fx 8370.... really AMD

Want to know what really grinds my gears....

 

I really have always liked and supported AMD (even tho I own a 4770hq on my laptop)

 

two weeks ago I purchased an 8350 and built an AMD desktop

 

then I looked at newegg today to see a 8370..............................................wtf

 

so, you may ask why this bothers me when I basically have to same core, or say just overclock your 8350 too the 4.3...

 

mainly because its stupid to resell the same damn cpu for 30 more dollars and allow it to overclock itsself well within warranty

 

here amd here is 30 bucks... can you send me a new cpu if I fry my hardware overclocking it now?

I may have had my head in the sand but I look at this stuff daily and just now came upon it by accident...

The power consumption on the 8370e BS isn't any lower under load so it's not going to save your board's vrm from throttling. I don't understand why people buy those CPU's if they require an expensive board to run flawless that usually just ends up costing more than an Intel setup.

Why didn't you buy the 8320 then?

8320 is piledriver?

yeah I fixed that, plus I seen they recommend 970 chipset? that confuses me lol, I have the 990fxa-ud3 gigabyte

With that logic wouldn't you be even more mad at Intel?

yes... maybe.. no.. idk... lol I have two ways of understanding what this means so idk how to answer... lol

990 chipset is better than 970 !

just because 970 is recommended doesnot mean that 990 or lower chipset will not work at all !

990fxa-ud3 is great motherboard and will work totally fine with FX8350.

It's a matter of binning.

 

I've had both an 8370 and 8350 and the former overclocks much much better.  Although I suppose that could just be the silicon lottery.

 

Could be worse, they could not let you overclock at all unless you buy the higher end model.

It is slightly more effective, it requires the same wattage but with a higher clock.

He said that the "3" in FX83XX signifies that it is piledriver architecture.

8320 has Piledriver archecture .

That is true, it just is crazy how they are like here is our same 8350, overclocked by us so its covered, how about let us just buy a overclocking warranty or something?

ohhhhhhhh I just looked back and saw your 3s sry :/

so its not overclocked 8350 or just an improvement? what is it they improve?

Why didn't you buy the 8320 then?

for some reason I though 8150 when I saw this, I probably need to go to bed lol

Since Bulldozer (Zambezi/Vishera) launched, Intel released Sandy, Sandy-E, Ivy, Ivy-E, Haswell, Haswell-E and Broadwell. Whilst AMD released the same architecture. 

No, I don't think it's the same thing.

has LTT done a review on the 8370 and Es? I guess I may either be confused on this or there is just too much mis info on these cpus

The power requirement, It doesnt need as much wattage to reach the same core clock, Thats why the clock is bumped up a bit.

how do I ask to see if its a good idea or make a request???????? or should I study and post a video for him with me reviewing it (in my a lot less unimpressive manner) :P :P

so they keep rolling out slightly more improved versions? I feel like I should go get my money back... especially since I dont over clock

Yup. But It is aimed for people who dont overclock.

If you would overclock it and have a good overclocking motherboard+cooler, It would not matter much between getting the 8320 and the 8370.

That is a pretty good overlocking motherboard, What cpu cooler do you have? Id recommend atleast a Coolermaster 212 EVO.

Keep at the highest 60-70 degrees C and you're good.

Here is a guide to overclocking, It should be similar to overclocking the 8350.

I have an EVO actually :P but I think I mounted the wrong noctua fan on it :/... I put an NF12 in push, should I put if in pull and add the EVO stock in push?

Intel has more CPUs in their lineup that are just clock speed variants of their other chips... what's the big issue here?

its .1 more ghz with 30 more bucks while covered by factory.... why cant I just throw amd money and say hey just cover my exact CPU for this amount of overclock or in general or something... it just seems redundant and unless a buyer looks stupidly hard to find the releases for these slight factory variants how would one know? this literally showed up on newegg right after I got the 8350. not to mention they don't say why or how this is achieved I have seen tons of mis info about these... and that includes intel too on the as well if thats the case.

Both Intel and amd have been doing this for years... It's nothing new. Also the 8370 has been out for quite awhile now since September 2014

If you want to be outraged by something be outraged by the FX-9's. $70 for an OC binning.

Intel may be just as guilty of bin-price points, but they didn't charge +$70 for Devil's Canyon chips :lol: + there was an actual physical difference in the chips (the TIM).
