>who here buyers remorse
ftfy

ryzen next week, sleep tight fx.

>>61910052
I bought an fx 8300 for $90 a few years ago. It's shit, but I wouldn't say that I have buyers remorse over it.

>>61910238
This, if you bought an FX-8350 rig in 2012, you stayed current for 5 years.

>>61910040
FX 8350 @4.3ghz here light gayning and quite a lot of VM work.

I have the fucker downvolted to 1.3v and its quite cool. Was planning on go Ryzen 7 but i think i will wait for an APU laptop and next year upgrade to Ryzen 2

390x max comfy here.

Poor i5 4690 long in the tooth wish ryzen ram wasn't so expensive 300+ for 32gb 3200 here

I built my first computer with 6350 and the stock fan, add that in with a blow style gpu and the thing sounded like a jet engine on takeoff.

I loved it though.

Fx 4100 overclocked to 4.6ghz here
Still alright can play most current titles but I know it's bottlenecking the fuck out of my gtx 970 lol

>>61910496
Shit, I hope my FX8350 at 4.2 won't bottleneck, kinda want a GTX 970.

8370e which I got for $115 including the motherboard (Micro Center) and its been pretty good. I don't really play video games anymore but CSGO ran at 170-300 fps when I played it.

I mostly program, do virtual machine stuff, browse the web, or watch movies. Pretty boring maybe but video games are a waste of time and potential.

An impressive fact: my CPU is currently 68F (20C) while turbo boosted to 3.6ghz. Ambient temperature is 80F (27C). This is on air.

My brother is replacing his FX-8350 with a TR 1950X. Gonna use that to replace the FX-6100 in my NAS.

I've done several builds with the 8320s and 8350s and they're not horrible.. what you guys don't realize is they're fantastic for people who want either their first gaming computer, or someone who has little money but wants to have something... They're decent performance for how little they cost, and can still handle the majority of games on the market while not breaking the bank.

Seems like only the 1337 autists actually get butthurt by these cpus...

Bought my FX 6300 in 2013, It was shit at beggining and was this close to sell it and get a i3, but then games used moar cores and updates fixed everything.

depending of money, i might buy a rx570 and keep the cpu another year or buy a new computer.

Performance its not an issue because i mostly play AoE2 and Assetto Corsa.

>>61910496

Holy fuck, get a FX 8xxx series, that FX is the worst of the worst.

these days are good for upgrading since most people are dumping their FX's rigs

High power, and tons of shitty cores, basically AMD was only giving people the option of threadripper for about 6 years.

Bought an 8320 in July 2012, still rocks hard on For Honor max settings 1080p and Cs:go @ 144hz. I really did win the silicon lottery, this chip is insanely good, bought it for 119€

>>61912071
no

one of my poorfag friends is in need of "new" shit, he mostly games and currently has an AM3+ motherboard. Would it be better to get an FX 8350 or to pony a little extra and get an r3 1200 + new cheap mb. Either is a massive improvement to what he has. He's using a GTX 580 and 8 gigs of ram with it.

>>61912071
If you use multicore applications.

>>61910040

Nothing comfy about FX. Always was a bad idea to buy.

Good thing Ryzen was a winner.

I'll wait till zen cheapens, thanks. FX was the same way when it was new and hyped, new it's the best budget rig.

I'm not sure if I wish that I switched to amd earlier. But I'm quite pleased with my purchase of a ryzen 1700.

I don't like it. my Phenom II 965 generally ran much better. seriously considering swapping it back.

http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-7300HQ-vs-AMD-FX-8350/m223877vs1489
So... I think I should go with Ryzen. The 8 core 8350 is tempting, But I'd probably do better with an R5 1600 at this point. Would love an R7 1700, but it's outside my price range for the CPU budget. I don't need 8 cores though so the 1600 should do fine and will last me until I can pick up a 1700 used.
Too bad about the GPU/RAM/SSD market though.

>>61910040
FX-6300 that I bought in 2013 with a motherboard for a little over 130€.
Still running at 5GHz, better single core performance then a FX-8300 to be honest.

I haven't had anything yet that I would have felt got bottlenecked by it.
Can't feel the need to upgrade for a while.

>>61911953
High power and sub par performance.

If you really need a video like that to "red pill" yourself, you're a fucking idiot and probably young, as in "in 2012 I still used to paint stick figures" young.

Either it's literally a successful anti-AMD "meme" or young people who came here and saw shitposting think it's real.
Nobody in their right mind thinks this was a bad time or chip for AMD.

