Review on ๐Ÿ’ช AMD FD6300WMHKBOX FX-6300 Black Edition: 6-Core Processor with Unparalleled Performance by Boyan Jakimov แ Œ

Revainrating 1 out of 5

A terrible product, not satisfied with the purchase at all!

Evaluation of the FX-6300. I inserted an Athlon II X4 620 (AM3), but then the motherboard caught fire, leaving me with only an AM3 + mother and an AM3 processor that could only use DDR3 memory. Thanks to AMD, we were able to put off updating the processor for several years while upgrading the motherboard and main memory. Ryzen, its moms, and DDR4 memory were all at least $20,000, so I decided against upgrading for the time being. After analyzing my setup, I discovered that I could easily add CPUs with twice the power of my present one for less than $6-8,000. The Vishera core was selected, and maximum 95W TDP devices were favored. Thus, the FX-6300 with six cores and the FX-8320E with eight cores survived. Despite the 6300's higher clock speeds, I viewed both as interchangeable and opted for the cheaper option, saving up for a Ryzen CPU upgrade in the future. While everything started up smoothly after I replaced the CPU, I did have to eat the BIOS of the motherboard because it did not recognize this processor (there were only a few of the first ones on the Vishera core). The processor's temperature dropped slightly at both idle and load, and performance increased substantially while booting into Windows and launching applications. The awful news now: After applying thermal paste and inserting the processor, I installed the tower cooler. Then I realized that the mosfets would be subjected to an unnecessary thermal load because the cooler's heat pipes were routed directly toward them. Since the cooler held securely, he turned and shifted to the side to begin removing it. The processor cover had a crack when I took it off. Picture is included. To say that I lost my mind would be an understatement. The prior CPU was resistant to having its cooler removed numerous times. In an effort to cut costs, the company switched to using foil for the lids. While it's active.

Pros
  • Costs far less than Intel's equivalent processors. You can get the same performance as on other assemblies by adding radiators for mosfets on the mother if they are not already there and overclocking everything and everything via the FSB on a motherboard with an AM3+ socket. The Vishera core has twice the performance of the prior Propus core while running at a far lower temperature. Technology with a Turbo Core 3.0 saves power.
Cons
  • This is because the CPU has a minimum multiplier of 7, which prevents it from going below 1500 MHz even when not under load. The prior percentage on the Propus core, however, might drop to 800 MHz. Dull cover.
