I got the fx 8320. Worth upgrading to a fx 8350.

[Watch4Cliff]

Early this summer a built my curent gaming pc. I got everthing in correctly except for my cpu. I had ordered a fx 8350 for my gtx 780 biuld, but I got a 8320 in the mail( dont know if it was on my end or thier's). At the time I did not care because this was my first biuld and I was so excited that I was just like "wtf ever I finaly have a gaming pc". (was waiting for well over a year)
But now I am wondering if having one or the other makes a "noticeable" differance in performance, or bottle necks my gtx 780, and if it does would it be worth selling the 8320 for a 8350.

No there will be no noticeable difference, And i doubt your gpu is being bottlenecked since thats one of the Top end AMD processores. Just a heads up people on this forum might tell you you need an i5 build ignore that

No, there really is no serious difference between 8320 and 8350 as they are both very close in performance and are both from the Vishera family.

Now if u were comparing and older Zambezi to the newer Vishera, then there can be noticable differences in terms of both heat, performance and overclock-ability.

No way is your CPU a bottleneck for your GPU. One of my main setups here is 8320 w/ SLI 770 4GB and it's scaling just fine on my 120Hz screen. I even tried it with 3-way-SLI and it was just fine. Course that is overkill and expensive, so not like I purchased a 3rd card, just borrowed. But again, I do this all day long and build many various setups for customers to fit their needs. AMD is not as popular overall, but still the performance for the money is still good. Just a lack of good AM3+ motherboards IMHO.

Overall, you should've reviewed your order confirmation and/or returned the CPU if it was wrong on their part. If it was your fault, well not much u could do. You could've still returned it, long as it's not used I suppose, and within the retailers return policy, etc.

What motherboard do u have? This can play a major role when comes to FX-8 series performance.

If it's their fault that they sent you the wrong one then you can probably get the free replacement. Don't pay for it.

IF it's your fault then rather than replace it I recommend getting some really nice cooling and overclocking. You can likely overclock to FX 8350 speeds (4Ghz and 4.2Ghz Turbocore) no problem, maybe even on the same voltage. I think you can probably also hit similar maximum speeds beyond that. If you really want to go at it then watercooling is best. If you want to do it more mildly or just are afraid of leaking then $60-$100 on a great air-cooler will still do small wonders for your maximum overclock speeds.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Yes it's easy to OC such CPU, depending on your motherboard and cooling.

On this particular setup, I'm using ASUS Sabertooth 990FX Rev2 w/ CM Hyper212 EVO.
No problem OC'ing to 4.6Ghz quite easily from BIOS with just a few minor changes.
I did however disable Cool&Quiet, C1E and TURBO.

With this board though, I has some issues with Win7 at first, until I changed the UEFI Mode in BIOS to "Legacy Mode" which seems like u pretty much have to do if u are not using Win8.

I could have sworn that the order said fx 8350 I checked the whole order 5 times but still I guess I still could have messed up. From what it sounds like I would much rather just enjoy my pc rather than start a big amizon serch for the seller and call someone up, seens school is about to start up. Once I am settled in I might start to look into what happened with the order and replace mine if it was there falt.

asus m5a99fx pro r2.0

If u'r going to mess with the order, u most likely need to do that right away and get that sorted. Once u surpass a return policy term, u will have no option to return, refund, exchange the product.

Do you have a printed receipt, or email receipt?
Does it say 8320 or 8350?

Anyways get that sorted out quickly, if time hasn't run out already.

[Rove]

That's really pretty good. Not the very best but good enough to push a great overclock.

I personally have the ASUS M5A 99X Rev 1.x and a FX 8150. I have not done any overclocking yet at all. Maybe in a few years when I actually think I need more performance.

Overall they can OC quite well and/or further on Liquid Cooling. But still, ensure u have good airflow through your case with liquid cooling installed, to help ensure u don't have hot-spots.

First thing to do however is rid yourself of the AMD stock cooler. It's small, loud and just not enough to keep the FX-8 CPUs from reaching 60*C+ in most setups. If you want good but cheap cooler, CM Hyper212 EVO is very good, effective cooler given it's low price.

I know how return policy works. I was just checking to see if it was even worth messing with. I have been having a lot of fun on this computer and if it is just a minor differance im not even sure It is worth the two weeks I will be with out it. Thanks for the help and advise.

+ 1 hyper 212 evo is great my temps are at 34c with a 3570k

I have that and the r4 case with 2 extra fans

[Watch4Cliff]

so is the whole i5 vs 83** just over the mother bords?
I got the 83** for the extra cores seens future games will use them.

No people have an obsession with intel and Amd, and it doesnt matter, theyres only a 3-4 frame difference between the two cpu's

[banzaigtv]

The only difference is a faster clock speed. Not to suggest an i5 build as shobhit550 complained about, this should be a better option.
