FX 8300 or FX 8320 or FX8350

Azhureus · Jan 14, 2015

Okay lads, next dilemma.

I wanna upgrade from FX 6300 to any FX 83xx, BUT. Some one says, ''The FX 8350 is different architecture than any 83xx, so it is still better, than overclocked 8300 or 8320''. I think it's not different, it is same Vishera architecture no?. So if I wanna upgrade, it's enought to buy 8300/8320 and OC it right ?

The 6300 and 8320, 8350 and 8370 are all Piledriver based chips. There is no difference in the architecture. However, many boards that support FX6 chips natively, are not of sufficient quality for FX8 chips, or FX 8 core overclocking. This isn't true in all cases, it's a board by board matter. You can take a look at the tier list and determine that for yourself.

The 8320, 8350 and 8370 are IDENTICAL chips, but are binned differently. I have yet to find an 8320 that cannot be overclocked to the same speeds at the other two.

Yes, the 8320 can be overclocked to 8350 frequencies. Before you do, what motherboard do you have? Check on the various tabs on https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AgN1D79Joo7tdE9xMUFlMEVWeFhuckJEVF9aMmtpUFE&gid=0 to make sure it isn't know for VRM problems and might overheat or burn when trying to overclock an eight-core FX.
