Works well in gaming and in win apps, however like all FX CPU'...s does not work well for video or audio rendering. I have a liquid cooler on the CPU but it strains so hard in video rendering that I have to throttle it myself from 4.8 Ghz to 4.4 Ghz or it pulls too much power and overheats. In gaming however I can way overclock it and it just ticks away, no problem. I have it paired with an EVGA Nvidia 970 GTX. These work well together, giving my best gaming experience to date.

A great retrofit upgrade for an older Gigabyte Mot...herboard. Performs well. A terrific buy for the money. I bought two of the open box items and when I unwrapped one it was a closed box never opened. with the AMD seals intact-brand new..

Easy to install, is not overheating; do not need speci...al liquid refrigeration, sometimes you find some guru’s criticizing this CPU as something tricky from the manufacturer to earn money. They say it is over powered to get ratings, That is not true with this CPU. I think AMD knows better than this guru’s. Gpwells A+ Computer Doctor

This Proc. worked perfectly, right out of the... packaging. I already have it overclocked to 5.0 ghz and it is stable with a Zalman CNPS990 air cooler! No water required. Max temp. so far has been 58c! Perfect!

i changed out an FX8350 for this workhorse. It's a beauty.... Running at 4.7 GHz and stable with water cooling. Lovely gaming rig.
