I have this exact same processor and I use SpeedFan and It says it's burning very hot I have tried 2 other heat sinks and even going on Facebook I get 60c+ and it sounds like a jet engine I tried defaulting the bios and upgrading to the newest one everything i'm using is compatible.

@ThePimbax I have the same processor and the stock cooler they give you is not loud but it is not very efficient when playing games.id recommend getting an aftermarket cooler for high end gaming or overclocking.
Im not a fan boy. I was an AMD fan, iu had 1055t and my friend had a quad 2.ghz dell desktop and that thing beat mine. I regret buying AMD. Intel is better than amd. why do you think its more expensive for?
@paulocelestial It's a simple fact. Sandybridge blows the doors off of anything AMD puts out now. Bulldozer is generally a joke unless you're using extremely heavily threaded apps, and then you're still better off with a 2600k.
hey!! I have ASUS Crosshair V Formula and Phenom II 1090T... Today I attempted to install an AMD FX-6100 CPU like yours but then the screen is completely black when booting up... I was pissed... My friend told me I needed the latest BIOS...
Can you tell me the version of your BIOS? I have the first BIOS that came out (came with the board)
i just got one a 8120. using a 750 psu, 6950 and a corsair h60. i have it overclocked at 4.5 ghz @ 1.464 volts. the idle temp is 38. Just though id let people know if they are interested in oc'ing this cpu. Its very easy.
I just got a fx 4100 what kind of power supply should I use? I'm using a coolermaster extreme power plus 500w and my pc won't post. Can someone please help me?
dude i know this is the FX 8120 one but how much does FX6100 need power ? I have no idea what PSU wattage il take. P.S il have a budget so dont tell me do take like corsair 1800wat
@TheIdiotNamedR0ppu I use one XFX 650Watts Phenom X4 4.0GHz + HD 6870, Starting at the point that the FX8120 is 125W, not 140W Like the Phenom you can take a 650-850Watts PSU
Stock compound is horrible, it's so cheap. Soon as I got my 8120 I took it off and compared to my buddies same one I run easy 8 degrees less then him when using diamond dust compound. Stock heat sinks are horrible as well. People are better off spending the extra 50-100 bucks on a H series cooling system. I run a H40 with noctua fans and it runs nice and cool :) well worth the 50 bucks
go fuck i have test this cpu and is very very good overclock easilly to 4.6 but i dont go better because is fine like this and go fuck with intel what is expensive..!
it is a cheap cpu that is easy and safe to overclock even with air coolers, it is not yet fully supported by windows but w.e... for gaming it is more than good enough.
@fmmjqtft1 This is BIT-TECH Conclusion..--AMD FX-8150 Conclusion, it’s terribly unsuited to the kinds of software we’re currently using on consumer PCs. This software is still heavily reliant on single-thread performance, and the FX-8150 just doesn’t have that. As such it’s woefully slow in a range of everyday applications. Worse still, it had mediocre performance in well-threaded desktop applications that should have played to the more parallel design of the CPU.
@fmmjqtft1 ACTUALLY "YES"... Facts are facts, and you are ignorant of those facts.
I'm not trying to convince you, and i'm not going to post 20 more, unless everyone wants to see me embarrass you a little more. OH, and I haven't posted RAW data because of limit of how many charcters You Tube lets you post," it won't fit."..
LOL.. you lose this argument, and I see you have reached the "DENIAL" phase of this process, I guess you can just go on believing what you want
"ARS TECHNICA" "Bulldozer shows a significant reduction in single-threaded performance relative to the Phenom II. So great is the drop that even when run in multithreaded mode, the eight concurrent threads on Bulldozer can't keep up with the Phenom II's six threads, or even Intel chip's four." "These are bad results for AMD. The FX-8150 is more expensive than the Phenom II X6 1100T, yet in typical desktop workloads its performance is no better, and sometimes even worse. Case Closed
Phenom II1100 Thuban 6 core is better..Bulldozer fails at single threaded applications.PERIOD.. MY Sabertooth 990FX won't be getting a CRAPDOZER soon.
Because of this, remaining PHENOM II processors are almost selling out everywhere..
On a side note, the Phenom II X4 960T Zosma has the potential of unlocking into a 6 core for $125.00, just ordered one to see if I hit the lottery..I just sold a Phenom II 720 Triple c BE that unlocked into a quad core.. paid $75.00 a year and a half ago..
@AKCOdin Wrong. If cores are used in the right order (1,3,5,7 first), single threaded performance is much better on the bulldozer cpus. If you disable alternate cores, you can overclock very easily to 5ghz, and have a CPU with 80% the gaming performance of a 5ghz 2500k.
Otherwise, 8-threaded performance is comparable to a 2600k (sometimes more sometimes less). 1100t is now obsolete. The fx-6100 is incredibly cheap, can overclock much higher, and is faster than 1100t.
@fmmjqtft1 Why would I want to "DISABLE" cores that I just "PAID FOR".? I'm not going to disable any cores on a 6 CORE just so I can OC the chip..
I have seen a Phenom II out-perform a bulldozer in single threaded apps...
I really do not care about the Bulldozer if it is being outperformed by a 2500K,
to release a new chip that under performs in single threaded apps compared to it's predecessor at stock settings is bad. Most people want a chip they don't have to adjust in their bios
