running at 4.0ghz but there's nothing stopping you OCing the 8320 to 8350 speeds.

It's more like 40W, but yes, this.

If you're don't need the high clocks or extra bit of cpu power, get the 8320 and save some money.

thank you all 

but i dont have the 8320 here in the store so i will just get the 8350

i saw a 9370 is it worth it over a 8350?

and is the http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/SABERTOOTH_990FX_R20/#overview a good motherbored for the 8350?

[Apach3]

since you mentioned video editing, i say go for the FX-8350. only get the 4670K if you'll be doing way more gaming than video editing.

Where are you shopping?

 

No, the 9370 isn't worth it unless it's not much more.

The Sabertooth is good but really only worth it if you're doing a custom cooling loop and pushing high clocks.

well i will game more then edit so should i get 4670k?

The 9370 is only worth it when you concider that it comes with a 120mm liquid cooler. But in markets where the 8350 is $170ish then the 9370 becomes less of a good deal.

 

And yeah that's a great motherboard

ok so 9370 is out of the picture 

the asus is the only fx motherboard i have here 

and whats the difference between the 4670k and 8350 if you just do gaming?

4670K is claimed to be a bit more powerful when your doing some video editing but on the other hand all the new games that are coming out take advantage of all 8 of the FX-8350's cores and seems the 4670K is a quad core it looses out there.

 

IMO that board is ripe for over clocking and with an 8350 you can get them to 4.5Ghz with ease. (i have the exact mobo + CPU and i am sitting at 5Ghz)

Watch this. It should give you a rough idea.

 

Again, where are you shopping?

[Altecice]

huh?

Edited

 

the 4670k is just a quadcore.

 

VS

 

FX-8350 is a true 8Core CPU (some people say not so but it really is) so in terms of new games that use all the cores the 8 core will beat 4 cores.

Just like to point out on this point, the FX-8350 has 8 interger processors (Video rendering uses these) and 4 FPUs (Games use these) so for video rendering the 8350/9590 destroys nearly anything minus the 6 core $1000 4960x (http://images.hardwarecanucks.com/image//skymtl/CPU/FX-9590/FX-9590-41.jpg), for gaming due to the fact it has 4 FPUs it means that it's as fast as a quad-core but has the advantage that the game can still use all 8 cores, it just means theres a delay between when each CPU can use the FPU,  and therefore is the reason why it only really gets up to speed of a 4770k

can i diry overclock to 5.0ghz just to see if its stable? 

what voltage should i use? 1.25v? 1.20v?

thanks this make me want to go for the 8350

and i will grab that mobo since i want to get to 5ghz

For most games there isn't a great deal of difference at all. But in games that need strong single thread performance the intel will win, in newer games the utilize more CPU threads the amd will win.

well i just saw the tek syndicate video you are right  

 

Also the i7 4770k (which is a hyperthreaded quad core) crushes an 8350 in most tasks

i wanted to get 4770k but its just too much so i will settle for an overclocked 8350

[Altecice]

I use 1.464V to get it there, I don't keep it at 5Ghz 24/7 i have it sitting at 4.8. plenty fast enough.

 

Also its a Silicone lottery if your chip is up to the task of Overclocking, some OC well some don't. its just luck.

 

There are also no golden voltages for everyone you need to test it yourself as your CPU will be different from mine.

is there a test overclock for amd chips ?

like for intel its 4.6 all cores on 1.20V(just to test the chip)

[Altecice]

Before you go any further look on youtube/Google for some 8350 OC guides. the stock voltage of the 8350 is 1.35V to start with

But the "test" to test an OC is prime95 for up to 24Hours

thanks do you think the NH-D14 can reach 5ghz? i heard its only possible with water cooling

[Altecice]

yeah 5ghz is Water only i would say to cope with the heat and TDP it needs to cool.

[linus7]

but 4.8ghz will do for d14?

[Altecice]

im on water for my 4.8 and its at 31c idle and can pop to 66 on full load. so no id say 4.5 or lower is achievable on air, all depends on your chip though

can i auto overclock? through the motherboard ?is 

is it a good idea?

[Altecice]

always ALWAYS do the OC youself. Software isisnt very good at it.
