Blew up the board while benching it.
Have not replaced it yet. CPU seemed average to slightly above average clocker.
Was benching around 4.8
I still have it.

Nice! I'm glad it's a functional chip, but sorry about your board. Since it came from a rig that toasted the board, is it possible that chip shouldn't be trusted again? That's 0-2 with it.
Nah. I did a sh1tty insulation job on the board. Chiller condensation found a way into the socket. Totally my fault. I knew it but pushed anyway.
It's ok, I hated that board anyway. I'll replace it eventually. P45 boards are still pretty expensive comparatively.

That was why I wanted it to go to a good home. I really couldn't afford a good, 140 watt LGA775 mobo at the time.
Eh....the board I blew up was considered a good board. P5E3 Deluxe
I still blew it up.
I wanted a P45 board anyway.
I don't usually get rid of processors. It'll be here for a long long time.

At the time I had it I had a hard time even finding a board for it. The guy who gave it to me got it from a guy who worked at Intel, who supposedly told him "It's a monster, get a 140 watt board". Makes sense, as it was a brand new ES at the time.

WOW that derailed my thread fast. Why don't you guys PM each other? You are blowing my thread all the hell.
Both cases I got at Goodwill the Antech was only $25 dollars and it was in the original unopen box!
The Armor case was $30 dollars and had a MB CPU RAM Blue-ray DVD and PSU in it!
You guys need to get your **** together MY photo was not nor is it sideways only when I upload it POS!

Figured you weren't using it for anything important anyways.
I've had that happen to me at a couple of sites espeically from images taken with my phone. Was that snapped by a cellphone? And, go easy, would ya? Its a PG site. If the site/uploader is that bad, you can always find your way back to TPU.
Ok, let's all get this back on track. Trickson's build.

I didn't know this was a race for the biggest Epeen, lol, But congrats to you. 
Yours is a huge Epeen. 
I am just having fun Overclocking this chip and being the first black edition I have ever had I love it. Yeah my Ryzen 3 Quad core gives this thing a run for the money. I know the short comings it just fun to play with.

$30 is sweet. Be "warned" the FX-8300 tends to be a rather fun overclocking chip... so you might want to start saving up for a better motherboard for after you blow the VRMs out of your current board =D
I was messing around with the 8300 I got for fun, and it acts like it might do 4.7 stable if the motherboard it's on wasn't a piece of <garbage> . anyway, have fun with it!

Well from the perspective of being a good overclocking chip and showing it. And it's not that bad since it's still in the top 85th percentile. I so want to get a killer MB for it. It would be nice but right now all I can offer is a trade. As I am saving for more RAM and better video cards.
phase of this thread, ill be back with my 920. Wanna see how low I need to go to have same cpu-z score
