So a good while ago i accidentally killed my fx-8350 due to overvoltage, and over the past almost year now, its just been setting in my closet doing nothing, what should i do with this? i like displaying things but i dont really know how to display a cpu as i usually nail things to my wall and im obviously not gonna nail my cpu to the wall, so any suggestions on what i should do with the old chip?

So my friend is bring around his old FX cpu to test it in my motherboard as his cpu had been acting up a lot before he upgraded, he's been looking to sell it hence why he wants to know if it works so i was wondering if there's any risk to my motherboard putting a potentially damaged CPU in my motherboard? -
Hey all, Well, I gave my old rig to my dad for use since I didn't need it any longer, I moved to a dorm and used my laptop for the past years and will continue to do so for the following two months. Some things came up and I blew my budget on a car so I'm looking to build a new PC on a tight budget. What I currently have: BenQ 24" LED Full HD monitor Keyboard & mouse Speakers and headphones WD Blue 1TB HDD (Data from old PC) WD Black 2TB HDD (New) Patriot Blaze 120GB SSD (New) Sapphire R9 270X 2GB GPU (from old PC) What I need: Well, everything else. I was thinking of getting an AMD FX 8370E CPU which is on a "get rid of stock" sale right now for 120e (usual price for it is 180-203e), for example an i3 6100 is 123e and an i5 6600k is 254e (double the price of the Fx 8370E). A GA-990X-Gaming SLI will set me back 94e, while a decent Z170 board will set me back 160e, even good H170 boards cost around 140e. To be honest the AMD combo would cost me a lot less and I could even fit a decent cooler into that price, it wouldn't need to be some expensive cooler since CPU is rated for a TDP of 95W. The PSU and case will be chosen later on. I'm asking if I should buy the FX 8370E CPU while it's still on such a good sale? I will probably update to an RX 470 later on but not at this point in time. This CPU will never be paired with high end GPUs in my system. While this will be a gaming rig, most games that I run work on my laptop (i3 4005u, 8GB RAM, 820m 1GB, ssd+hdd), except Overwatch and Battlefield 1 which I plan on buying once I build this. It will also be used for coding, graphics design, some rendering and a bit of 3D modeling. So this is supposed to be an allrounder on a budget. What do you guys think? If you want to check out pricing in Serbia visit Emmi.rs In order to get the price in Euro, take the price shown on site and divide by 123. You can compare the CPU and motherboard pricing there. Thanks

Hi, everyone! Recently, when I started playing Rainbow Six Siege after a few minutes, my computer would shut down. Just the computer, nothing else. I was confused and thought nothing serious was going on so I played again 20 minutes ago, and again, it shut down. It appears to shut down a few minutes into the actual game. I thought this was because of a power issue, so I was like "I'm gonna stress the sh*t out of my CPU and GPU" and I ran Prime 95 and Furmark at the same time for 10 minutes (Rainbow Six Siege shuts down about 3 minutes into the actual game). Computer works as normal, AMD's stock cooler rips my ears off but it's all good. Any Ideas? I forgot to mention, I initially thought it was the power supply's power delivery to the GPU so I turned on power effeciency off in crimson settings and disabled frame rate target control. Still did it. Then, I replaced my dual 8 pin cable with the other one that comes with the corsair RMX 650. Could it be because of the PSU's PSU cable? (The one that you plug into the wall and it delivers power to the PSU) or the PSU itself? Thank you for your time. One last thing, I haven't tested out any other games, but it never shut down while playing league of legends for over 3 hours and over an hour of m&b warband.

So i recently upgraded my PC to ryzen 5 from an FX system and now i'm looking to sell my old rig and was wondering how much i should be looking to sell it for. The components are: CPU: FX 8350 (hasn't been overclocked at all) Cooler: Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo RAM: 16GB Kingston HyperX Fury DDR3 Motherboard: Gigabyte GA 970 Gaming (only a few months old in comparison to the rest of the system) GPU: MSI GTX 960 4GB PSU: EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Case: Aerocool GT Advance White Edition The system doesn't have any drives as i put them in my new system. it's also just under 2 years old as i built in towards the end of 2015. I live in the UK so price in pounds please

Would i lose in any aspect if i change to the Ryzen R5 1600x from my current FX 8350, since the FX is an OCTA Core and the 1600x has 6 cores, would i come out losing performance in any way, or is it just a simple good upgrade ? im trying to come up with the answer myself, but i havent been able to come to a solid conclusion, so im asking. EDIT: maybe it should be obvious to me that theres no question, the upgrade is absolutely worth it, but no, i am not that sure to the point of buying it withou asking first.

