I had an FX-8350BE paired with a GTX770, was such a banger PC to me, only issue was it sounded like a jet engine almost 24/7.

for me it's having drivers that actually fucking work. i don't know what nvidia is fucking doing at this point

i dont recall which one exactly but i remember it would've been embarrassingly bad if my bios didn't have the ability to unlock the disabled cores and even then it still ran hotter than the fucking sun.

Even an FX 6300 was more than enough, and still would be if modern software wasn't so bloated.
We didn't know how good we had it back then.

Jokes on you, i compiled the lonix kernel within 5 minutes eith this thing back in the day.

FX was based as hell if your system didn't throttle, way too many people would get an 8350 and the cheapest motherboard you've ever seen a 125w chip installed in, and complain that it's crashing or throttling

>>109402811
Based FX-6300, I know FX couldn't compete in the high end CPU market, but the FX-6300 was such a good ass $120 CPU, and being 95w it didn't matter how cheap your board was, you were gonna run it and have a smooth experience.

>"you don't need more"
I can understand with reasonably old tech. like ryzen 3000 or ryzen 5000. but that's a 12yo cpu nigga and it wasn't even good when it was recent
>>
>>109405057
Go bitch about nvidia drivers on that subreddit and watch the thread get nuked within an hour

>>109405201
FX is based if you get it for extremely cheap or free, I have an 8350 (6 cores enabled due to cheap board) that I got from a friend, loaded it up with 32GB from my closet and it's a fine little HTPC, I wouldn't put windows on it and try and play games but as a basic use system it's fantastic.

>obsolete tech that works just fine and is usable out of the box
I'm confused, did they change the definition of "obsolete" recently?
>>
>>109405268
It's a 95w chip with 6 cores enabled Anon, it's not that crazy

>>109405284
I guess you could call it obsolete because newer stuff is so better and more efficient, but if you've got FX stuff laying around, it's certainly not unusable, I was watching this one tranny streaming newer games on an FX-6300 with a 3060 back in 2024, and the thing was shockingly usable, it was bottlenecked to hell, but it was fucking playing it, especially when it comes to the most popular potato games kids play these days, it's hilarious how usable an FX system is.

I was playing LoL on a single core Sempron. Though only on Windows 7. Everything above 7 would start choking and stutter.

im still using the humble fx4100 in the big 2011+15 and it jus werks, stays below 40C even

Same here, only 4gb of ram and I have no problems
>>
>>109402241

yeah i built a 8350 system for a friend and i remember the 212+ coolers were like $25 at the time. i ocd it a tiny bit but even a decent cooler like that barely got 4ghz and everyone else was doing like 4.5 on the early aio's. i remember being excited to test the system and pretty dissapointed.

Lol my original home server was my ancient 6300+970 from like 2011 or 12 or whatever. Idled at 100w and hit over 200w under load (computer only, no drives) but did everything I needed.

>6300+970
That's the ideal FX setup when it came to price performance, FX-8350 was great at stock and overclocked nicely, but you needed one of the few good 8+2 phase boards like the GA-990FX-UD3 Rev4/4.1/R5/GAMING the Sabertoooth 990FX R2.0/T3.0, the ROG Formula-Z, or the ASrock fatality killer 990FX, but the FX-6300 would run perfect on any AM3+ board ever, could be a crappy ass 78LMT and it wouldn't even throttle.

>>109407125
>tfw recently bought an old ass laptop that's about as powerful as a 2500K
>it's still good enough for portable usage
>>
>>109402811
It's funny how well the FX 6+-core line aged. Intelfags really lost the bet when everything started being parallelized and they had to replace their dual core CPUs.
>>
>>109407219
Absolutely insane these two competed price for price at about $120 and the 6300 was 85% better in multithreaded shit, while the single core was about 15% worse on the 6300, but it was a hell of a fucking chip for the money, I think FX smacked around Intel's low end harder than Ryzen did, it's just ryzen is such an upset because they took the mid range, and competed with Intel in the high end segment, so that's why FX will never get any appreciation, but what a time for budget computer builds in the early 2010s.
>>
>>109402032
Actually I need less (heat dissipation)
That thing is a furnace and it can't even get more than 200 cpu score in FAF.

I feel like a fuckin idiot for upgrading from my FX-8350, throwing in the 1050Ti I have now to perf match my chud 7970 and throwing 32GB of RAM in it would've been way cheaper then building a used i7 rig, which in it's defense does beat it and use half the energy, but I wasn't exactly struggling to get things done on an FX-8350 in late 2023.
>>
>>109407219
>>109407280
That was my choice back then a basic i3 or an FX6300, I ended up getting the FX and overclocking it, served me well until I moved on to AM4.
Despite having a much faster CPU my PC is nowhere near as responsive as the clip I recorded in 2014 shows though.
>>
>>109407671
Enshittification be like that, my fuckin internet was 20 mbps in 2014 and I had a Q6600 with Windows 7 on it, yet that garbage ass computer still feels more responsive than my 6C/12T beast with 32 gigs and a 540 mbps internet.

let me explain, when you amd then the linux happens and stuff because it doesnt have bloat in it. its like thinkpad+traps+gentoo i love the corporation i love the corporation loves me and i love the corporation i love it i didnt fall for a guerrilla marketing tactic im smart my mom says i are dumb but im smart I AM IMMUNE TO PROPAGANDA im sure of it

Try doing it now with their contemporary versions on Windows 10 or 11 and see how long it takes them to open smartass

dude you literally invented proper benchmarking, im in awe. tho it is known that amd introduced le_morefast.dll loading technology powered by defunctware(tm). this is whyy (((((((they) are inventing new bad windows's its because they want to ungood amd. its just crazy how "security" "updates" impacts things. i dont know anything about any of that shit other than it has homosexuality in it
>>
>>109407219
>Intelfags really lost the bet
I argued with them about this at the time.

> Games only use one or two cores
Now, but not forever, and more cores makes the system more responsive
> By the time games use more cores, I will have upgraded already
What, you only have one computer? You throw away your parts when you're done with them, or you're willing to deal with the scum of humanity on craigslist to make $20 off your old RAM?

My daughter is using my old FX-6350 for her desktop.
