Best possible upgrade from any entry level AM3 CPU.
I bought this last June to retire my aging Phenom II X4 955BE and finally update this computer. I needed something to delay my transition to Ryzen and this works great. All my friends are unfamiliar to AMD and they think the FX-9000 series would work but I use a TA970 board and noticed the offerings aren't suitable. Nobody has the engineering ability or patience to deal with 220W TDP along with constant northbridge woes, so enter the FX-8300 series: It's a revision of the 9000 series and currently holds a WR. So, sounds great. At 4.3GHz and less TDP than my Phenom II, the 8370 matches a 9590 in performance and runs consistently better at 4.5GHz while the massive Wraith cooler steals the show with its RGB ring of fire. I've been running this for a year and can safely say there is no reason to go FX unless you're on some AM3/AM3+ combo and waiting to build a cheap 16+ core Ryzen system. It's not going to happen. For most jobs this works like the Ryzen 5 1600. There is a performance gap but it's reasonably better than the alternatives.Temps hover between 39-42C in VR at 1080p and it chews through Unity and Blender jobs. Has an edge over the FX-8350 in speed and performance but the premium is high and can only chase the WR. At this time it appears I'm the only technical master of this CPU+board combo on UserBenchmark, which is completely insane. For CPU+GFX combo in PerformanceTest I hold top rank with few people higher in CPU and memory marks despite my crippling 8GB of DDR3-1600. The FX memory controller was made for 1866 speed memory and feels right at home on a minimum of 16GB for everything you want. Anything higher in speed isn't on the multiplier and anything less in size will seriously hurt performance but in 2019, finding good DDR3 kits is rare, below spec, unstable, ridiculously expensive or impossible. Worse, if you're still using high voltage memory like Mushkin or Geil when DDR3 first came out, you're going to have every imaginable issue like they're combining into Voltron. Temps already climb dramatically during the Summer months so study your options and choose wisely. For me that probably means doubling memory, drilling out my antiquated drive cage mounts and adding a dual fan radiator or chiller. Should be fun. Have some pictures.
