The the FX-6300 still the go-to CPU for highest price/performance?

FX-9590 all the way. Its 8 core with 5GHz boost and its cheaper that i5 4690k which is only 4 core with 3.9GHz boost.

>>52598478
doesn't that basically require water cooling to even function?

>>52598551
Any of the fx-9xxc you need water-cooling to cool those beasts

Also OP I have a 6300 with a VAPOR-X and I run rvrythng decently

I've been eying an AMD FX-8370 lately. But at sub-$200 range I'm a cheap bastard.

>>52598551
>>52598575
Let's not forget you need a top tier motherboard so that it won't fry the vrm. Unlike the i5 which i ran at 4.5 with a b85 board.

DO NOT buy an older CPU from AMD this year, just wait for the new chips to come out if you're really married to team red.

>>52598478
Upcoming smartphones SoC's are already as powerful as that think, let it die already, holy hell.
I cannot understand why anyone would waste your own money on such a piece of shit. You don't have the money for something better? Then save up some more.

>>52598551
Yet the 4690k wipes the floor with it on almost every benchmark except for programs that use all 8 cores and doesn't run the risk of going up in flames.

>>52598551
fx-9370 is a better cpu for the price. you're getting 700 points on passmark for $40 with a 9590. not worth it.

>>52598478
FX 6300 is a solid price/perf CPU, Microcenter has dropped it down below $100 on a few occasions. They've also dropped the FX 8350 down to $130 a couple times.

>>52598557
NH D14/15 is plenty.
Also ignore obvious shitposters.

>>52598634
Not OP, but I'm waiting for a good DDR4 solution from AMD before I do a complete system upgrade. Currently using a Phenom II x4 980 which doesn't cut it for modern games anymore. I got it a few years ago when I needed high single-core performance.

>>52598642

lol mainstream laptop cpus aren't even really there yet dont understand how an ARM CPU is comparable anyways

i bought the fx-6300 for $85 like a month ago and i dont really regret it... who cares it's cheap as hell and it was an upgrade from what i had before

>>52598478
What mobos are good with this or the 8xxx series?

I had a gigabyte mobo and it shit itself after 3 months

>>52598674
It's still really not that bad, can hold you through to the end of this year at least.

Sometimes when i come across one of these threads on g, i wonder if there are diffrences between hardware, based on the country you life at.

No one in german, NO ONE, would tell someone
>go and get a amd cpu, its a good choice in terms of price/perfomance ratio.

even the reviews from good sources say that.

>>52598691
The Fx 6300 scores for about 2200 on the singlecore score, which is pretty much what a snapdragon unreleased, unoptimized Snapdragon 820 gets.
8227 on the Multiscore beats it tho, but the Samsungs Exynos 8890 (again, not even released and probably not even in it' final state) scores for 6k.

Give at another year and we'll slowly catch up to the 8350 .

>>52598745
That's because their current state of CPU's is disastrous and nobody with a head on their shoulders should ever buy a CPU that was released in 2012 and was already shit performance wise back then.

It's either go intel or at least wait for AMD to trow their new CPU on the market.

>>52598674
Phenom II X6 T1055 here. I find it runs modern games extremely well. It's the older ones that don't utilize multiple cores well that fuck it up.

It sucks how even the 4690K is like $200.

I have an FX6300 in my build, with a Hyper Evo 212 heatsync.

Never had a problem with overheating, case temps are always good.

Every time I try to overclock eventually I bluescreen and BIOS resets to default clock settings.

I plan to upgrade to an FX-8370 eventually, but for now the FX-6300 is sufficient.

I have fx 6300,it's okay I guess. I didn't overclock it though

Is the 4690K a better CPU for the money than the 4790K?

>>52598478
A I3-6100 is still a better choice. DDR4 support, new socket and the entire tech behind it is not five years old.

I only buy AMD when it comes to GPU's but their CPU's are just garbage nowadays.

>>52599048
Screw jewtel, get FX-9xxx, its cheaper and faster

I think the p/p ratio of the new Athlons is better

>>52599072
it's only faster if you're actually using the entire CPU, otherwise it's slower.

they're stupidly inefficient and unless you plan on using programs that take advantage of 6-8 cores, it's a waste of your money. this is why you see poor multi-media guys buy AMD. it's worth it for them because they need the fastest chip with the most cores for the least amount of dosh. most software, and especially vidya, take zero advantage of more than 4 cores

>>52599308
Also, look at http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Pentium-G3258-vs-AMD-FX-8350

That's interesting. I didn't think about the skylakes.

>>52599411
Because it's better at synthetic multi core benchmarks.
Downside is that two fast as shit cores are better than 8 slowpoke ones for most of the shit consumers do.

See web browsing, gaming, office shit and whatnot.

>>52599051
A i3-6100 is also significantly more expensive.
The CPU itself costs $30 more but you also need a $80 more expensive board and $10 more expensive RAM.

The FX-6300 is still surperior to any Skylake for the sole reason that it doesn't have NSA backdoors and you can still install Windows 7 without a PS/2 keyboard.

