Hello,

My config is,

"8150 AMD FX Bulldozer Black Edition Processor - 8 Core"

The Above processor is damaged. I would like to buy a new one. Shall i go for the same one? Or in case to improve the performance, Should I need to buy other any other model?

Kindly help me out with my doubts. Lots of reviews confusing me.

Thanks for understanding.

I would get FX-8320E it's cheap and rated 95W

I would get FX-8320E

Dear Octavecode, thank you for the info. But I am not gonna overclock it. Also money doesnt matter.

IF you want to increase performance get FX-8350 i would personally get the FX-8320E cause it's more efficient. thats all.The difference in performance between 8150,8350,8320E is minimal.

Ok.

Personally, I'd lean towards the FX-8370, but what sort of damage has been done to your current CPU? Are you able to boot the system at all? Can you update the BIOS with your current chip installed?

Dear Wolfshadw,
In my current processor (FX 8150 - bottom part), it has more tiny needle that will enter into motherboard slot. In that, 4 needle has bends and 6 pins are gone. Its not working now. This the reason I am getting new one.

Dear Wolfshadw,

FX 8370 and FX 8350 are same in performance? Am I right? If so the only difference in cost.
The 8370 is Rs 12,993. And 8350 is Rs 9,232.
Of-course money doesnt matter for me. I wan to know which only is better that suits my config. I heard people saying 95w chips................................................ I dont have knowledge in that. Please help me out. Should I need extra watts in psu?
Which one is the best good processor?

If I recall correctly, the FX-8370 has a larger L3 cache. That makes it able to handle and process larger chunks of data at a faster rate, so there would be some performance benefits to it over the FX-8350. Whether you'd really notice it, I can't say (probably not).

95 watt processors like the FX-8320E and the FX-8370E are more energy efficient, but you've been running a 125 watt processor since you first booted your computer. You might save a few Rs each month.

The problem lies in the BIOS. Every CPU that has been mentioned here probably requires a BIOS update in order for your system to boot and you need a working CPU in order to update the BIOS. The simplest route for you would be to purchase the cheapest processor (or borrow any processor) you can find and is on the list linked below, that has been validated since BIOS version 0219. Use that processor to update your BIOS to the latest version (2501). Then you will be able to install the processor of your choice.

Question from Vimalfxartist : "Suggest me the best Processor for my config?"

"8150 Bulldozer Black Edition Processor - 8 Core"

The Above processor has been damaged. I would like to buy a new one. I want to know whether I should go for the same processor or a better one? I need a better performance. If so, kindly suggest me the good and better processor that suits the above config.

Thanks for understanding.

As long as your PSU is good quality you can overclock with your setup. An FX8320 should overclock to perform as well if not better than a 8370.

However the whole FX range are weak by modern standards. Even going to a 8370 isn't going to give you a big step up in performance. To get a decent performance boost you are going to need to move to Intel or AMD Ryzen but both require a new motherboard and RAM as a minimum.

8370E -- The lower power version of the CPU

https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/SABERTOOTH_990FX_R20/HelpDesk_CPU/

Best CPU your board will take is the FX-8370, although even an FX-8300 (the cheapest of the lot) would be a decent same-tier replacement for the broken CPU (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/cpu-hierarchy,4312.html). I would not get an 8320e or 8370e, though; they're lower-power CPUs meant for boards limited to the 95W chips, & they're actually 2 tiers down from your broken 8150.

You probably won't see any performance improvement, though -- maybe at best an extra +1FPS, but that would be the most. Mainly, you're looking at just getting your system working again without a) spending a lot of money & b) having to reinstall everything from scratch.

The FX-8370 has a slightly higher turbo speed (4.3GHz vs. 4.2GHz), but otherwise the 8350 & 8370 are identical. I wuold save the Rs 3,700 & get the FX-8350.
