I didn't buy this with a warranty though you think they'd let me return it like that?

If it's within 30 days, yeah. They may even work with you if its after 30 days, as long as you make the case it's their fault you went with that cpu and you are replacing it with something else from their store. While your at it go snatch up some Nvidia/AMD game vouchers, I do every time I walk in that place,

Nah the CPU is from back in November. The mobo I bought came with the CPU together as a combo so Idk. As for the vouchers you just ask for them??
And also I got a old GTX 550TI I bought from them open box I need to sell that shyt.

Your stuck ass then. Thought you had recently bought it. As far as the vouchers, I just go to the back by build it yourself and tell one of the guys working back there that I have gpu xyz (depends on which voucher I'm after) waiting at customer pickup that doesn't have the vouchers included. Dudes hand it to you right then and there, works every time.

lots of room to work, cable management, space and connections for 5 drives, fans galore...and it's big as fukk.

I feel like throwing this shyt out. I'm literally disgusted with this shyt.
This review is funny for the FX 8350.
-Microcenter.
I'm thnking of returning my old mobo(its the same as the one I have now) using the warranty for the new one.

breh u shouldnt be using ANY stock fans at all. Especially AMD stock fans. Get a cheap after market cooler and you'll see major improvements.

 

[Bboystyle]

Honestly man to fix almost all over heating issues I had or may have had I got a case like this

got 7 fans in it, circulation already right, can add another fan on top of the GPU as well to make it 8 fans..

circulation has a lot to do with over heating as well.. but 9/10 times if my computer over heat its cause the GPU was faulty or something wrong with my CPU heat sink

Thats my AZZA Solano 1000 that im getting on Wednesday...That thing is a BEAST and is a cooling monster from the reviews....them blue led lights

I don't even think getting a new cooler would be worth it for this weak cpu anyway. I don't want to spend money on say a 8350 or 8230 if BF4 is the only game that's going to have a noticeable difference.

Well if its a weak CPU, might as well upgrade. I got the FX-9370 coming after upgrading from the A10-5800k. And the only way u gonna see a difference without upgrading your Graphics card is if you go Intel route.

Man this FX4100 sucks ass. I think I found out whats going on with my framerate dips when rocking BF4.

I had HWmonitor open and had BF4 playing in a window. Framerate was anywhere from 30-70fps vysnc off depending on what was going on. I noticed the temps rising from 50 and it reached about 80c. About a few seconds after that the framerate tanked to the teens and I noticed the CPU temp went down to like 50c or so and then when the framerate went back up the temp went back up. This is on stock cooling too.

bruh I had a AMD FX-4100 black edition and it couldnt even run BF3 right, nothing you do with that processor will make BF4 run right. The CPU is the bottleneck.

you gonna be dissapointed again if you get AMD 8350 or something..

Get i5-3570k or i7-3770k and a new motherboard and call it a day. You gonna spend $200 on a new processor that youll see minimal difference in and its only gonna get you more mad. Spend the $400 on new processor and CPU and see a huge jump in your performance..

my i5-3570k is doing me lovely.
when it comes to cpu's i gotta roll with Intel.

for gaming, not even close.. if I was building a computer for my mom or some shyt though its gonna be AMD to save her money

I'm in the process of tweaking right now to see how much I can get out of it. I'm not going to upgrade yet just for one game. All my other games run fine. My fps that were tanking I pinpointed to my CPU heating up which throttles to save itself.