FX 8320 here. Glad to not be part of the botnet unlike zen users

>>61915537
Actually, I'm JUST getting into computers and learning about them. With so much attention on Ryzen lately, The FX chips have been mentioned time and time again in a negative light in comparison. Rather than believe the anti-bulldozer hype, I decided to look into it.

Fx-8350 @ 4.0Ghz here paired with gtx 1070
Framedrops are unreal and i can't overclock it because of mobo
Just Wait™ ing on ryzen 2 or something else in the future to upgrade

>>61910040
My 4.6 GHz 8320e is chugging along fine, especially since FireFox went multi-process.

Probably won't upgrade until Zen 2.

>>61910238
I hope you overclocked it past 4.3 GHz.

All these chips need to be over 4 GHz to have respectable performance.

>>61911953

Bad cache design. The long pipeline caused a huge stall penalty.

Plus 0 software devs even bothered to optimize for it. Windows, games, etc. read it as a 4 Core, 8 Thread CPU.

Plus AMD never shrank it down. It's still on 32 nm node.

>>61915592
>Actually, I'm JUST getting into computers and learning about them.

More like warmy.

FX 8350 at stock.

Gaming is slightly suck but its probably GPU. Everything else is C O M F Y.

>>61910040
Here we see amdrones on their real form: poor people using fx, saving pennies to buy a ryzen, insulting Intel every turn because of envy of note costly but superior products

8320e yes the shitty e version.

With an rd 470 and no overclocking it plays the following at 1080p on high settings.

Alien isolation.
Resident evil 7.
Hit man.
Deus ex mankind divided.
Tera mmo.
Metro 2033/last light redux.
Some various other stuff...

I'm seriously wondering why I should give 2 shits about upgrading. Nothing I can't do that I care about so my shit fx cpu seems fine to me.

If I need more power ill buy a new motherboard and over clock the damn thing.

Fx is fine. Combine with a 27 inch freesync monitor and I want for nothing.

The fx 8350 I have is fantastic
Slapped a water cooler on it and bam
Performance way better than my last a10 apu
Once its watercooled it's a good CPU, I dont need a ryzen since I dont do anything that justifies an upgrade

>>61910040
>still comfy
They weren't even good 3+ years ago....

>>61915584
>8.1
>not botnet
pick one

The FX-8350 and Asus M5A99FX Pro from my previous desktop build are now in my headless file/plex/etc server where they'll probably stay for years barring some insane advance in technology.

Hated the 8350 in the desktop, it was stutter city in demanding games like GTA V. It's right at home in a server, though, with those threads.

>>61910040
Comfy nothing. I had an FX-6300 at 5.0ghz that was still stomped in games by a stock i5. I got my hands on an FX-9370 for pennies, clocked it to 5.4ghz under water, and once again, still shit on by Intel.

It's only plus side was stellar multi-thread performance. Encoding and data crunching was second to none for it's price. But other than that, the chip was an inefficient furnace. I have a 1700X now. Cooler, quieter, way more efficient in single core, and double and a half as fast in multi core. Literally the only reason to NOT have Ryzen now is lack of funds.

>>61915774
That changed with the release of the Vulkan API and DirectX 12, which can now take advantage of all 8 cores.

>>61910040
I was given a 9590 from a friend who just buys random shit not looking into if he can use it. put it in fx990 asus board and underclocked it to 4.0ghz @ 1.26v and its fine.
does everything ive ever asked of it.
at stock clocks it will run you out of the room its in and at turbo clocked 5.0ghz you run the risk of creating an artificial sun.
i still like it tho

thats a good processor. he can actually play pubg on lowest with me.

>>61915750
I hope you overclocked it.

Mine is at 4.6 GHz.

Could go higher, but I'm near the limit.

8320 user here, rpcs3 is finally making me feel the pinch.

>still comfy
It never was comfy to begin with.

>>61915904
See the thing is that doesn't matter
Because it's fucking garbage at everything even with its 8 cores

>>61910264
Or you could have got a 2500/2600k in 2011 and had decent performance

Ok guys, I'm planning on getting a new notebook, and I see lots of decent core i5-5200 setups, but I stumbled upon a pc with similar specs but an FX-7500 that is about $200 cheaper than the intel machines. Question is: should I? High watts are no concern of mine.

fx6350 here, its fucking shit

So in 5 years we're going to have this same thread with the 1600 and 1700, right?