If you try to install Windows 7 on a Skylake then none of the USB ports work.

>>52598557
I have stock heatsink and it runs fine. Obviously if I overclocked it would need something better.

Ran one for a long time without a hitch, switched to an i7 4790k and the performance difference is minimal.

In your position though, just bide your time, save some more money and get Zen when that drops at least I won't be about 3 years old before it gets switched on.

>>52599585

Yeah what are people going to do, use Linux?
dont be a retard.

>>52599680

Nobody has been able to answer my question to date so I'll just ask it here in hopes of an answer
I have FX-4350 processor. I want better frames in CSGO and other games. Should I buy a FX-8320 or 8350 (which is just a faster 8320, but overclocking sounds spooky so I'd just pay more if I have to like the moron I am)?

>>52600012
Dump that PC its trash

>>52600036
thanks dad

>>52600012
Well you just made it easier.
All you'll be doing is adding more of the same cores. Those games do not benefit from having more cores than what you already have.
Now, given that information, do you think one of those CPUs will give you an appreciable frame rate increase?

>>52600012
The CPU should be fast enough. What is your GPU?

>>52600076
HD 7850. Might upgrade that too while I'm at it

>>52600012
>but overclocking sounds spooky
Stop being an idiot and just overclock. People have been doing it for decades, it's totally safe.

do you guys think that it's worth it to jump onto skylake now?

>>52600141
No

>>52598672
Microcenter has good deals every now and then, bought my FX 8320 for 100 brand new like 2 years ago

>>52598551
that is 40GHz vs misrable 15,6GHz

>>52600156
Is it actually still worth it to stay into 4690 or 4790?

>>52600141
If you're due for a a full system rebuild then yes. If you just want an upgrade there are probably better options

>>52600211
Yeah, I need to build a new system. I'm currently using a spare laptop I had and have no desktop, but I came into like $500 to use.

>>52600205
What do you even need a faster CPU for?

>>52600286
So you don't already have monitor, peripherals etc?

>>52599397
8350+770 fag here, no issues with this combo familia

>>52600286
$500 is not enough for a Skylake build. Get something like

instead.

pic related. I have a keyboard/mouse and 15" lcd already. I would love to get some 1080p 21" and a mechanical keyboard/new mouse but I'd rather get the tower out of the way... or am I wrong? It seems like peripherals, except for monitors, don't go down in price.

>>52600419
>>52600435
Put the entire $500 into a keyboard, mouse, monitors. Save up another $800 only for the tower.

By the time you get that other $800, components went down in price. That doesn't really happen with keyboards or mice. It does with monitors but not as quickly.

hey guys, I have a full tower i7 930 build and want to switch to mini itx. Thinking about getting a used newer gen i5 or an alternative similar in power to the cpu i have. what would you recommend?

>>52600615
Probably wouldn't go any older than a haswell i5. Just decide if you want to OC or not and pick an appropriate chip.

>>52600791
also, why not older than haswell? was thinking about 2500

>>52600870
depends on the usecase really. i was memeing, it's not a fair comparison since the fx 8320E costs less than half the price of an i7 6700.

>>52598606
But AMD motherboards are a lot cheaper than Intel boards as a whole. A high end AMD board isn't any more expensive than a pleb tier Intel one. You're still in the green on price / performance with a FX-9XXX and a high end mobo.

proof that AMD FX-9590 is god-tier

literally no reason to care about single thread unless you're a manchild playing with gaymen

>>52601080
Single thread helps in a lot of things tho.

I agree, the 9590 will have better staying power for the future than most tho.

>>52600889
anyone? also worth noting that i am a manchild playing with gaymen

>>52599397
Its literally best price to performance on the low-mid range

>>52601080

Nobody should buy a 9590. What they should do is get the 8320e or mayhaps the 8370e and clock it up.

>>52601273
but can't you OC the shit out of a 220W 9000 series FX? isn't that the entire point?

>>52601291

The reason why the 9590 is 220w is because its just an overclocked 8350 - that is all there is to it. The only difference between getting a slower chip and doing it yourself (vs straight up buying a 9590) is a 9590 is guaranteed to run at 5ghz. Overclocking the slower chips runs into silicon lottery territory.

There is nothing inherently special about the 9590.

>>52601343
well shit. might as well go for a 4790k

>>52598551
(Fire extinguisher not included)

>>52598478
860K took that spot when it became like $70 for the same scores

>>52600141
I upgraded from an i7 950 at 4ghz to an i7 6700k. The difference is night and day. Every thing from web browsing to gaming is much faster. Upgrade and don't look back. Alot of people shitposting about skylake are just too poor to own one.

>>52603336
You're full of shit. It's absolutely impossible to notice the difference in fucking web browsing. My main system is an overclocked 4790K, but I also use a Phenom II system regularly and there's absolutely no fucking difference between the two for basic desktop use, and that's a less powerful CPU than an i7 950.

Let me guess, you also switched to an SSD with your new build and are too thick to realize that it's that which makes the difference on the desktop?

>>52603484
