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.

Intel Core i3-4130 CPU Processor

Fit perfect in the socket and fast delivery.
The Intel Core i3 4130 uses the new LGA 1150 socket, clocked at 3.40GHz. This CPU packs a hell of punch.
Installation was perfect and with no problems attaching to mainboard.
This the first socket 1150 I have purchased and the computer booted up like a champ.
Installed easily. Running great.

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.

Intel Core i3-4130 CPU Processor

If I have multiple windows open, everything runs smoothly and things load fast with it.
This chip is fast enough for all of your basic tasks and the price is right.
Great processor for everyday computing and even a little gaming!
Install went flawlessly and it works great. Really really fast CPU.
Good, fast CPU. The fan it comes with is pretty basic.

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..

Intel Core i3-4130 CPU Processor

Paired with a nice amount of memory, it's been better than I expected any i3 to be.
Entry level gaming performance is pretty impressive.
Fast processor. Works well with a lot of memory.
Enough cache for a comfortable game.
Works great with 32GB of storage. Overclocked memory to full. Excellent performance.
