Question 1

Does this include the fan?

Accepted Answer

the last line in the Tech spec, here
answers that.  read the  whole page? please
it says NOT INCLUDED,
its a REFURB ,
no man on earth can refurb a processor, so its just a RETURN.
someone bought it and its an open box return
most boxed new processors come with a fan
that is to customers don't use a guttless fan and burn up a very expensive part.
read the warranty carefully lots of parts sold like this is AS-IS.
warning, read the fine print.  and win.
good luck.

Question 2

Does this come with a heat sync?

Accepted Answer

the sheet on the page states that, there is no heat sink or fan (really is one part)
my guess, is the boxed set , is an open box return missing the fan/heat sink assembly.
its lost.
so they resell it , sans sink/fan, for cheaper
id never buy one like this, (IMO) buy a new one all the parts in the box, from AMD.
a full box set.

lets see, im a CPU refurb station,  hark , not me, 
i open the box on a returned chip. and the pins are bent, i un bend them and sell it.
why buy any thing this fragile as a refurb unless its dirt cheap, or 100% warranty for 3 months
and down time is not my issues,  like retired like me.

buy an FX4100 new and be happy. 
btw i run one of these too, but is new.

refurb has no meaning here,  its undefined. so run.

rule 1 in silicon.  the walking wounded,... ask QC dept.?
someone ran it with no fan, but it still works ,but 1/2 it's life is gone. or more.

YMMV, or YPMV , your used processor may vary.

Question 3

would this cpu fit my asus m4a785td-v evo? it has support for am3 cpu. i just want to make sure this would work for me thank you.

Accepted Answer

This CPU needs the AMD socket 3 + not backward compatible because of pis locations

Question 4

You can still run DDR3 1600 on this cpu, am I correct?

Accepted Answer

yes thats what i am running, 16g kingston , great cpu, i can oc it to 5gh no issues, but i keep it around 4.6 . ive had it for almost 2 yrs now

Question 5

Can anyone tell me why the 4350 is so hard to find? Not to mention that it doesn't even show up on AMD's product page. What's the deal?

Accepted Answer

easy ,
 go to AMD dot Com.  and look at all the offerings
note that they are a moving target.

as they (AMD) make them faster or yields improve they drop the slower
or lower core counts off the list. (or other reasons)

this is not a static business at all.

please post what you want, and what mobo you have
to see what fits. best, or upgrade.
there is no other way.
or call your (email or?) the mobo maker and ask them what fits best and that you are upgrading if in fact that is what you are doing .

Question 6

will this product work with the MSI 970A-G46 AM3+ AMD 970 + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS?

Accepted Answer

Yes-with no problem from the chip-It's been great since I bought it in early September.

Question 7

would this run games better than the AMD FX-6300 Vishera 6-Core 3.5GHz?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no.  I'd go with 8 core vs 6 core BUT this lil quad is amazing. I've got mine ocd to 4.6 ghz. Flawless. Get this or an 8 core!!

Question 8

Anyone know the max speed for the memory controller?

Accepted Answer

sure,  this is function of your mother board
and the clockrates, set , automatically or if has overclock support
you need to say ,what you wish to plug this uP, in tol.
we can never guess,that.

to see the full spec.of any amd processor, go to amd dot com
and read the datasheets,  endless facts there.l
they made it so....

Question 9

what is the amount of MHz for the hyper transport?

Accepted Answer

i can not use links to AMD so its near impossible to answer
on this forum.  join  the AMD forum and win !
 Viscera processors are covered on AMD DOT COM. 100%

well the MHZ out depends on what.?
the motherboard designers input clock freq! (his allowance)
or if the users is overclocking it (kids like to play) BIOS rules
eg.
i go to AMD dot com
and click FX series.  (follow along)?

and at the bottom of that page we see?
add url front end to each link
deleted amd link, (sad huh)

see
HyperTransport™ Technology up to 4000MT/s full duplex, or up to 16.0GB/s I/O Bandwidth

so what does up to mean,  that means what clock rate 
you run.

the click features tab and get
    One 16-bit link at up to 5600MT/s
    Up to 8.0GB/s HyperTransport™ I/O bandwidth; Up to 16GB/s in HyperTransport Generation 3.0 mode
    Up to 37GB/s total delivered processor-to-system bandwidth (HyperTransport bus + memory bus)

if that is not clear, and wanting to know more , get the programmers book on it.
and talk to your motorboard maker, ask them what controls you
have for clocking.  (my Asus card has lots)
4.2 GHz main clock are you running there?
then click developers page, (surely ive no idea why you asked this)

how to transport runs and speed is very complex topic
why not look for bench marks for just that.
and will very by motherboard makers rules.
it is also programmable.
up to 16GB/s in HyperTransport Generation 3.0 mode
and then there is MC clock turbo mode.... 
deleted wikipedia AMD processor (yours) link (sad 2)
 read  column called multiplier. above..
then see note 2, on hypertransport clock scaling.
"The clock multiplier applies to the 200 MHz HyperTransport base clock."
if you want to go deeper ask or state your reason to ask this.?

asking this clock is not possible to answer. 
with out telling me what the master clock is running first.
input >scaling>> hyper clock (and programming)

too bad Newegg has no datasheet link huh?

Question 10

will this cpu work on a ASUS MOBO M4A79XTD EVO rev x.0x?

Accepted Answer

No. It can support up to AM3 (Sempron,Phenom, etc) and that's it. You need to upgrade your motherboard. Their next gen mobo that supports AM3+ is the M5 series.
