FX-8320 Is the Best Still?

[Jnester]

Fx-8320 is proven the best Oc and holds the record on benchmarks!

I don't believe that has been true in a long time. Recommending that CPU today is suggesting wasting money.

The best ever?
Show me when it was 'the best' once...

OC numbers mean little in comparison to actual performance.

If you want to do some solid overclocking go for the FX-9590. Oh god, remember having 6GHz on that. :lol:
But seriously, don't waste your money on FX's, much more affordable to go with an Intel-K Edition, as they are actually meant for overclocking.

Not unless you are going to run a liquid nitrogen set up. If so, that chip will still no longer hold any world records. The fx is a dying platform. Either go Ryzen or something from Intel. No one is going to reccomend the CPU you suggested.

A 9590?
Might as well just do this:

No wonder I never get presents from Grandma anymore.

I have had a 8320 OC'ed to 4.5 on a H100i for almost 3 year now without issue. Even with a full 1 GHz over normal stock (not including boot) that chip still never came close to the intel's of 3 year ago. I just bought it because i needed better and a CPU, Mobo, SSD, Water Cooler, RAM, and PSU cost me the same as a i5 + Good Motherboard at the time. It is still great to me to this day as I don't game as much anymore so no need for more power.

Thank you! I needed a good giggle this morning

Haha, exactly :lol:

It holds record on Benchmark with Fire Strike of over 8GHZ!Look it up on Fire Strike~

Mind linking to a specific result? Instead of making us look around.

And 8GHz? I'm assuming this is the OC for the CPU?
For how long? Doing that for 3 minutes on LN2 is absolutely meaningless, except for epeen waving.

yea you do realize it was ONLY running 1 core NOT all 8 so that is pointless. 1 8GHZ core is not more powerful than 8 3.5 GHZ cores.

FX was never better than intel ever (At least not against their i5's and up) and defiantly not a good buy today. I mean for a cheap build sure but you need good cooling for the FX CPU's though. My H110i playing games has a hard time keeping my 4.5Ghz Overclocked on all 8 cores cool even idle anymore.

 

[Jnester]

To all you haters that said the FX-8320 didnt hold it!!

[Jnester]

And if you read article,The closest intel has got is 7 ghz!

 

[BFG-9000]

I don't see what's so impressive about 8GHz, Intel beat that 10 years ago:

That's 6 years before there was a Firestrike, and even before DX11. But if the object is to do less work in tinier steps faster, the P4 beats the Piledriver by a mile.

 

[sizzling]

You realise Ghz is a meaningless number on its own. Even with a massive overclock the FX series are destroyed in performance terms by Ryzen and most modern Intels. In a lot of tasks even the basic cheap G4560 keeps up or beats a FX8350.

I run a i7-7700 myself for my gaming with 1060,,and it runs Witcher 3 at High settings at over 200 fps..and CPU with EVO 212,,and it never gets after 6 hours straight playing over 60c !Im a Intel man after this but the Ghz i read on The x-8320 o thought would be a good topic,,,!!OS Windows 10,,16gb 2400Mhz.On a Asus Prime Plus Board.I think you cant get much better for 1200 Dollars!

OMG thanks for that laugh I needed that this morning... Good one... lol

 

[sizzling]

You would be mad to spend $1200 on any FX setup. It reads like your suggesting the FX8320 is better than other options? I struggle to believe anyone would suggest that.

Was just reading this,,like i said i run a i7-7700 with 1060 and can run Witcher 3 all day and it never goes over 60c!It has a Evo 212 and on Asus Prime board at 2400Mhz..And thats it,,you cant get better than that,,i read were guys are running Witcher at 70-80c!

SMH. Yea i got a FX 8320 still with a GTX 960 4GB and I'm starting to see the slower FPS in newer games. I still don't need to upgrade but still won't says go and buy a FX CPU. I mean the only good thing about them is they are cheap as hell now lol
