fx 8350 vs 9370

[iknowreal]

So I have been reading that the fx 9370is a overclocked 8350 my question is how much overclocked is it?

 

[DzOnIxD]

You can overclock a 8350 to 8ghz with a good mobo and liquid nitrogen, so there ain't much of a difference. Except when you buy a 9370 you don't get a cpu cooler you have to buy an aftermarket one.

 

[InvalidError]

It is not "overclocked," it is merely spec'd at a higher stock clock, which is basically the same as overclocking a 8370 except that the 9370 is guaranteed to run at those higher clocks by the manufacturer without blowing up instead of being luck-of-the-draw.

9000 series is a waste of money and cost more to run than the FX8000 series.

This is my cooler.
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

Not enough to cool that chip you need a high end air cooler such as noctua nh d14 of a half decent clc such as a h80i

 

[iknowreal]

What could I realistically achieve with this? On a low end and high end?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

With a 212 EVO not much.

With a 212 EVO not much.

I was always told it was a great cpu cooler. That's why I bought it.

Good lord.Here is my current build.http://pcpartpicker.com/p/7psPcf The problem stated with the fan.Is true in some cases.With the power supply i have.I cannot place the fan of my Water cooler on the back.I could put it on the top of the case or on the side panel.So you know.But my temperatures after a clean format are 0c.You hear me? 0c It out performs the i7 5960K by 3x it`s performance in games an AMD based programs.It is not overclocked.It is steady.Smooth.


No lag stuttering or anything.Not like my old Intel build.This is one of the best processors you should get.As for power consumption.It is at a max use MAX on benchmarks of 421watt.Almost as much as Intel's processors that CLAIM to be 85watt run up to 391watt.Yes they do NOT overclocked.Did you think an Intel processor running at temperatures of 70 to 90c were still at 85watts?At full load 55c.Unless you have a virus or Trojan.Or are getting internet calls.

Internet calls will put pressure to keeps asking for information.This will increase your clock timing making your processor heat up.When it turbos up to 4.7GHz you see completely smooth performances.
