AMD FX-8350 Vishera 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core Desktop Processor FD8350FRHKBOX

Pros: Relatively easy installation. Runs fast, cool, great for gaming and the rest. Amazing for the price.

Cons: Stock fan is pretty loud but it doesn't bother me because it keeps the 8350 at a cool 35C under load and I wear noise cancelling headphones anyway.

Other Thoughts: If you want a quiet PC you'll have to look for another cooling solution.

Pros: Eight cores, 4.0ghz stock

Cons: I come to find out that this CPU is unable to run 32gb of RAM beyond 1600mhz speed due to an insufficiently powerful memory controller. I'm knocking off an egg on my rating for this... bare it in mind when planning your RAM purchase

Other Thoughts: Works very well, runs Adobe After Effects CS6 very smoothly with greatly reduced render times

Pros: First and foremost Newegg needs to give people an "IQ" test before allowing some of you to post your reviews. Secondly this is an 8 core cpu, not a 4 core. Do your homework before you post a 3 or 4 egg review because someone dumber than yourselves posted it on some forum. It has 2 cores per module (4 modules) for a grand total of ... not 4.

Cons: Im also tired of reading reviews from people who "P & M" about high temps because they weren't smart enough to buy a better cooling solution. We are all also very aware that the stock is junk. I think they include them just to give people mores reasons to "P & M".

Other Thoughts: Next time before you feel the need to clutter the reviews section with your idiocy, do something more constructive e.g. try to lick your elbow?

Pros: This thing is crazy fast. I run Gentoo and its makes updating painless and quick. This is my work computer and its not uncommon for me to have a bunch of hungry programs running, 2 VMs, plus other stuff on the go and this handles it all with ease.

Cons: This thing pumps out the heat, I would argue the stock CPU simply cannot handle it even at stock speeds. That said I can't think of any cpus I have bought in recent memory that were not in the exact same boat, so I won't fault it there.

Other Thoughts: Installed in a GA-990FXA-UD3 and this board _CANNOT_ handle this cpu, overheats and throttles the cpu (which is not overclocked AND undervolted). I have a Corsair H60, which works fine, but the issue is the VRMs which is no fault of the cpu.

Pros: It does what it's supposed to do. I can go on and on but I won't. If you are on a budget this is a definite choice. It is worth the money.

Cons: The stock fan seems to be lacking but not worth knocking an egg off. I planned on upgrading to a water-cooling solution.

Pros: So fast! Spanks my overclocked FX6300 big time at stock settings.

Cons: It gets about 8 degrees hotter than my 6300 as to be expected. No big deal.

Pros: This thing is just super fast.

Have no problems after owning it for about 4 months.

Can Max any games I throw at.

Cons: As always, stock coolers suck.

A $200 CPU deserves a decent Cooler.

Pros: Working great. Coming from a dual core it feels like a gift from the maker.

Cons: Doesn't process food for me to eat.

Pros: Really Fast.
Stays Cool.
8 Cores.
What can go wrong?

Cons: None so far.

Pros: Fast, Easy to OC (but not necessary), quiet when idling, great price

Cons: No cons!

Other Thoughts: I bought this CPU for a gaming computer and I'm very pleased! It runs better than any Intel processor in the price range or above!
