Of course, Intel will be read, with its core i5 equivalent size cruppers AMD. In pure performance on game benchmark, certainly ... Meanwhile, everyone is free to pay the price of gold processor !!! And especially if, like me, it does not operate all its power! This AMD FX6300, criticized in the press for its operating temperature and consumption, gives me complete satisfaction and this, for the price of a Pentium G entry. Cooled by an Arctic Freezer 13, he purrs quietly at 25 ° C in office mode. It allowed me to go to my config for a modern soft budget and saccommode perfectly my Gigabyte 970A DS3P. It is true that I came out of a Athlon XP 2800+ become limited (very) under XP SP3. With Seven Pro 64bit FX and it is another world! Of course, and this is also true for its competitors, forget the original cooler and install a real cooler. He will thank you. Frankly, I do not see the point to deliver this type of CPU cooler with barely more efficient than my old Athlon! This explains the smallness of the box! The Artic Freezer is a good companion to the FX6300. As for games, it's going to laugh geeks but I stayed in Half-Life 2 and Quake 4, so no worries, of course! It seems that it is better to involve a AMD graphics card, that's what I did, Sapphire HD7850 with 1GB at low prices ... In summary, a processor recommended for those who do not put their money in their PC!
