piledriver - Official AMD FX4300,FX6300 and FX8350 review thread

Go for something like Fritz chess, set it to 4 threads (When it's an 8 core) and then when it's a quad core try 4 again, see if it improves.

Then Cinebench single thread benchmark with it as an 8 core, then as a quad core.

Although, if the scheduler patch doesn't work correctly in some benchmarks, it may show a gain when it should already be getting that performance.

No probs, I'll post the results up when everything is done which, fingers crossed will be late tomorrow (The courier-gods willing!)
 
The wait is terrible. Waiting for case, SSD, Thermalright Silver Bullet and Motherboard to arrive. Want to be getting on with the build now. I've got my 8320 and Windows 8 Pro upgrade sat here gathering dust.

And my 6 year old niece is getting impatient because she's having my old rig.

Including tax, 8320 are £122 in the US. Bloody yanks.

The motherboard was the biggest cost for me as I wasn't going from AM3+ and I figured if I was going to have an AM3+ board I might as well have the best.



Everything just shipped bar motherboard....this is the trouble with ordering some parts from other companies.

What board did you go for, CHV?

I went for the Sabertooth, seemed a really good spec board for the money. Just seen someone on OC.net getting 4.9 stable with an 8320 on a sabertooth. He's gonna be getting some PMs from me!! :D

50 quid says mine's a crap clocker though. :p

Yeah, got the 'Z' revision. Fingers crossed we both got good clockers....I want 5Ghz on air! But it's such a leap for me I know I'll be delighted with mine at stock. Just need to get a 7850 gfx card now and I'll have everything I need for a couple of years.
