Review on Affordable and Reliable Used AMD Athlon II Quad-Core X4 850 3.2GHz CPU Processor by Bhavin Patel ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

Mother Gigabyte GA-F2A88X-D3H. Cooler tower Gammaxx 300. The sole of the cooler had to be cleaned with sandpaper, as it was not smooth from the factory - and then rubbed with GOI paste and the sole became perfectly smooth and shiny. I applied a thin layer of DeepCool Z5 thermal paste on the CPU and now this 860k nuclear reactor, overclocked to 4.4 GHz, in the drain from 18 to 28 degrees, in the load from 35 to 50, no more. Windows rated it at 7.5 points. (in overclocking, the multiplier is raised by 44x only in turbo mode) All the games that I wanted to play go well, but everything rests on the weakest link in the system - on the GTX 650 video card, frame rate from 25 to 60. I bought a percent in 2022 for 4000, it could have been cheaper for a used one - cheating a store (((. Enough until Armageddon, I hope))))))), and if not, you will have to buy a mother on AM3 + or even step on AM4 and try to buy one of new Ryzens.

Pros
  • - Processor with index "K" overclocking capability. - Strongly not heated with a good cooler. - System with SSD boots in 9 seconds. Fast video rendering. - Handles modern games well.
Cons
  • No level 3 cache. There are no more powerful and breakthrough processors on FM2 +, and if there are, then they are not so good, because for this money to buy a new one, it's easier to switch to AM3 + by buying a mother.

Pairing this processor with an SSD does wonders for an old computer. Ten flies.