2. The purpose of disabling alternate cores in a bulldozer CPU is not to allow better over-clocking, but to use one core per module instead of sharing resources. This gives a 30% single-thread boost already. When patches are released that fix the scheduling issue, there will be no need to disable cores.
My point is that fx-8120 is better than the 1100t for EVERYTHING, I am not claiming anything else.
@fmmjqtft1 I was using "EXAMPLES", are you really that retarded..?
Most people that are going to "PAY" for 6 or "8" cores are definately not going to want to be "FORCED" to disable cores they just "PAID FOR", or did you not understand the "POINT" I made..?? The normal CONSUMER wouldn't know how to disable cores so they could ALMOST compete with an Intel chip.. So you're saying that a 6 core Bulldozer does single threads as good as a 1100 thuban..??
@AKCOdin Actually you were using one example not examples. Anyway, #2 still holds. Disabling alternate cores is a temporary fix for the scheduling issue that ruins single threaded performance, not just for over-clocking.
Your point about "paying for" the cores is irrelevant. You pay for the processor. If disabling cores gives you better performance (for now), it is worth doing. Also, it is not the same as disabling whole cores, since parts of the cores are shared.
@AKCOdin continued: The normal consumer would know how to disable cores. There is actually no skill in assembling a computer. It is fun, but nothing more than unboxing some toys and sticking them together. The BIOS has a very easy GUI on consumer motherboards.
And yes, I am saying that the fx-6100 does single threads better than the 1100t, because it is true.
@fmmjqtft1 This is just a quote from "OVERCLOCKERS"DOT NET after a benchmark, so don't get mad at me
"In single-threading apps (still a lot of them about), Bulldozer's performance stinks. There's no other word for it. It's significantly slower clock-for-clock than Phenom II. Significantly."In all the reviews I have read this comes up, review after review.
Another quote... "In games, the FX is never a leader, and in many instances it's slower than a four-core Phenom II. So i'm wrong?
@fmmjqtft1 I "OWN" a Computer repair/networking business, and right there you are "WRONG", 99% of my customers do not even know how to pronounce "BIOS" correctly, they simply want to "PUSH THE BUTTON AND MAKE IT GO", and that is an exact quote I have heard many, many times... I can, and will post Benchmarks from several other sites with the amount of characters You tube will let me apply here.
SO, do you really want me to go ahead and embarrass you with RAW data.. Well.??
@AKCOdin I have seen many Benchmarks, and in almost all of them the low-threaded performance of the bulldozer is worse than the Phenom II, so don't bother posting the benchmarks because I have seen them already.
However, as I have said many times, I am talking about the performance when the threads are scheduled correctly, or when alternate threads are disabled. There is a reported 30% improvement, which easily puts it above the Phenom II.
@fmmjqtft1 "Bulldozer shows a significant reduction in single-threaded performance relative to the Phenom II. So great is the drop that even when run in multithreaded mode, the eight concurrent threads on Bulldozer can't keep up with the Phenom II's six threads, or even Intel chip's four." "These are bad results for AMD. The FX-8150 is more expensive than the Phenom II X6 1100T, yet in typical desktop workloads its performance is no better, and sometimes even worse.
@AKCOdin No one needs to know how to pronounce "BIOS" in order to use it to adjust settings, so that is irrelevant. I know, you are using this as an example to illustrate your customers technical illiteracy. Well, I can believe that 99% of your customers are technically illiterate, but that is obvious.
Most customers who go to Burger King buy burgers. If a customer doesn't need a burger or other fast food, they wouldn't go to Burger King.
@fmmjqtft1 You have lost all touch with reality... 99% of Computer users never FLASH their "BIOS" let alone know what to do once the get into it, or how to enter BIOS..
Most computer users just want to hit the power button, boot up, and surf, or play some online game... Being technically illterate is a poor term for you to use, My point is RELEVANT, and you have an over developed sense of self worth, youre like the teenager that screws his computer up, then shows up so "I" can fix it.
@AKCOdin If you want to argue against what I am actually saying: "fx-8120 is better than 1100t for everything", which I have already explained, then do so, but don't keep posting random deviations about "people" and "customers" and "paying", because I really don't give a shit.
Businessmen are retarded. They think about only 2 things: people and money, nothing else. LOL I'd like to see you solve a maths problem, you'd probably try to "empathise" with it in order to find a proof.
@fmmjqtft1 Well then, don't reply again because you "KNOW" that when I pull out the benchmarking stats, and the other test results that the argument is over right there.. The FX-8120 in it's current form is "NOT" better than the 1100 Thuban at single threaded apps, HECK, some of the Phenom II x4 out perform the FX series in single threaded apps... Go lock your alternating cores... Pay for an 8 core, you should have an 8 core.
@fmmjqtft1 "Bulldozer shows a significant reduction in single-threaded performance relative to the Phenom II.

