AMD Fx Processor 4.2 4 FD4350FRHKBOX

got this, put it in, and nothing, thought i had a dead CPU..but i had to flash my bios on my MOBO to the most current version (1604) for this to work i have the Sabertooth 990fx rev. 1. it was running at 4.6ghz on Air Noctua NH-U9B SE2 CPU Heat Sink With Dual Noctua Fans. also bought me a corsair H100i and install that later after i got AMD CPU Fan Bracket Base for AM3 socket my x threw away, so needed another one to install the H100i. on air, it had not gone over 36c playing my games and watching video’s at the same time..running the water cooler i was able to OC this to 5.1ghz stable then turned it down to what AMD suggested(not recommended by them at all) at 4.7GHz for the life span of the CPU. and still at tops with everything running it gets all the way up to 38c not sure what it will go up to in summertime also i replaced the corsair fans with my Noctua fans on the H100i and also use the corsair fans on top for a push pull configuration…I was running a EVGA GTX580 Superclocked video card, but i also ordered a EVGA GTX770 SuperClocked video card and it is now up and running and it is also running awesome and i totally love the dual bios on that..also went out and got a new Samsung SSD 840EVO 250GB this thing just flies now…replaced my old Phenom II x 4 965 3.4ghz OC to 3.7ghz. i have spent on upgrades about 700.00. and its worth every penny…you can actually see the difference in timing and what you see on the screen. i am not a big fan of running benchmark test because they don’t test what i actually do or see..and I can see the huge difference..so i know i made a great buy…thanks to AMD, Samsung, EVGA, Corsair, Asus. this is a great set up total cost over the last few years would be about 1800.00 with the upgrades instead of the original parts that i used and have upgraded from..i know tons of ppl love their Intel stuff but. when i look at the screen, that’s what i see, movie and/or game, not a benchmark test score..so Intel is faster CPU (benchmark) great, but i don’t see that when gaming or watching my TV or movies,and i did not need the extra cost, when this will do the job just as great…and best of all i got this CPU here on amazon for 89.00 woot..everyone else wanted 139.00 or more..talked to an Intel guy all they wanted me to do was to buy Intel i7-4960X Extreme Edition because it was the best for gaming they said and at 1000.00 bucks for just the CPU…umm i think not.. i was not able to see any difference on their monitors from mine in that show room..seems to me all that chip is good for is bragging rights that you got the best benchmarks score..so if you’re a budget guy like me then i would totally recommend this..BTW..talking with a sales rep from AMD, they recommended this(4350fx) not the (9590fx) based on what i told them i did…can you see the difference in the way these two companies operate…up sale (Intel) vs.(AMD) what you need, for what you actually use it for..i will be a AMD Customer forever as long as they never try to up sale me…and they still have great products like this one.System Specs:Coolermaster HAF case 942Asus Sabertooth 990fx rev. 1 MOBOCorsair Vengeance 1600 gaming memory 8gbCoolermaster 1000w.
