Good am3+ processors ?

[ABC]

currently i have phenom 2 x6 1055t and im satisfied with it but i just cant run apex legend with it because of the sse3 error.Any reccomendations for am3+ processors ?

Does your mainboard support AMD FX CPUs?

[emoticorpse]

8350

[chiefputsilao✖️ping]

just buy something new based on amd ryzen 2000 series now or wait for the incoming 3000 series.

Good AM3+ Processors dont exist.

Even though the FX-8350 is somewhat capable of gaming (if you have a compatible motherboard VRM wise), it still was lacking behind other CPU's when it was new. Now a few years later they are massively outperformed even by budget CPU's

If you still want to use AMD, upgrade to an AM4 system.

if you don't mind used, they are cheap - check out ebay-my an fx-6300 is $35[www.ebay.com.my]

Fx8350 + cm212evo is as good as fx gets if your current mobo takes it.

What GPU plus how much ram have you got?

FX8350 does just fine in Apex Legend ^.

what mobo?

if the mobo is 7xx or 8xx chipset do not put fx in it
fx needs a 970-990fx board to run any better than pii

Even among the 900-series boards, most are not suited for extended use of an 8350.

Define extended 1 month - 48 months??? Ya sure there are total trash mobos but that spans various cpus not limited to FX, hmmmm I wonder what happened to ECS speaking of trash.

there are a few '960' boards, but they are really 760 chipstes
970 and 990fx are the only chipsets designed for fx cpus

there are more than fx 125w cpus
fx4-6 are under 100w

if by extended use you mean overclocking 125+w cpus you are correct
not all 970-990fx boards are capable of running or overclocking 125w cpus

Yea built a few of the FX-6300 and the free 760g boards from micro center, not the best but works well enough for esports...

The 8350 is a 125W tdp cpu. If you try putting that on an MSI 970 Krait or an Asrock 970 Pro3 (or any board with 4+1 or 4+2 vrms), you're going to hit voltage limiters resulting in throttling. And that's normal usage (forget about overclocking). Yeah, FX chips never had competitive IPC, but their reputation wasn't helped by the fact that a lot of AM3 / AM3+ motherboards were (to be kind) ♥♥♥♥.

Only 970 motherboards that were worth a damn were the Gigabyte 970 Ud3P and the Asus 970 Pro Gaming Aura. Both are hard to find these days. Nowadays you might find some cheap 970 boards and maybe some REALLY old 760 boards - but these boards are still in inventory because they were ♥♥♥♥ and no one bought them back in the day.

And good luck trying to find a 990 board. Those were generally built better but even if you find one, the cost simply isn't worth it.

But the list ^ seems a skew, I see GA 970 D3 ver 1.0 claiming 140w however the actual gigabyte site clearly says 95w for FX but goes on to claim PII 125w-140w any how my point being that the list is a bit of a gong show.

There is the FX-8320E, 95w...
