Is there any differences with amd fx 8350 vs 8370. Is the cost of the 8370 at 200$ vs 8350 at $180 better price.
Thanks for the responses it sounds like the 8350 would be the right choice with my noctua nh-d14 then. So that's what I will go with.
It all depends on the chip S/P, were have seen the latter Fx chips run on significantly less voltage. Oc's in the upper 4's can be obtainable on air if the chip is a really low leakage chip. The older Fx 8xxx such as the one I have would be very difficult to get over 4.6 on Air, I've tried with mine.Don't mean to dampen your spirits but from what I've been told...
4.6Ghz MAX with it maybe.
The D14 is a great cooler, but these FX chips love cold - don't forget that. The colder the better. This is where custom water comes in.
This is the reason I went with a FX 6300. My thinking is 2 less cores = less heat which might mean higher overclocks...
I can let you know once it all arrives if you'd like.
On the flip side, I'm very interested in knowing how your D14 does on a FX 8350 since I was originally going to get the 8300. Both of which are 8 cores.
I'd love to see some pics of hwmonitor and cpu-z when you get your chips and OC like mad with it!
I know the guy I bought my 8350 and Extreme9 from ran it at 4.7 24/7 with a D14
Not that unusual ..... RGone has / had a chip that would as well as johan's 8320 and you can probably toss in my new 8370 that can/would run cooler with less volts throughout their OC. The big difference between the new and old chips if you remove the lower VCore and temps is the ability to make those kamikaze runs as RGone likes to call them. These new chips have shown a tendency to top out at some point ......
Take my 8370 as an example. I can run it up to almost 5.1GHZ Prime Stable @ 1.48v compared to my old 8350 which needed 1.53v. I am sure if I really tried to push my OC on the 8350 and add VCore like CD has a tendency to do I could get a higher Prime Stable OC if I can deal with the heat with a special loop the likes that johan is running. Now my new 8370 .... try as I might, within reason that 5.1GHZ is a very tough nut to crack I have run my VCore up close to 1.6v and still cannot get 5.2GHZ Stable. Yes I have been able to run some light benches up higher to say 5.4GHZ as I have posted in the overclocktigon but those benches were very light on the CPU. My guess if they were more CPU dependent then I would probably have topped out sooner regardless of my VCore. There in lies the biggest difference between the old and new FX8XXX chips.
This is like my current fx 4300 I cant get past 4.8 no matter what I do. It runs prime sometimes perfectly somtimes it gives errors . I found out recently my 8 pin was not working correctly because it was not tied up and the extention was being pulled out that might have had something to do with it. So before my new cpu I might try again. My current voltage is 1.68 or something. under 70c
At n0 time have we seen any real awesome overclockable FX-9xxx cpus.
the FX-9xxx cpus have a default speed that is about where most of us overclock our FX-8xxx cpus up to
That means at stock/default speeds the FX-9xxx needs serious cooling at the outset.
I apologize, I didn't mean to imply that 9000 series chips were somehow better. Heat and power requirements aside, the (I think?) lower throttling temperature was the final "that's no fun" for me.One last thing. At n0 time have we seen any real awesome overclockable FX-9xxx cpus.
Getting my 8350 Monday. For some reason 1 day shipping didn't deliver it on sat. Its stuck in Tennessee. I will give a review when I have it stable and running I might even run some bonic work on it.
