Review: Runs very well. Can have several processes open and still run CPU intensive games. OC's very well if that's your thing. - I've always been an AMD CPU guy, with occasionally having used Intel CPU's here and there for particular purposes, but I always like to use AMD's for desktop builds. One, because let's be honest, AMD is cheaper by a longshot over their Intel competition. Two, because I know that my AMD CPU isn't going to melt at the first time the CPU gets "too hot". While it is well know that AMD CPU's do run hotter and they use more base power than Intel, it's made up for far in fact that AMD CPU's are better designed to handle multiple applications being run simultaneously and AMD CPU's were better built for 3D applications first. Having said that, the 8370 is based on the 9000 series architecture but at a lower wattage and lower overall speed. Granted, you can definitely overclock this particular CPU around 5GHz stable (only on liquid cooling), but why shorten the lifespan of your CPU when AMD offers CPU's that have base clock speeds of 5GHz out of the box (even if they're higher wattage). It should be noted that this particular CPU also holds the world speed record at over 8GHz (on a liquid nitrogen vapor system). I did play around with overclocking this chip a couple times and was able to get a stable 4.5GHz that while I was happy with, decided to not keep and put it back to stock clocks. For whatever particular reason, I got an 8370 that stock clocks at 4.1Ghz instead of the base 4.0, and I'm fine with that. Benchmarking....forget it. Benchmarks are so skewed that it's not even worth trying to "match up" to the competition on how well the chip does. 90% of the Benchmarks of the competitor chip (Intel) are overclock by 1Ghz or even saw some as high as 1.5Ghz over their base clock to get those higher scores. And, not that one would do it, but if you turn off the HT (Hyper Threading) of an Intel chip...it'll fall flat on its face. Intel needs HT in order to bring you the other "cores" in a virtual mode to bring you that performance. While Intel has since released "true" hexacore CPU's in these last few months, the price tag alone is enough to make those CPU's only worthwhile to true enthusiasts (those CPUs run around 1200 bucks to start). So what if your AMD doesn't benchmark as high as the false benchmarked Intel's on the market...it doesn't matter as long as you know that you can open 30 processes and still be able to do something without jittery screen, and still play your favorite CPU extensive game without bogging down the processor.
Review: Good CPU - Hello everyone, I found this on a nice price and I got it, I tested it with a Hyper 212 EVO, I've got nice temperatures with that cooling system, I've seen temperatures between 40-60 °C, that's a nice interval of temperatures, taking into account that I live in a city with an average temperature of 30°C. I never used OEM cooling system and I can't say something about its performance. performance of this CPU has been good on a year of usage, I have gotten stuttering just a few times, playing games offers you a good performance and when you're rendering videos does it fine, I've done it recently and It doesn't take much time doing it. Price-performance relation is very nice, I've been using it with demanding games and programs and It has worked very well, I've been using it with Windows 10 Home Edition and this CPU has taken it well, I think it would work excellent on Linux distributions but I haven't tried yet. I felt very fine working with it ,I recommend this CPU for gaming, I can't be 100% sure about recommending it for video editing because I haven't ever done it until some days ago, have a nice day.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can this out preform the i5**
A: Honestly depending on the type i5. If its the skylake 6600k this cpu cannot.

**Q: Has anyone used this CPU to play any CPU intense games like MMO's for example? I play MMO's and usually average between 15-25 FPS with my current CPU.**
A: Games primarily use the Graphics card to process frame rates. you have to find a balance to what i call the Trinity - GPU, CPU, RAM - I am currently using a stock 8350 and getting 85fps in Far Cry 5 and 100 in WOW- I also have a water cooled 1070 and 32gb 2133mhz memory... get my point? this is why i can save on the cpu. Spend your money in that order

**Q: Can i Use This One a Gigabyte AM1M-S2H**
A: No you cannot use this CPU. The URL Link Below will show you which CPUs you can use on this mother board http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-Gigabyte/GA-AM1M-S2H%28rev._1.0%29.html

**Q: I purchased the CPU, but I am getting 4000 Mhz clock speed instead of 4300. Is it safe to overclock to the advertised speed in your page?**
A: This CPU is 4ghz, NOT 4.3ghz...  I consider this advertisement fraud and I returned the 8370 because of this reason.   I also have a 8320 @ 3.5ghz which I overclocked to 4.6ghz (1.45v) and a 8350 @ 4ghz which I overclocked to 4.9ghz (1.44v) - both of my CPUs run in "cool and quiet" mode with turbo turned OFF (medium LLC).     Honestly, there is no reason for people to LIE and call this a 4.3ghz CPU, it is NOT.  8370 = 4ghz, this is the same as 8350 (which is $40 cheaper).I am 100% stable on my OC's and I run Battlefield 4 all day long at 90fps/1080p/ultra, temps never go above 62c. So....  If people are saying that the 8370 can't overclock past 4.3ghz, I would consider it to be COMPLETE JUNK and my FX8320 (which is $100 cheaper), AND my FX8350($40 cheaper) will out perform the FX8370.   My OC'ed 8350 gets equal benchmark scores on PassMark Performance tests as I7-5820k.  I even beat the I7-5820k with FX8350 OC'ed on some CPU tests.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Holy crap this is fast
*by M***W on December 30, 2014*

I don't know why I decided to splurge but I ended up splurging a little and now I'm broke but have smooth framerates in games that use more CPU than GPU. I'm just stunned on how fast this thing is. 4ghz out of the box, and 4.3ghz OC with stock thermal fan. But that's not just one core, but EIGHT! Holy crap this is fast! It's a REAL SHAME that most of the cores are running idle because hardly anything supports 8 cores. But boy did it improve my gaming and it makes my oculus DK2 run smooth at 75hz. Skyrim does work smoothly at 120fps with an ASUS HD6950 (a monster of a card still to this day) but I have it set to 60fps for stability reasons. I'm looking forward to writing some programs that uses all 8 cores just for kicks and this truly is over kill. You COULD spend another $50 for the fastest AMD card on the market (that isn't $1000) but in my opinion, you should spend that $50 on a new game and enjoy this insane thing. Now the real question, does it outclass intel's processors? Yes and no. This is all up to you but some of what intel offers way outclass this processor but there's no game today or next year and perhaps the year after that will require that kind of performance. Those looking to benefit from those kind of processors are into CAD, or anything that needs to render (and actually supports that many cores). If you're debating between buying this card or the other one that's $30 cheaper (I think it was the FX-7800?), the performance difference is worth the $30 according to various reviews I found online. As a bonus I got a free game with this, but it comes as a steam code. You get to choose between 4 or 5 games, but it's only good til the promotion ends. If you get a rebate offer, don't forget about it!
