What customers say about "Details"
AMD FX-6300 CPU Processor
  • Good performance with fast memory. Good price as well.
  • The Phenom II 965 had a weaker memory controller than this FX series processor, I am very pleased to see my options increased for overclocking my ram if I so choose.
  • Bought this as part of a gift (built a media center pc) and it is quite fast and perhaps overkill of HD but not so much for 4k content (have yet to try it since I don't have a 4K display yet).
  • I tried using the Turbo boost, and only got to 3.7ghz with a aftermarket cooler, and the CPU will have cache faults frequently.
  • Thats not good at all, in fact the CPU started slowing itself down to prevent damage. This means I was actually getting a SLOWER processer than I paid for.
AMD Phenom II X6 1055T CPU Processor
  • Installed with ease. Arrow matches up on motherboard AM3 socket and clipped into place nicely.
  • Speedy, easy to OC. Installation was easy with AM3.
  • This CPU with my GIGABYTE GA-MA785GM-US2H worked great. Good socket.
  • Have had this CPU since Sept 2010, and it's still going as strong as on day one. Was easy install with this AM3 socket.
  • The socket is getting old, since this beast outlasts the general lifespan of CPU tech.

What customers say about "Technical Specifications"
AMD FX-6300 CPU Processor
  • The AMD FX-6300 is an excellent CPU. Being a six core, it already has an advantage over the more standard quad-core options.
  • Upgraded my mothers Desktop PC from an old Pre-Built HP (quad-core) to this FX-6300 - 6-core and what a difference. Even though these processors are an older generation, they still kick out a very very good performance for the price.
  • It certainly is an old chip at this point, but the price to performance is still one of the best.
  • It has been stress tested for the past 5 minutes. No crashes and the temperature seems stable at 39 degress celcius. The CPU is overclocked using the OC Genie of the MSI Motherboard.
  • The only thing that should have been improved is the stock cooler. The temperature on this CPU measures at around 66°C at full load, which to me, is not really acceptable.
