Sorry bro don't have PC Mark Vantage in my rig..

hello guys. any shops in low yat selling the fx 6300 ? so far only some forumers selling it and cannot find it in any of the shops at digitalj mall. thanks

Bought mine (FX-8350) from bro lingloong, the best price I've seen in the Malaysian market right now.

I've bought mine (FX-8320) from Cycom yesterday. Bought a new GC, mobo, RAM, HDD, casing etc from them too. For a less than RM1700 upgrade, I am very very happy with the results

which modal of mobo u take?
btw 8320+mobo how much damage?

to save some money, I took the asus m5a78, which is the cheapest am3+ out there. yeah I know that the chip set is older type but I am not a over clocker and don't intend crossfire. the processor cost me 570... kinda expensive compared to some forumer but I needed it on sunday and no forumer is open on sunday. .

Just bought the Amd FX8350 and Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z. Just want to ask the board is with 8pin +12v and 4pin +12v, my psu got only 8pin so then 4pin +12v no power also can boot the board right?

I don't want to be rude, but the manual is there for a reason. In case you were lazy, its in page 1-43, yes I have downloaded the manual for that motherboard and read it.

Its just a general rule of thumb, no matter how expert you are in computer, you must read the manual that comes with hardware because sometime common question or tips and tricks is inside there already.

I've read it so many times but the manual just say
Have u try this board ? Need all 4 and 8 pin to power up?

No I havent. Its only the eatx12v_1 is the primary one. As long as you plug it there board should work. But I guess even the 4pin eatx_2 would work.

any recommendations for a after-market heatsink to replace the Coolermaster that came along with the tin box? During idle it's whisper quiet but when playing demanding games ala FarCry3, it will be noisy.

thx Fx'ers for any response

That depends on how much you willing to spend. Why not try Phanteks Thermal Solutions PH-TC14PE?

google'ed it and it's cool. how much does it costs? and where to get it? My budget prefebably no more than 400

Try ask CyntrixTech, I believe the price is below RM300.

local not yet have 4300 & 6300%yet right?

zhen^wei has FX6300.

Anyone could suggest a RM400 below AMD CPU to pair with HD7850 ? Currently all suggest go with Intel 3220 which no overclocking feature.

Should I go with FX-4100 ? According to some review it will causes bottleneck to HD7850 unless overclock it.

8320 selling 559 !!!! better performance,idle temp are okay (i think 3220 have higher idle temp) But same with all amd is watt sucker!

4100 overclock to 4.8 is okay,but better buy a cooler.

AMD FX-8350, FX-8320, FX-6300 and FX-4300: All Vishera Processors in One Review

They don't need to disable too much on FX 4xxx series CPU. It won't be a viable upgrade for anyone on Phenom II. They still don't reach here though, both the FX 6300 and FX 4300.

Bottleneck always occur in any system, thing is whether it is big or small.

FX-4100 would be good, heck even my Phenom II X4 runs great with HD 7850. Its just people underestimate AMD CPU just because it eats more power than Intel CPU and they better at benchmarks, it doesn't mean it wasn't fast, its just not as fast that's all. But on the upside AMD could do overclocking, and a lot more fun with tweaking. Plus it it is supported for future CPU revisions. Going LGA1155 means pretty much buying a soon-to-be replaced with Haswell on LGA1150.

If you wanted to, you could opt for AMD A8 5600K FM2 with Gigabyte GA-F2A85XM-D3H for RM 429 and RM299 respectively.
