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.

What customers say about "Cache And Memory Specifications"

AMD FX-6300 CPU Processor

Good performance with fast memory. Good price as well.
This is a great processor if you are doing multiple things at once on your computer, remember to check the memory you have or what you will put in there because is slower then normal.
This cpu is good for everything and if you combine with an AMD graphic and 8gb of ddr3 memory ram gonna be one of the faster pc on your neighborhood !!!
It's clocked at 1.2V and a clock speed of 3.5gh right our of the box. It has 8mb of cache. Recommend to anyone for there first build. Cheap with 6 cores and 3.5gh for 100 dollars nothing can beat it..
