Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I couldnt agree more with what you have said..
where i stay ambient temps hit 40 celsius with relative humidity as high as 100%.
Its terrible during most part of the year..
i'd be sitting like Ace Ventura up the hippo's bum.
So forget overclocking ( On AIR) ...my silver arrow and...
same thing for bulldozer...the power used alone made you look away..
my guess is nobody uses amd chips at stock settings.
overclock and undervolt.............
But one thing is for sure Piledriver is power efficient much more than bulldozer and AMD has really worked to make it better.
A promise kept .....................but this is what bulldozer was supposed to be!
A fantastic price/performance ratio.
Anybody with an older am3+ mobo can upgrade.
its $195 if i read correctly.
So you want something that runs at 150 fps vs 70 fps when you'll have trouble switching out of the game if you want to do some real work.
Besides me thinks hyperthreading is a farce although it beats real AMD cores(or maybe it doesnt), but i would have bought Intel if they did not have that...
Slap me in the face and call me susan.......
But im buying one;)

Hi Texanman,
good to know you got a 8350 before anybody
A personal request if you wouldnt mind....
download ubuntu 12.04 and install it . Install hardinfo from software centre and run refresh CPU cryptohash till you get the highest possible value.. post the other benches in that...
