I know I did! lol thats my bad, I realized it in hindsight but its too late. :( It honestly was a lot of fun, I appreciate you watching the video!

I had 8350 in my first build back in 2015. It was a workhorse and could play most games I wanted with ease maxed out. I sold the rig a couple of years ago. It still has life for most of the popular e-sport games, indie titles, and emulation. It probably wouldn't fair well for video editing, streaming, and current triple A titles.

I still use my 8350 built in 2017, best upgrades on the system I made was 32GB of DDR3 1866mhz ram and NVME drive. GPU I have in it is a RX470 4GB and its still perfectly capable, its main duties these days is mainly being a server/streaming pc more than a Gaming PC but it still has the umph. Probably last at least another 5-7 years before retirement and then who knows. I only just retired my AM3 Phenom 2 x4 only because of the missing AVX instruction set.

Hello friend, thank you for the video. I have a question about am3+ motherboards. I have an old am3+ motherboard system with an FX-8370 processor but the motherboard is now dead. So I am undecided to buy a used am3+ motherboard because some people say that it's really not worth spending money. I have a limited budget and cannot afford for am4 motherboards nowadays. If I buy an am4 motherboard, I also need to upgrade the other components as well. So far, I haven't had a problem with my am3+ system and I have been using the system mostly for programming, researching and watching some movies. What do you think? Thanks!

@LegitCamelRetro

Жыл бұрын

Well it really depends on what your budget is, and that you are 100% sure its the motherboard that died, because you could easily dig a hole buying parts trying to fix a system that isnt working. I think for what you are doing sticking with am3+ is just fine, but you could also easily get an h610 motherboard with a intel i3-12100 and be set for $200. If you wanted to replace your motherboard this is what I would grab. tinyurl.com/3ark4ytb - Like I said just be sure its your motherboard and take all the proper troubleshooting steps.

Gigabyte GA990-x is a great board for the FX8350 cos it has a M2 NVMe slot, one of only two AMD3+ boards to have one. Ran mine until very recently with the VEGA64 and to be honest the 5600x isn't that much faster for WOT 4k Ultra about 10% same GPU. Lets not forget the FX8350 was once a monster, top of the tree, and expensive !

Thats pretty sweet to note! Would be a good upgrade if I could find that board for cheap

The FX series might have not been that great but they were ok for the money. Used an FX 6300 paired with an R9 270x and 16gb ram till 2017 when the motherboard died and it did run all the games i wanted at the time. When it died i upgraded the whole computer to an i7 7700 which was the latest gen Intel CPU at the time,but i also bought a new board for that old FX and recently gave it my old 8GB RX 580 and it's still kicking today as my guest/music/storage PC. For such an old CPU which was not that great to begin with i'd say it's still holds up pretty ok

FX-6300 was my first ever build lol for me it felt amazing at the time because I was stuck on crummy single core laptops for the longest time. honestly its something that gets the job done and can play most competitive games like overwatch with a decent enough frame rate to have fun with friends and sometimes thats all someone really needs.

That was the most dust clog I've seen on a CPU heatsink, probably the cause of shutdown as the CPU overheated. Interesting mounting for the heatsink, I normal blow air through the heatsink to the back of the case to be blown out by the rear fan.

@LegitCamelRetro

I did further investigation and it was actually the power supply overheating, I had to replace the entire unit after I made this video, which is shocking lol I might do a video on the power supply later. But yeah im not sure why but back when they came out with this evo 212 the mounting method for AMD only allowed for this kind of mounting, I would prefer to blow it out the back as well but it just wasn't possible with the bracket they provided.

A Haswell bottlenecks GTX1070ti so the FX will for sure, plus 990FX chipset only runs PCIe 2.0, a 1070ti will be getting close to saturating that slot. I've got a FX8370 on a ROG board, I might break it out for a play sometime. My old Sabertooth FX rev 2.0 board was legendary when I did some LN2 overclocking with the FX back in the day. If you lapped the CPU the temps would drop a bit, the IHS is soldered on the FX CPU's so you don't need to delid.

@LegitCamelRetro

Yeah kind of figured there would be a bottleneck but it was just something i had laying around collecting dust, and at least they keep the drivers up to date on it. Thats one thing I liked about the old FX cpus is they had some good overclocking potential.

nice config :( wish to have at least the weaker ones

GTX1070Ti is still very good card for 1080p gaming and it can run any new games without any problems even on high settings on 1080p, but unfortunately that FX-8350 is gonna bottleneck that GPU really hard.

My wifes PC is a FX 9370 or something like that... the highest end processor from that range... It still works fine, although, the SSD is probably what makes it feel snappier than it should.. It's paired with a RTX 3060ti and needless to say the CPU is a huge bottleneck. It runs most games perfectly fine, but, for some reason some menus it doesn't agree with. For example, Apex legends... In game it gets 100-200 FPS.... In the menus its so bad you can barely click on stuff... its really weird... Those old CPU's are still beasts.... The 9370 stayed in my rig from like 2010 2011 until 2020 when I upgraded my rig to a Ryzen 9 3900x... The biggest issues with the older chips is that it runs old, slow RAM. Like I have 16GB 1333mhz with it.. Such slow ram lol

@LegitCamelRetro

Жыл бұрын

Yeah the ram speeds are pretty shocking when you look back on it, the speed increase in just a handful of years is pretty drastic, but most GPU bound titles dont really utilize it anyway. When it comes to esports titles and pushing high fps thats when the cpu and ram bottlenecking becomes a pretty huge issue, it was honestly really fun to toy around with the old FX system again just to see how far things have come from what seems like not that long ago.

@theHardwareBench

Жыл бұрын

The FX doesn't benefit much from increased ram speed, about 1600 is max useful. Cranking up the northbridge and HT link will yield big performance gains but it's a black art to get the settings right. You'll need to do some benching with a lot of trial and error. A well setup and overclocked FX will match a gen 1 Ryzen for gaming if you can do it.
