I got this to go with an msi mobo that apparently has heating issue under high loads and lacked at northbridge heatsink....i decided to get this over the 8320 125w version to try and alleviate that. I must say so far so good. The speed is really incredible and its handled everything ive thrown at it without much issues. I did get a coolmaster hyper tx3 to cool and even overclocked slightly it averages 60-70 degrees farenheit. I matched that with the zotac geforce 750 ti and cut my power usage in half at least. I run Fallout 4 on ultra with almost no lag except the occasional hiccup in city areas. I would suggest this to anyone looking to do a budget build or power efficient build. I think as far as price its a better value than the 6300 with more performance on the backend.

I was excited about updating from an older Athlon 64 X2 processor. I am a little surprised that my computer doesn't boot appreciably any faster than it had with an old motherboard and processor. I think some functions run faster but I haven't used it enough to determine if I will ever be thrilled by my upgrade. But the capacitors on my old motherboard were failing--so having a new product that should last a while is an improvement. Maybe I will try to boost the clock speed and see if that helps.

Excellent cpu, I had a 95w 3 core, needed to upgrade. I looked at the FX-8350, 125w, but the 8320 made more sense, 95w. It tends to run at 3500Mhz while in stock, runs cool normally between 20 and 30, using my old Alpine 64 pro cooler (rated for 90w) as it is so much quieter than the stock fan. Turbo's up to 4000Mhz and because it runs cool it does that without any heat capping issues. Not the cheapest, but I believe this is because they are very stable and overclock to the same levels that the 8350 can, I have had no need to overclock so far, plenty fast enough. It has tripled my fps on games.

I ordered this processor for its 8 cores (versus my 4), with lower thermal design power (95W versus my 125W). This means the FX-8320E should run cooler and take advantage of more cores, even though the single-core speed of my older FX-4130 is a bit faster without overclocking. I overclocked the FX-8320E to 4.0GHz, and it runs stable at this speed. I am also not getting as many noisy fan revs as I was with the older CPU. Overall, I have more core power and less noise (less heat for the fans to work away) for a fair price.

Research this processor it is a killer buy with a better CPU COOLER. A 4 Heatpipe Cooler makes it run under 40C @ 4+ GHz stable in a small case. Great Budget 8 Core with performance features. Spend the money you save on a good Cooler/Fan/Heat Sink.
