Customers are mixed about the temperature of the computer processor. Some mention that they have no heat issues, it runs very cool, and has a good heatsink.

Got this for a budget build for a family member. The rig is used for light gaming and photoshop mostly. For the money this CPU can't be beat. The system is very snappy and can easily handle multiple programs being open at once with little to no lagging. It turbo boosts up to 4.1 GHz at times, but usually runs around 3.8 GHz. With an aftermarket cooler and with some luck in the silicon lottery (binning) one could easily hit a 4.2+ GHz overclock with this CPU. I used an Asus m5A97 R2.0, 8 GB DDR3 1866 RAM, an SSD for the OS, Western Digital Blue 1TB for storage, and an AMD R7 360 2GB. It handles World of Tanks and War Thunder just fine on high with some very high settings, usually running bewtween 45 and 60 FPS @ 900p. In this particular system the GPU is the bottleneck, but if a higher end GPU was used like an R9 380 this would keep up just fine, especially with a little overclocking.The only real downside to this CPU is the cooler it comes with. You get one of the solid aluminum ones, the ones without the heat pipes. With the 125 Watt AMD CPU's a heat sink with a copper base plate and heat pipes is included. For a 95 Watt CPU the cheaper one works, but I'd recommend upgrading to a better one. If you can find a stock heat pipe AMD cooler, that would be an upgrade over the included one as well. The cooler included is a bit on the loud side and cannot handle any overclocking, but it cools well enough on default system settings. This is not enough to deduct a star, though.

Un Excellent rapport qualité prix pour cet AMD FX6300 OC idéal pour du gaming au prix raisonnable bonnes performances aucun décalages, ses six cœurs tourne a merveilles tant sur les jeux qu'en bureautique, pour une petite configuration gaming ou même bureautique ce processeur fera votre bonheur, je l'ait combiné à une 970A-UD3P de chez Gigabyte avec une GTX1050Ti G1 Gaming et c'est juste parfait, température en pleine charge 40 degrés à condition évidemment de mettre un ventirad plus performant car celui livré avec car il est prévu pour de la bureautique donc moindre chauffe, quand on fait du gaming un ventirad avec caloducs est à prévoir pour un refroidissement optimum.
Je recommande fortement ce processeur aux amateur de gaming et bureautique ayant un budget relativement serrer le processeur est à 3.5Ghz avec un mode turbo allant jusqu'à 4.1Ghz donc il est parfait pour du jeu =) !!!

My experience with this CPU has been a noticeable speed boost from my X4 975, and gives superior performance than my Intel i7-960, at *stock* speeds. I haven't OC'ed it except to see whether it was made with OCing in mind. At 4.1 GHz this chip stays cool enough you can get by without having to buy anything gigantic or expensive. Watching a full HD movie on VLC with 10+ tabs open in firefox, chatting on skype+IRC *and* a temp monitor running... this thing hasn't gone above 56% with most cores underclocked via the auto-power-saving features.

The important info follows: *it assumes the buyer is basing their choice on what has the muscle to run their taxing apps, and that the other options being considered are other choices in the same line (though most of this applies when deciding between an i5 and this cpu)*

1. Good single core performance. Articles bothering to measure this are rare, but the FX-6300 actually *outperforms* the more expensive 8-core models in running tasks dependent on individual core performance rather than the number of cores.

I'll cut to the practical info to take from that: multimedia-oriented programs will benefit from more cores (so graphic artists would want more cores) and to a lesser extent, gaming will benefit from greater single-core performance.

*Nobody* mentions this fact, and honestly I'm writing this review primarily to get that information out there, since the default logic would be that if anything the 6 core is definitely inferior to the 4 cores, or that the 8 cores would be faster in every way bar none.

Also, if you're just browsing, checking email and watching youtube and skyping etc... don't worry! 6-cores and the stock 3.5Ghz speed is already way overkill :)

2: When you are weighing how much money to invest in your CPU, the only price/performance comparisons are vs intel's products. This is superior to the 4-core Vishera's hands down..

Spending another 3k-4k for a 8350 or 8320 is either a no brainer upgrade or a complete waste of money depending on your needs. New sockets or redesigned architecture will make the FX line in general obsolete before you start being thankful you splurged for that extra power back when the difference wasn't noticeable. Eg: Not the right component to upgrade for "future proofing".

Put simply; Even everyday users will benefit from an upgrade from the 4-core to 6-core at very little expense for the higher performance, and 6 cores @ the easily OCed 3.5GHz is still ample for intensive desktop use. Even some intensive-program users won't see an improvement worth even $3k more for the upgrade to 8 cores.

Basically, 6 cores is in the "able to handle whatever you're going to throw at it" category, whereas 8 cores is in the "Unless you run a FPS in windowed mode while transcoding a video, you'll probably never utilize the extra performance you dropped cash on, and it'll likely be a matter of speediness rather than true increased capability when it is utilized"

3: Everything out there is requiring less and less power. Not even enthusiasts need 1000 watt PSU's anymore The difference between 125 vs 95 watts TDP may mean a better GPU, more OCing room or just less PSU wear out. Use an online power estimater and you might find the extra 30 watts means letting you use a better GPU or spending less on a PSU! Don't overlook the potential advantages your complete build might have by needing less power than the rest of the piledrivers
