Review on πŸ’ͺ AMD FD6300WMHKBOX FX-6300 Black Edition: 6-Core Processor with Unparalleled Performance by Adam Woods ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product, not disappointed.

The FX-6300 is the subject of the review that was written. I have a lot of experience with iron, and I appreciate AMD for the way it handles its price policy. It came as a great relief to me when they announced that they will finally be releasing something worthwhile for the new series, and not these flawed 6100-6200 and other processors with the same number of cores. Changed over from a Phenom x4 965 running at 3.4 GHz. The change was successful on two fronts: first, productivity rose by 10-15% once it was implemented. However, the most important factor is the amount of energy used. If the old hair dryer overheated like a stove even with copper fan cooling from Thermaltake, reaching 32 degrees when it was idle and reaching 55-57 degrees when it was operating, then this is a miracle in just 8-10 degrees, reaching a maximum of 32-34 degrees when the processor is under full load. People who have something heated there should get rid of the boxed cooling that comes with the CPU (or better yet, buy OEM without it) and invest in a regular aluminum cooler with copper tubes for around 400–600 rubles. This cooler will be sufficient for you, it will not heat up, and it will have a cooler howl.

Pros
  • 1. The price-to-performance ratio is superior to that of comparable processors made by Intel 2. The amount of power that is consumed has been significantly reduced in comparison to the AMD Phenom series. 3. In comparison to the FX 6100 and FX 6200 that came before it, all of the bottlenecks have been eliminated (the first one was less productive than the Phenoms, while the second one heated up like a stove).
Cons
  • 1. The design of the processor requires caution while working with the legs because they are pliable and can bend. 2. A mother board with a socket AM3+ that is not too old (or the corresponding BIOS firmware for earlier models) There are no other issues to be concerned about.