I currently have a computer with an FX-6300 paired with 16GB of corsair vengeance RAM and an EVGA Geforce GTX 950 SC. I have been noticing some slowdowns as far as my games are concerned. When playing games like GTA V, I notice that my GPU is sitting right at 60% usage and my CPU is pegged. This leads me to believe that my FX6300 is bottlenecking my GTX950. What I am planning to do is in the next couple of months, upgrading my CPU to an AMD FX-9590 and overclocking it to 5GHZ, and pairing that with an H100i. Adding another 16GB of Corsair Vengeance ram (I do a lot of virtualization) and upgrading my EVGA Geforce GTX 950 SC 2GB to an EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti SC 4GB. I just wanted to know whether an FX9590 OC'd to 5GHz would bottleneck a 1050 TI. And I do not want to hear anything about Ryzen. I do not have the budget for that.

Hello, My friend just upgraded his CPU from an FX 4300 to an FX 8350 and he has perfrormance issues in PUBG, GTA V en BF1. The CPU is cooled by a Be Quiet Pure Rock and the CPU gets a max temperature of 60C when under load. His FPS in BF1 are 70FPS but randomly drops to 10 - 15 FPS, even on low settings, and in GTA V he gets 50FPS max with every kind of settings. He has updated his bios to the latest version. His Specs: CPU: AMD FX 8350 GPU: R7 370 4GB RAM: 2x4 Corsair Vengeance 1333 DDR3 MOBO: ASRock 970 Pro 3 R2.0

Hello, I just recently over clocked my and fx-6300 3.5ghz to 4.4ghz. I'm getting idle temps of around 22° on hwmonitor and various other CPU monitors. The temps only go up to around 25° when gaming. Is this normal for a stock cooler? CPU:FX-6300 GPU: MSI RX 480 MOBO: MSI 970 Gaming PSU: Thermaltake 650w

I need to update bio to support a new cpu for this board (fx-8120). My Gigabyte GA-880GA-UD3H REV 3.1 supports the fx processor but need an bios update. How do flash the updated bios with a no POST because of this reason? PC specs; Fx-8120 Gigabyte GA-880GA-UD3H REV 3.1 16 gb (2x8) ddr3 1866 Asus GTX 660 TI BFG 450 PSU I understand these arnt top specs parts but I am on a budget and the Veterans Affairs doesn't pay that much for my combat injures. So I do what I can with what skills I have. I have tried most if not all no post help pages to include running just one stick of ram, cpu/fans and psi hooked up to a screen.

Ahoy, I just built my first "budget rig". Currently for a mobo, I am using the ASUS M5A97, CPU, AMD FX-6300 Black Edition, 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz RAM, and I have 2 TOTALLY exact R5 230 Core Edition's, Basically I'm wondering if my CPU would bottleneck? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I have been messing around with my friends fx-8150 , we got stable at 4.5 ghz and 1.452 voltage (vcore). We reached a max temp of 61oC, we decided to take it one tick higher at 4.6 ghz. Same voltage and all, but now at 4.6 ghz, after 2 min of stress testing with "AIDA64 EXTREME" we got a hardware failure, temps only got to 59oC and nothing crashed. We suspect that it is the bus speed (200mhz), but we are unable to change it bus speed in bios. Specs: Video Card: Radeon (TM) RX 480 Graphics (8gb) (Clocked speed is 1350 mhz with memory on 2200) Processor: AMD FX(tm)-8150 Eight-Core Processor (4.5 ghz 1.452 voltage) Motherboard: Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 RAM: 2x Kingston HyperX Gen DDR3-1866 4 GB (Both are running at 1866)

I'm simply trying to understand what all the settings in my BIOS mean and if I've done this correctly. I currently have an AMD FX 6300 stable OC to 4.5 at 1.312 in BIOS, registering as 1.296 in Windows. The tutorials and such that i referenced always said to enable Load Line calibration, but in the BIOS for my Asus Sabertooth 990fx r2 there was no option for "enabled", there was regular-high-extreme or something like that. Another video i saw the guy set it to extreme but he had a Crosshair mobo, and I'm not aiming for ground breaking OC's so i set it to high. Currently under full load it will reach 51C on the socket and 49C on the core, if I'm reading HWMonitor correctly. I have a couple of questions. Firstly, what is Load Line and do i have it set up correctly? As i said, it runs perfectly stable and I've not experienced any crashes. Actually, i had it at 4.4 at 1.276 or something like that and got crashes and changed it to this, crashes went away. I also notice that my clock speeds will vary, they like to sit at 4514 but will flash up to 4622 or down to 4392 momentarily, it kinda makes me anxious but the vcore doesn't droop very much. Only down to 1.284 or so and only momentarily before going back up to 1.296 Secondly, from any other forum I've read on overclock results on FX, my temperatures appear to be incredibly low. 36 or so at idle, 51 at full load, and i only have an Asetek 550LC with Cooler Master Sickleflow fans in push-pull. These temps seem unreasonable to me, especially as HWMonitor will register the core as being at 18 or so at idle.

