awesome speed and smoother than anticipated, would recommend to family and friends looking to build a computer of their own

It is faster than my computer ever was, but vs the intel I7 I use at work it seems to not do well with applications with great speed like..flash.

I love the speed.

I love the speed and the value.

Major speed improvement

I have used AMD CPU's for over 16 years now and have always had great speed at decent prices

major upgrade, love the speed

Great Speed for the price...definitely worth the $$$

excellent processor speed is noted, the only thing I dislike is that it sounds like a plane, I think that comes with the cpu fan above, for best performance you need a better cpu fan

Great speed.

This is a great processor for someone who wants decent processing speed and power without paying an arm and a leg

From doing research and having many apps open, to being a hardcore gamer, this processor has enough speed and power to easily let you run any combination of applications

Enough power and speed to handle 1080p 60FPS live streaming on Twitch without bottle necking

I use several Adobe products and the FX 8350 makes them fly at an incredible speed

As fast as he upgrades it, the developers seem to come up with new games that require more computing power and faster speed

Immediately after installing I noticed the idle speed just sitting in BIOS to be

The overall speed of the processor pre-overclocked will still make your computer lightning fast

Good speed and keeps relatively cool

I don't plan on overclocking this CPU because the performance at stock gives me enough speed

Its amazing the speed the PC runs with this 8 core processor running at 4 GHz.

Overall the upgrade allows me great 1080p gaming with high frame rates (not consistent 60 FPS depending on the game) at a comfortable speeds

love the speed

Sixteen years using and selling AMD CPUs (thousands) and never a second's problems and always outstanding speed and performance.

The ASUS BIOS are able to overclock it to 4.4 automatically and it is running as stable as clock speeds

The speed is decent and with liquid cooling, I was able to get a stable 4.7GHz.

If you're looking for a processor with great processing speeds AND the ability to multi task multiple programs then this 4 GHz 8 core processor is great for that

I decided on the AMD FX-Series 8 Core because well, it's not that expensive at the same time the speeds on this is pretty incredible

Love the speed

Works great with smooth speed

Unless you want to have the absolute best speeds and performance, there's no reason to not choose this.

If you want to overclock this up to a decent speed, I would recommend doing a bit of research before getting this CPU for overclocking

The stock cooler runs at an annoying speeds when CPU is in heavy use and would recommend third party solution

The one that fits and work with a cooling speed of 3110 to 3210 is a Thermaltake CPU Cooler.

is they all run at the same time with awesome speed

I upgraded from a AMD FX-8320 and enjoy the added speed.

Holy s***.

, get Intel, I have seen this kind of recommendations since the phenom ii was released, and I have always went with AMD for my home PC's, and just like I found with the old Athlons, the FX’s, and Phenom II’s, this is an awesome chip for Gaming or any other use you can possibly come up