Iam using phenom2x4 940 its good. friend of mine he has i7 2500k,he complaining while playing games the graphic is not good even the old i7 860 was much better. It`s true or not.the graphic was disgraced in 2500k or 2600k, not talking about performance.

windows7 and beta 8 core assignment as of now 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 bad, bad ,bad
windows 8 full release 0,2,4,6,1,3,5,7
same crap happened to athlon x2's when the patches were made intel got a beating they will remember for a long time.
seems to me everyone is back on the wagon and screaming fail, I'll be laughing if the past comes back to haunt intel fanbois or the jumpers that fail to remember.
@Techaholic101 The stock coolers from AMD are not that bad. But they are designed for stock. It's loud, you won't hear it over the case fans for sure.
@Techaholic101 A got this proc and I have a new case, PSU, mainboard and Ram for it. I will buy next month a better cooler. The stock is horible from one point: when the proc start doing something the fan speeds up and makes noise like a vacuum cleaner.
=/ disappointing for AMD this release, i really wanted to see intel take the performance crown for once..... shared resources.... HA 8 traditional cores would have been so much better >.<
@ElectricMuffinDude It is not bad per-say but definitely doesn't live up to what we expected. If you already have a decent rig I would wait for something better. If your building a new computer I think a AMD BD and 990FX chipset board is good decision. There 4/6 core chips are nice doesn't have to be a 8 core.
@ElectricMuffinDude Very unhelpful comment. This processor is not "really really bad". It is a good choice for AMD users. I don't believe AMD designed this processor to be "The best", unlike many people have assumed. It is just suppose to be "one" of the best. And I believe it has every capability of doing that.
@Techaholic101 For AMD users with an AM3 mb im sure it's an good chocie, unfortunatly amd has promoted this cpu as the best withch it is clearly not it shouldent even cuallify as good. How can i tell you that becasue i own it. I could write down 50+ reasons why it's an bad choice but i wont. Go and read up.
I wish they designed the best though. AMD did a very good job on the Phenom II x4s and the X6s by the way, the Phenom II X4 975 BE is the best option for someone who cannot afford the intel 2500K. What they did wrong with the bulldozer is they kept saying it was going to be as good as the intel core i series but it fell really short in most benchmarks. What saddened we AMD fans was that the X6 1090t and 1100t beat the bulldozer on some benchmarks...so..it is a good chip but...
@Techaholic101 In terms of maximum performance (when all threads are used), the fx-8150 is as good as the i7-2600k (on most of the linux benchmarks). The fx-8120 can be overclocked to be just as good. When software and OSes are optimised, it will beat the 2600k. (but obviously not in low threaded programs).
@Techaholic101 And it has FMA4 and XOP instructions that no Intel CPU has so far. I read on the wiki that Intel will add FMA3 in 2013. And one more thing we need new compilers to make use of those instructions :D
@Techaholic101 all 8 cores performs worse then Phenom 2 6 cores, i won't even compare it to quad core i5 2500k, cuz i5 just rapes it. so this CPU is really really bad.
@ElectricMuffinDude Do not listen to that comment! Its not a good idea because ElectricMuffinDude didn't realize that its Windows not recognizing all 8-core properly!
@ElectricMuffinDude by no means is it really bad. It may not be the smartest as a consumer to buy this but its not a bad chip either. For those that already have an AM3+ board and are looking for a cpu upgrade, the new bulldozer cores is your better bet.
Now if you're looking entirely for a new system, then maybe you should look else where (intel perhaps? or maybe an older tech?)
I'm sorry guys. I'm trying to get quality reviews for you, if I would've posted a video last night it wouldn't have been. I hope to have something for you soon.
For those of you who dont believe me, i suggest checking out tom's hardware on cpu review. You will see more than 20 benchmarking tests and 2500k comes on top for about 15 of them... 2500k beats my 2600k on some tests by about 0.01% haha!
@desertfox1792 No need I should have a few benchmarks up tonight. I'm just working on the editing now. Sorry my RAM took a crap on me, so I've been diagnosing that.
@desertfox1792 Not a flop just consumes more power and doesn't run quite as fast as 2500K as what was fist thought. If you run a computer which need all 8 cores like rendering or similar tasks its a great chip to have.
@madoo87 The only thing this processor loses to a 2500k is in single threaded benchmarks and in SOME games. But consider that each core in an FX processor isn't an entire core, it's not exactly an apples to apples comparison. A core from an i5 or hell, even a Phenom II isn't = to a core in a Bulldozer. It will never be truly comparable since the way the architecture is designed, so overall performance per dollar is more important.
I will not say that it is the 2600K killer, competitor, oh ya. Definitely. It does beat the 2500K however, and that is the price range it is in. So people that are really bashing the FX 8000 series for not being the biggest and baddest things on the block should take its price into consideration as they have with every other AMD processor.
@Techaholic101 Considering Intel owns a huge marketshare, they also own the minds of the Intel sheep who do not realize this. Yes, AMD FX doesn't obliterate the i7 2600K, but in some multi-threaded cases it gets close or surpasses it for a lot cheaper. It boils down to price/performance and AMD's FX isn't any different. I think another thing people should realize is that it's really not a true 8-core processor, but rather something else entirely different. (Just a fail on AMD marketing)

