CPU help

[AngelAriel]

Alright, so i got a closed loop cpu water cooler for amd mobo's. Anyway i have the amd a8-6500 cpu and i'd like to upgrade to an fx-8350. But would i even notice a difference ?? 

some people say that you'd only notice when its using all its cores ? when is it using all its cores ? can you make it so it's using all of them?

 

or should i get an i5

The 8350 is much faster than an A8, but you're in the boat that if you want to upgrade to an FX processor you'd need a new motherboard too. If you don't mind spending the money I would recommend an i5 instead.

Yes you would be seeing a big difference. And if you want to spend a little more get an i5 4690k.

The problem is my liquid cooler is for amd only/ i was stupid accadently through out the intel brackets. Anyway so i'd like to stick with amd cpu's so i can keep using the 80 $ cpu cooler

how much better is the a10 then mine

If you get an i5 you need another motherboard but if you get and 8350 you also need a new motherboard too unless the motherboard you have currently supports the 8350.

Moving from a a8-6500 to a8350 will be a major improvement. The CPU is set to use all the cores by default, what they, whom ever they are, when they said "you will only notice when using all cores" is that the extra four cores is what will make the difference which is an understandable view from someone who is not really a techie.

You can can always replace the intel brackets.

so the fx-8350 is constantly using all 8 cores ?
