August 15, 201213 yr Hi guys anyone have this to run FSX, some people claim can OC to 5.5ghz easily which is better than my i72600k This would make a great difference to my fsx experience anyone have any feedback or use this or is it rubbish? Thanks Wayne. http://fs2crew.com/banners/Banner_FS2Crew_MJC_Supporter.png Wayne HART
August 15, 201213 yr AMD FX processor's microarchitecture is not good solution for gaming purposes. Often FX overclocked at 4,6 GHz is less efficient than i5 2500 working with it's default speed (3.3 GHz). Beside very poor efficiency in games, FX series processors have horrible high power consumption while OC. At 4,6 GHz it reaches up to 300W more than in idle state. Wish you luck to keep it at safe temperature's range.See here: http://www.guru3d.com/article/amd-fx-8150-processor-review/7
August 15, 201213 yr 5.5GHz? Not without cooling to sub-ambient temperature, hardly "easy". Besides, as the poster above stated, AMD's CPUs, the FX line in particular, are terribly inefficient compared to Intel chips of the same generation.