Sup Boys, As many of you aware, millions of people are heading into PUBG scratching their heads about their rigs and the capabilities of their hardware. Up to now, I haven't even remotely felt that my rig was under powered, as what only feels like a short time ago, I was happily running the gorgeous graphics of the Witcher 3. To repeat the title I have the following: Windows 10 (Updated frequently) running 1080p AMD FX-8150 Eight-Core Processor GA-970A-DS3 Motherboard ASUS HD 7950 DirectCU II Graphics Card 16GB Ripjaw Ram While I'm aware the optimisation of PUBG is lacking, to say the least, my graphics card and processor seem to only manage a measly 25 fps with frequent dips to around 15 or less! I'm happy to pay more money to upgrade the card if it's miles below par, in terms of what people are using now, but I'd love to know if it could be some other factors, i.e. set-up etc. I haven't yet delved into 'overclocking' these, as I really haven't felt the need. If anyone who is able to give me some cursory advice as to whether these frame rates are reasonable considering their age, or whether it could be something else, I'd greatly appreciate it. Even if the answer is simple, only top-dog PCs can run above 30fps with this game, chill, even that confirmation would be appreciated. I just can't imagine 4 million people having significantly better rigs than mine (not that mine is that amazing) happily playing with much higher framerates. Am I missing anything? Is this worth answering? Are these reasonable questions? TL;DR waah, -
So I was trying to find some information on people's experience overclocking the FX-8320 and I couldn't find much that wasn't years old which I guessed since it is a few years old now. Anyway, I was wondering what speeds and voltages and temps people this forum were achieving or if you had one in the past achieved. Any posts from 8350 or 9590 users is welcome to since they are the same chip just clocked higher. I run 4.7Ghz stable at 1.43 Volts tried to go higher but seems to be the limit for now, might try uping voltage a bit more than I'm conformable with just to see if I can push it more. I get around 52-54 degrees using my H100i under full load and 34 degrees at idle. (Although the FX chips are notorious for giving false readings below 40 degrees.)

Do you where can I find the Supreme FX control panel?? I don't want to unplug and plug my headphones every time I want to adjust the settings. Thanks!!

Right now I have the fx 8300 with 16gbs 2400 ddr3 ram and a 980 kingpin and I was wondering if it was worth my time to buy a ryzen 3 processor. How much would it bottleneck my 980 if all, and should I get ryzen 3 now and upgrade to ryzen 7 later or wait till I have enough for ryzen 7 right off the bat Thanks for your help in advance

I have several systems and I'm attempting to put the best of what is working together into two complete working gaming computers. One dedicated to pure gaming and the other to stream, video edit, and gaming. I do plan to build a brand new system late 2017/mid 2018. Items with *** are planned new parts. Upgrade One CPU - AMD FX 9590 Motherboard - ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 RAM - G.Skill Ripjaws Z 4x8GB DDR3 - 2400 *** GPU - ASUS GTX 960 2GB Case - CFI Pharaoh EVO Storage - 1 TB HDD PSU - 600 watt 80+ Display - 32 in Vizio TV Cooling - AIO 360mm Upgrade Two CPU - AMD FX 4100 Motherboard - Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 *** RAM - G.Skill Ripjaws Z 4x8GB DDR3 - 2400 *** GPU - ASUS GTX 960 2 GB Case - Thermaltake Commander MS 1 Storage - PSU - 600 watt 80+ Display - Old Dell monitor Cooling - Stock Heatsink Mistakes on current parts possible. Need to pull a lot out to see what I actually have. All parts outside of those marked "***" are used parts that have been untested...yet. I'm looking for future proofing the 9590 for another five years but plan to build a new Ryzen system for streaming, gaming and minor video editing and retiring the 4100 to general use only. I'm in the SE USA so it gets hot and humid. My budget is... I can set aside 100-200 a month if I push it. Any changes or other recommendations? EDIT - Looking for suggestions for every part. Owned, planned, or blank

So I'm a bit new to overclocking and a bit confused. I currently have my AMD FX 6300 at 4.6GHz, 1.32v, purely from the multiplier. But I've seen that overclocking via base FSB frequency is better? I tried overclocking via FSB once before to 4.4 I think, i started hitting some crash issues in some games but that may have been video drivers, I'm still not sure. But from that experience i know that i had to keep turning memory clocks and so on down to stay within reason. This is what confuses me, if I'm turning everything else down, are a CPU at 4.6 via FSB and a CPU at 4.6 via multiplier any different in performance?

