On a GIGABYTE GA-970A-DS3P FX (ver. 2.1) motherboard, I have a system. I use a tower radiator from Ice Hammer with four 8 mm tubes, model number IH-4400B. I bought the FX 8350 to speed up the system. When working in the Pinnacle video editor on a Phenom II X4 965, the loading of each of the 4 cores was approximately 90%, and the temperature reached 48β51 degrees, according to installation and testing using the same application. All 8 cores on the FX 8350 were loaded between 40 and 50 percent. Only 37β38 degrees were reached at the same time. When the processor finished its operation, the temperature dipped to room temperature. The same result of 37 gr. was obtained after running the Aida64 stress test for 10 minutes with all 8 cores loaded to 100%. This serves as an illustration for individuals who contend that the FX 8350 dissipates heat excessively. The BCLK bus is simultaneously overclocked in the BIOS from 200 MHz to 215 MHz with both the old and new processors. Nothing gets stuck and everything runs well. With this little overclocking, the FX 8350's frequency went from 4000 to 4561 MHz. Already, more overclocking resulted in freezes and called for a voltage boost, but I didn't want to do that. And one more benefit. The north bridge's temperature decreased by 5 degrees as well. In response to the query on the FX 8350's energy usage. I used the device specifically to examine the system unit's consumption without using a monitor. I'm simultaneously using 3 3.5" 1 TB disks, 1 SSD, 2 DVDs, and 16GB 4x4 memory. 1. Up to 200 watts are used to boot Windows 10. 80 watts when at rest. 3. Images being uploaded: 140β150 watts. 4. Video editor (core load of 40 to 50 percent): 140 to 160 watts 5. Utilizing up to 200 watts to process huge photos in Photoshop In my opinion, the power consumption has decreased even more in comparison to the prior processor. The end result was that working on the computer became more pleasant. Everything has accelerated and improved in responsiveness. These are all my individual observations. Additionally, the Internet is full of tests and comparisons with different processors.
