AMD FX8230E Big Bang for your Buck
Hey guys ,I have to say i am actually impressed a little with AMD this time around
Reason why they made a lower TDP chip that overclocks the same and is cheaper by $40 dollars or more depending what chip and TDP you are looking at
I paired this CPU with a GTX970 G1 yes i know it is bottlenecked not because of the CPU it's because of the PCI-E lanes being 2.0 and not 3.0
Now after Overclocking this chip to 4.8 Ghz with a Vcore 0f 1.45 on offset mode cool and quiet enabled and auto AMP mode this chip offers comparable performance to a I5-4670 Stock or a Stock I7-3770K or even a 3770K @4.2 Ghz any more and obviously the I7-3770K will just clean house with it
strange enough these combination of parts offer a mean Budget Rig that will actually keep you up with good FPS when DX12 hits i am expecting the limiting cap to come off some and improve this set up by 40% vs 60% on systems with a 3.0 PCI-E Bus