Just a side note to everybody. Make sure you upgrade your motherboard BIOS before you install this processor. Trust me it is for the best. I plugged in the 8120 without updating, I received just a blank screen, my monitor never recognized the pc was on. Luckily I had an Athlon II that I was able to plug in to flash it, or else I would've been out of luck. Once I flashed it, everything worked fine.
@Techaholic101 i dont have any other CPU's and the 8150 will be my first one :S i'm using a ASROCK 870 EXTREME3 R2.0 AM3+ ATX it says that my MoBo has 8-core cpu support.
@yonathandavid11 Well I just checked out your motherboard real quick. It does look like it will support the new FX series. However, I'm not sure it will do it without the update. Especially with the older chipset. Oh and BTW, I wouldn't recommend spending the extra 40-50 bucks on the 8150. It is only stock clocked faster. They are the same processor. Just a thought. I understand if overclocking may be something your skeptic of, but that is essentially what they've done for you.
@Techaholic101 I think i'll save the 40-50 bucks and buy the FX-8120 and overclock it to 4,0Ghz or 3,6. something a long those lines, not to high. the H80 is gonna be great for that :)
@yonathandavid11 Exactly! Great choice. If you know what your doing (which isn't hard) you'll end up with just as good or better than the 8150 stock. Its all dollars to AMD & Intel when they offer different speeds of the same thing. If you know what I mean.
@yonathandavid11 So I did some checking into it for you, and it looks like you'll actually be ok without a BIOS update. The last BIOS update for your motherboard was in September which was before the FX series came out, obviously. I'm not 100% on that though. I had an update come up for my motherboard the night before the FXs were released. (the 11th)
@desertfox1792 Honestly...I have to admit it has yet to "wow" me. However, I don't blame the processor for that. I will be running my own benchmarks and what not soon. I have ran several with my Phenom II X4, and I will be comparing it to those.
i was thinking of i7 980, hmm the i5 is faster even when i OC the fx to 5ghz?

@fmmjqtft1 This is BIT-TECH Conclusion..--AMD FX-8150 Conclusion, it’s terribly unsuited to the kinds of software we’re currently using on consumer PCs. This software is still heavily reliant on single-thread performance, and the FX-8150 just doesn’t have that. As such it’s woefully slow in a range of everyday applications. Worse still, it had mediocre performance in well-threaded desktop applications that should have played to the more parallel design of the CPU.

Phenom II1100 Thuban 6 core is better..Bulldozer fails at single threaded applications.PERIOD.. MY Sabertooth 990FX won't be getting a CRAPDOZER soon.
Because of this, remaining PHENOM II processors are almost selling out everywhere..
On a side note, the Phenom II X4 960T Zosma has the potential of unlocking into a 6 core for $125.00, just ordered one to see if I hit the lottery..I just sold a Phenom II 720 Triple c BE that unlocked into a quad core.. paid $75.00 a year and a half ago..

