Yup. I got a FX4100 and my cuzzin I built him a rig with a fx 6300 the other day.

Might get another FX-8320 or an 8350 to replace the 8320 I fukked by bending the pins

You using the stock heatsink? Is it OC'd?

How the fukk you bend the pins?? That shyt literally sits flush in the socket and bam i snap the cpu lock on and I never touch the CPU again. I'm using a aftermarket cooler, the hyper 212 plus. That shyt keeps my CPU temps so icy under load. It's OC'd to 4.3 from 3.6. Cats were scaring me making me think it may not hold up but I beg to differ. I'm literally playing BF4 48 player matches at 200% resolution which is basically 4K downscaled to 1080P with textures on high and everything else medium settings. Framerate hovers around 30-40fps.

That little dinky heatsink that comes with it made me bend it, I ithink iapplied too much pressure.

What GPU?

If you haven't set an offset in your temps then you're not getting an accurate read. The word icy shouldn't ever be used with AMD FX cpu's....

What you mean? I'm going by the readings in Hwmonitor and in the bios. Compared to the stock heatsink readings, the hyper 212 cooler dropped them considerably.

2GB Radeon HD 7870.

AMD temp readings aren't accurate once you are overclocking(look it up). I can't even tell if they are when stock since shyt be reporting lower temperature than ambient,
