FX Cpu's

[tsm]

Fry's has a sweet deal on the Fx-6100 (http://www.frys.com/product/6820706?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG) making it only $10. I think it's just a lower clocked older version of the Fx-6300. Micro Center also has nice bundles (http://www.microcenter.com/site/products/amd_bundles.aspx) for FX series processors.

 

If I were to choose the Fx-6100, do you think I can oc a little bit on a cheap motherboard and stock cooler to make it a little faster? Or would I need a higher end mobo and cooler, which would make it cost as much as one of the bundles? Or if that's not a good idea what bundle should I consider?

 

I would like to game, and I've heard the Fx-8350 is the best out of the Fx processors for gaming? So should I buy that or I would be fine with Fx-6xxx, or maybe the 8370e/8320/8320e?

That deal is sweet...

Damn...

It's not just lower clocked than the 6300, it's somewhat weaker clock for clock and produces somewhat more heat. But for $10 it's still a decent chip.

10 dollars for a somewhat decent CPU? Yes please!

 

Overclocked it will game pretty well. It's the price that you really can't say no to.

9 dollars? Just buy 10 and sell them for double the price when the offer ends

10 bucks? Yeah, I guess it's decent. FREAKING GET ALL OF THEM & OVERCLOCK THEM TO DA MAX

+1 buy them then sell them, as for the motherboard, I would recommend the cheap MSI gaming 970