I'm glad that it's still fast enough for daily make.

>>61910264
I bought an FX-8350 in 2012, I actually RMA'd it after about a week because it was so disappointing. It had worse single thread performance than my old Core2Duo in some tasks, and most of the stuff I do is single threaded so having 8 cores wasn't much of a benefit for me at the time.

I'm going to build a new Ryzen system pretty soon now

>I'm going to build a new Ryzen system pretty soon now
But i9 has better single core performance then ryzen even ripper

>>61919392
Can say that about the Pentiums and i3 too.

my fx6300 still gets used nearly every day. faster than your average prebuilt even by todays standards, plays rocket league just fine and thats all I ask of it anymore since I upgraded to ryzen 5 1600

>>61910094
Same, r5 1600 finally arrived. Bye bye fx4350

>>61910040
I replaced my 8370 with a 1700X and the former is now sitting in my HTPC.

it's downclocked to 3.4GHz and I'm pretty happy with it. cooler never flares up. overkill for anything I require it to do.

in fact that entire machine is extremely overkill for what it does but hey, better than pawning it off on craigslist for pennies I guess.

>>61917148
I will...eventually.

>>61910040
When I built my first pc, I bought a fx 6300 (because I did not know any better), it was a piece of shit for gaming and the stock fan screamed like a banshee during the summer but it was solid for casual use. now I rock an i5 7500 and I don't regret it.

>>61917345
Actually it isn't. Once those API's came out, the 8350 started outperforming sandy bridge and ivy bridge in gaming.

FX-6300 @ 3.8Ghz.
Can go higher but got a shitty Asus mobo without proper heatsinks.

>>61910040
I have a nuclear powered CPU called the 9370. Only a Nh14 can cool this piece of shit. Shit IPC and is a fucking hell in summer because I don't usually need it where I live.

You do know that, going forward, You won't have a choice but to switch to 10, right?

Anyways, one of the 8 core Vishera FX chips like the 8350 and 8370 should be plenty.

got the 990fx mobo first, was rocking a thuban 1100t on it at first for a while before i got the 8150.

bought the 8150 when it released and then....
>lower fps on cowadoody
>slower handbrake h.264 performance
>shitty cinebench result
>it heats my room i dont need to turn on the heater

RMA it the next day, and luckily they accept my excuse that it was incompatible with my old 890fx mobo.

comes the 8350
>see reviews it only improve 7% on IPC and 15% overall peformance.
>no thanks i'll stick with the thuban

I recently replaced my Phenom II 1090t @ 4.2ghz with a R7 1700 @ 4ghz.
Served me well these last 7 years.
I personally chose to skip FX for my main system. Did build a FX-8320 system for my brother. He seems happy with it.

>>61911953
High temperature
Terrible performance
No igpu


When it came out, it was already garbage, easily got beaten by an i5.

AMD built a speed demon and the fabs did not deliver. Stalls in the pipeline at lower clocks and issues in the cache system caused performance issues. If the fabs actually delivered on their promises Bulldozer would have been competitive with Nehalem and Piledriver closer to Sandy Bridge. The whole architecture was built with high clocks in mind.

The 980 Ti is just wasted in there.
I really need to upgrade the CPU in order to be able to feed the GPU.

Regardless of that I am fairly surprised that there are still so many FX users on /g/.

Nah, I am a bit longer in business.
But I always make the same mistake with oversized GPUs.

The first rig I assembled had an Athlon 64 3000+.
It was pretty decent back then.
That old thing reminds me of the struggle I had with Windows XP 64-bit.

Has anyone here been able to do nested virtualization with this chips?

I can't get it working with my FX-8150

Bulldozer almost bankrupted the company, what are you on about? FX was extremely unpopular, Opteron sales were nonexistant and APUs didnt take off as fast as AMD wanted. Every year there was talk of some company buying AMD. Youd have to be a delusional fanboy to think AMD was ok after 2011.

Ryzen is in another league in IPC compared to Bulldozer. R5 is competitive with i5 even at 4.0GHz, it's roughly Broadwell IPC. Bulldozer on the other hand was absolutely annihilated by Sandy Bridge, like it wasnt even a competition. Then Ivy Brodge was the nail in the coffin. Piledriver was an improvement but reviewers were comparing the 8350 to a fucking i3.

I'm falling for the thread ripper meme, but my 8320 has done everything I've asked since 2013. I bumped the clock to 4.2, I didn't even try to optimize it or anything there could be more headroom.

