GOt the amd fx-8350 this morning for $130( which comes to around Rs.8000 in INR-india) against a decommissioned older pentium dual core lying around. Which means i get this chip with h80 for the full price of around $220.
stable settings....(so far):
5Ghz with 2 cores @ 1.475v
4.5Ghz with 4 cores @ 1.45v
4Ghz with 8 cores @ 1.35v.........................
System is stable and perfect...
My older 1090t competes with this chip @ 4GHz but the FX-8350 still beats it black and blue.
Its an excellent chip with lower power consumption and a controlled TDP ...temps wont keep rising.
The new asrock bios p 2.20 allows for a 2400 mhz ram freq(tridentX), up from 2133...and is super fast and stable..WELL-DONE Asrock!!!
My bios allows for 2400mhz ram freq but my current ripjaws only work at 1600mhz!!