Right, so this issue is confusing me to no end, Basically, I have an AMD FX8320 (please, I'm not really in the mood of jokes or patronising "SHOULD HAVE GONE INTEL HURR DURR" comments about it). I'm running a core multiplier of 19.5 right now due to this issue, Still getting 4.3 GHz so speed isn't really an issue for me. The issue I'm having is that the system will just randomly lock up, without warning, I'll just lose all sound and input and the screen will be frozen on an image (it happens at particularly inopportune times during CS:GO matches). The only way I've found to fix it it is to hit the hard reset button on my case which restarts the computer. Originally I thought it might have been the overclock I had on the CPU which had a multiplier of x21 and a slightly higher voltage than stock, I dialed it back to x20 after the first freeze and brought the voltage back to stock, giving me 4.4GHz and a nice stable system, never crashed at all during stress tests or benchmarking. But after playing some CS it just randomly locked up again. It didn't happen at all for the next week or so and just tonight at 2 of the worst times in a match (I was in a 1v1 clutch situation) the damn thing froze... after that I dialed the multiplier back to 19.5 and did a memory diagnostic which came back clear, chkdsk came back fine on both drives and moving CS:GO to my SSD instead of my HDD did nothing to solve the issue. I know it's not a thermal issue as I have a Noctua NHU-14S on the CPU with 2 intake fans and 1 exhaust fan to circulate air around it. The motherboard in question is an ASUS 970 Pro Gaming/Aura, I have 16GB of ADATA 1600MHz DDR3 and a Gigabyte GTX1050Ti OC. all of this is inside a Phanteks P400S case and being run of an Antec VP700P PSU (700W).

i recently download assassins creed 3 since it's free on uplay and i keep dropping frames. I run a 8350 and r9 fury so i don't really understand why i can't run it maxed out easily. I can run overwatch on epic and get 60fps+ so i don't understand why my PC would struggle with this

FX 8300 overclocking issues
Thatguywiththetoasterpc posted a topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Hey guys I just recently for my Watercooling setup and I'm trying to overclock my FX 8300 chip to 4.0ghz at 1.35v. but for some reason it underclocks to 2.9ghz?? even at 30 .C, I don't get what I'm doing wrong here. I'd just like to get a decent overclock going for gaming. My specs are: Asrock 970m pro3 AMD FX 8300 GTX 1050 ti sc DDR3 1600mhz ram 500w titanium rated psu -
I have had the computer I use today for the longer chunk of over 6 years. It was immensely powerful when it was new, rocking a brand new Radeon HD 6950 and Phenom II X4 CPU, but times have changed. I recently upgraded the forgotten HD 6950 with a brand new GTX 1060. Games started to perform better and I was happy. I knew that by purchasing this GPU I would experience bottlenecking in many games, which was okay since I didn't have a large library of games. I have now begun to be interested in many more higher end titles, which requires performance that I simply do not have. And here is why I have come to the LTT forums; Due to (Ry)Zen's release coming soon to the market, I was wondering whether to upgrade my old powerhouse of a Phenom to a newer Zen CPU, or if I should invest into an older Haswell i5. I have comprised a list of various pros/cons between the two, but I haven't truly decided which I consider to be more valuable. (Note: I am not very interested in overclocking at this moment in time) Haswell i5 Pros Strong single core performance Cheaper Does not require updated RAM/Motherboard Provides enough power to surpass playable framerates in new titles Cons Older Fewer 'Creature Comforts' Sub-$250 Zen Pros Newer Strong single core performance Cons Requires a new RAM/Motherboard (+~$200) ^Much more expensive I am assuming that with my current situation, I will gain the most price/performance by simply going with the older Haswell i5, but I would like to hear the communities opinion about what I should do. (Current Specs includes Gigabyte GeForce 1060 3GB, AMD Phenom II x4 975, and 8GB of DDR3 Dimms) Note: First post on forum :b I dont know "forum etiquette" quite yet.