I have a 4770 at work, it feels exactly the same in visual studio as the 8320.

Israel. Cheapest FX 8350 goes for 172$ here... the newer i3 6100 was cheaper. It might have less cores but I don't game, render, or compile anyway (I study Math and am a Javascript faggot). It is just the corelet feeling that stings.

Had a FX-8350 at stock for a year. I bought a hyper TX3 cooler because temps and noise were horrible for with the stock cooler. Sounded like a fighter jet.
The chip also throttled at 65 C, so no OC without watercooler.
Only good thing was the non-botnet aspect.

Our stereotypes are true most of the time. A fucking fury x is being sold at over a 1000$. The used hardware market is also fucked. Everyone tries to sell at 90% to 80% of the price and write that they won't be flexible.

>>61910040
I got 6300 and some shitty cooler for free from a friend.
So I bought mobo from Black Friday sale like for 40€, memories n shiet also sale.
I got cheaply gtx1060 from guy next door. Half price and that time. I got .ore things from him. He's working as technician in some big company and take in out "broken" electronics. Pretty handy to have this kind of guy next door.
Only thing that I got for full price was power supply.
I tosses away my old Athlon X2...etc and some shitty GPU.
Old setup got in csgo mostly 35fps max 40fps and 5fps in smoke.
New setup got hundreds of fps but sometimes I got hiccups cause cpu is frying itself I guess.
I would say that I made some decent machine for little money.
Now I remember that I had to buy new monitor cause old one was using VGA

Still works just fine, excellent for multi-tasking and VMs.
With the 480, it can put out a decent framerate in ARMA 3, which is notorious for being depending on single thread performance.

I'll probably move to a Pinnacle Ridge system around this time next year, and this board/proc will become a pretty neat o server.

Seems that there are as many comfy Phenom II builds as FX here. Mine since 2010:

Phenom II X2 555 BE unlocked to X4(4C/4T) B55 @ 4.0GHz | £56 IIRC
Sunbeamtech Core Contact Freezer, then the based EVGA ACX | ~£25 and ~£35
16GB of Mushkin Blackline LV(1.35V) 1600Mhz C8 DDR3 | ~£80 (4 x 4GB)
MSI 880GMA-E45 | ~£35
Seasonic S12 II Bronze 520W | £40

Been through a few graphics cards though; 2900XT 1GB > HD4870 > HD6950(flashed to 6970) > HD7870

I built 5-6 of these machines for my brother's work office. Obviously cherry picked and took the best X2 555 BE because I am a shameless goblin

Currently using a FX-8320@4Ghz with an RX470. I like it, but the ryzen chips are so tempting. I'm planning to buy one (plus motherboard and ram of course) for my bday.

Can't decide to go for a R7 1700 or the R5 1600.

Alright AMD fans.
I want to play Forza 7, Forza Horizon 3, Mad Max and any number of driving games.
Should I build an 8 core FX system, or a 6 core Ryzen system?

>>61944716
I'd get a RYZEN, only if you find the FX for like $100 because amazon itself stopped selling the 8350 and I'm already seeing people jewing at $137 for an 8350.

>>61944724
so.

FX:
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xb796X
Prices for motherboard and CPU are from my local Craigslist. CPU comes with a Hyper 212 Evo.

Or

Ryzen:
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DF796X

GPU on both would be a placeholder until the market calms down

>>61944638
1700

>>61944834
I'd go with the FX, you're getting the enthusias 990fx chipset, paying less, and it will run the things you want to run, plus you can get Zen when the architecture goes through a piledriver-like refresh, that makes it more efficient and can get more clock speed.

>>61944868
Also the 16 GB of ram on the FX is a plus, it still gives a lot for the money even though everyone likes to talk shit.

>>61944844
Yeah I guess it would be better to go for that

>>61944893
>>61944868
Also, looking at some game recommended requirements with AMD processors, some of them specify an 8350 at 4.0 Ghz. Can I overclock the 8320 to 4.0 Ghz on that 212 Evo and get the same performance. From what I can see. The difference between the 8320 and 8350 was the base clock speeds and the turbo speeds.

>>61910040
>tfw when Phenom II -> Ryzen

It's a good feeling.

>>61944920
Yes, an 8320 can go above 8350 speeds with not much more vcore.

>>61911953
Designed for high clockspeeds and Bulldozer had many problems which slowed it down
Piledriver improved things a lot

>>61937354

>>61944716
6 core Ryzen if you can afford it
