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

With the Radeon 480 video card, all toys are already at maximum. At what in Crysis and Metro the video card "works to the fullest". In Win 10, the score is already 7.7. In the Sandra benchmark, the superiority over the i5 6500, although with an overclock of 4.2 GHz, is still noticeable - 8.92 versus 7.74 KPT. Has some pros AtlonX4 860K, Asus A88X-Plus board, 2x4GB Samsung 1333 memory (works on 2400), Sapphire Radeon RX480 4GB video card, Plextor PX 128M6S SSD. For comparison, the score in Windows7 is 7.4 , ( i3 -7.3 , i5- 7.6) . With minimal overclocking to 4200 MHz, it becomes already 7.5. By the number of transistors in the processor part - i3 - 504 million, X4 860K - 2410 million (if I'm not mistaken) Windows 8 flies, turns off almost like a TV - instantly. Hardware ratings in Windows8 (Windows7) - processor 7.5 (7.5) memory 7.5 (7.6) graphics - 8.9 (7.9) hard disk 8.1 (7.9) The processor is cold - at first I used the simplest cheap cooler Cooler Master DK9-9ID2A-0L-GP, designed for 65 watts and that was enough. The maximum on such a cooler is 72 in the Aida stress test, at a speed of 1390. In terms of idle power consumption - 45 watts, i3 -44 watts. In terms of speed with SSD, this system is slightly behind Intel systems only in reading - 485 versus 500-520 on i5 (with the same SSD) The rest of the parameters are the same or a little more or less. (according to tests in Cristal Disk Mark) Cons: With the new SATA 3 controllers, it is difficult to install Windows XP, although the board supports this OS. There is a memory write lag. Stub socket.
