Upgrade from FX-4130
2 of 2 found this helpful I ordered this processor for its 8 cores (versus my 4), with lower thermal design power (95W versus my 125W). This means the FX-8320E should run cooler and take advantage of more cores, even though the single-core speed of my older FX-4130 is a bit faster without overclocking. I overclocked the FX-8320E to 4.0GHz, and it runs stable at this speed. I am also not getting as many noisy fan revs as I was with the older CPU. Overall, I have more core power and less noise (less heat for the fans to work away) for a fair price.

Great performance for the price
2 of 2 found this helpful This processor works great on my old motherboard. It can't be beat for the price. I was even able to unlock it to a 4 core on a newer motherboard, but it went back to X2 after reboot. It is still a great little CPU though.

Worked on first try
Solidly built product. I had to look back to the pictures to figure out the installation, but it's pretty straightforward. There are also YouTube videos on how to install similar devices. After the first one, I ended up ordering two more for other builds.