@AKCOdin Wrong. If cores are used in the right order (1,3,5,7 first), single threaded performance is much better on the bulldozer cpus. If you disable alternate cores, you can overclock very easily to 5ghz, and have a CPU with 80% the gaming performance of a 5ghz 2500k.
Otherwise, 8-threaded performance is comparable to a 2600k (sometimes more sometimes less). 1100t is now obsolete. The fx-6100 is incredibly cheap, can overclock much higher, and is faster than 1100t.
fmmjqtft1 2 months ago
@fmmjqtft1 Why would I want to "DISABLE" cores that I just "PAID FOR".? I'm not going to disable any cores on a 6 CORE just so I can OC the chip..
I have seen a Phenom II out-perform a bulldozer in single threaded apps...
I really do not care about the Bulldozer if it is being outperformed by a 2500K,
to release a new chip that under performs in single threaded apps compared to it's predecessor at stock settings is bad. Most people want a chip they don't have to adjust in their bios
AKCOdin 2 months ago
@AKCOdin Looks like you are wrong again, LOL:
1. fx-8120 is an 8 core chip not a "6 CORE".
2. The purpose of disabling alternate cores in a bulldozer CPU is not to allow better over-clocking, but to use one core per module instead of sharing resources. This gives a 30% single-thread boost already. When patches are released that fix the scheduling issue, there will be no need to disable cores.
My point is that fx-8120 is better than the 1100t for EVERYTHING, I am not claiming anything else.
fmmjqtft1 2 months ago
@fmmjqtft1 I was using "EXAMPLES", are you really that retarded..?
Most people that are going to "PAY" for 6 or "8" cores are definately not going to want to be "FORCED" to disable cores they just "PAID FOR", or did you not understand the "POINT" I made..?? The normal CONSUMER wouldn't know how to disable cores so they could ALMOST compete with an Intel chip.. So you're saying that a 6 core Bulldozer does single threads as good as a 1100 thuban..??
AKCOdin 2 months ago
@AKCOdin Actually you were using one example not examples. Anyway, #2 still holds. Disabling alternate cores is a temporary fix for the scheduling issue that ruins single threaded performance, not just for over-clocking.
Your point about "paying for" the cores is irrelevant. You pay for the processor. If disabling cores gives you better performance (for now), it is worth doing. Also, it is not the same as disabling whole cores, since parts of the cores are shared.
fmmjqtft1 2 months ago
@AKCOdin continued: The normal consumer would know how to disable cores. There is actually no skill in assembling a computer. It is fun, but nothing more than unboxing some toys and sticking them together. The BIOS has a very easy GUI on consumer motherboards.
And yes, I am saying that the fx-6100 does single threads better than the 1100t, because it is true.

@AKCOdin I have seen many Benchmarks, and in almost all of them the low-threaded performance of the bulldozer is worse than the Phenom II, so don't bother posting the benchmarks because I have seen them already.
However, as I have said many times, I am talking about the performance when the threads are scheduled correctly, or when alternate threads are disabled. There is a reported 30% improvement, which easily puts it above the Phenom II.

I wish they designed the best though. AMD did a very good job on the Phenom II x4s and the X6s by the way, the Phenom II X4 975 BE is the best option for someone who cannot afford the intel 2500K. What they did wrong with the bulldozer is they kept saying it was going to be as good as the intel core i series but it fell really short in most benchmarks. What saddened we AMD fans was that the X6 1090t and 1100t beat the bulldozer on some benchmarks...so..it is a good chip but...
kanyaugatiejagwo 4 months ago
@Techaholic101 In terms of maximum performance (when all threads are used), the fx-8150 is as good as the i7-2600k (on most of the linux benchmarks). The fx-8120 can be overclocked to be just as good. When software and OSes are optimised, it will beat the 2600k. (but obviously not in low threaded programs).

@madoo87 The only thing this processor loses to a 2500k is in single threaded benchmarks and in SOME games. But consider that each core in an FX processor isn't an entire core, it's not exactly an apples to apples comparison. A core from an i5 or hell, even a Phenom II isn't = to a core in a Bulldozer. It will never be truly comparable since the way the architecture is designed, so overall performance per dollar is more important.

@Techaholic101 Considering Intel owns a huge marketshare, they also own the minds of the Intel sheep who do not realize this. Yes, AMD FX doesn't obliterate the i7 2600K, but in some multi-threaded cases it gets close or surpasses it for a lot cheaper. It boils down to price/performance and AMD's FX isn't any different. I think another thing people should realize is that it's really not a true 8-core processor, but rather something else entirely different. (Just a fail on AMD marketing)
