Review: Excellent bang per buck for photo and video work - There have been some very mixed professional reviews of the AMD FX processors, and I would agree at the initial release price FX was not as appealing as it might be. However the price has fallen quite a bit since lauch, mix in quite a good AMD cashback offer and you are asking yourself one simple question. I'm looking for a CPU that has a good performance and is well priced. Welcome to the FX6100 from AMD ;-) You could of course buy an Intel i-3 CPU, but you want something that won't "run and hide" when things get a bit more demanding. I upgraded from an AMD quad core Phenom II 840 CPU and it's been well worthwhile a very easy update for 2/3/4 core AMD users except owners of the x6 Phenom II where the performance is similar to the lower x6 processors. But you now pay a lot less for the CPU so it evens things out. With video work there is a very strong performance really outstanding and a notable step up from the x4 processor. Photo/Video work this is a super choice for good performance, also speedy for software such as Winrar, 7zip It might not have been a super appealing Β£150 CPU, but at it's current price it's an outstanding bargain. May not score great on Itunes and some other benchmarks, but then with 6 cores/threads some of the review software simply won't run that well for this CPU. But I bet if I-tunes ran on more than a few threads this would score superbly. Let's put the blame on the software makers who should ensure they cater for multi threading properly. My own tests showed it scored 5800 odd on passmark (going well above 6000 with a small bump to 3.5GHz) v 4000 from the old 840 CPU, and it shaved a good 6 minutes off of a video conversion (27mins v just over 20mins with the 6100) I even managed to undervolt it and overclock it! (hint a good choice for quiet pc enthusiasts too) Runs even cooler than the 840 and is unquestionably quicker. Pros: Runs very cool Super bang per buck Very good performance for multi threaded applications Unlocked Cons: Performance mixed in low threaded applications, but still decent (ie it's in the heavy thread ones where you need the performance most) Easy 5 star for this simply cannot find fault at this price. A much better choice for heavy lifting v an i-3 processor (and cheaper too!) Review: After 4 months it still surprises - I got this for my first computer build, and I'm happy I did, I wanted an intel chip but if your here im sure you know how pricy they are. I done a touch of everything with this chip, so let's get started with the details. Video conversation is good, I use free make video converter and it uses all 6 cores* almost equally, time varies depending on source file type to converted file type. * this processor is not actually 6 core, it is a 3 module chip, that acts as a 6 core, Gaming is great, I started with skyrim and batman arkham city, and the CPU gave no bottle neck, moved on to dirt 3 and crysis and again perfect, no issues (please keep in mind games tend to be gpu intensive, except Bethesda games) Average user work, one word overkill, but flys through everything without brakeing a sweet Stock cooler is fine until you do a lot of CPU work, but it wasn't long before I switched to an arctic cooling freezer xtreme rev.2 ( which I have reviewed) temps never seem to go above 40*C so it is cool running. Up to date amd drivers are a must, and in the controll centre that comes with amd catalyst you can controll the frequency, just for power saving purposes really Now who is this chip for? Budget gamers who want something that's future proof for a few years. For home and office use I'd advice an amd apu, liano or trinity, both are good, biggest difference between them is the trinity is newer and has much better gpu power. Your average office user will not notice this much. A home user would notice better performance in hd video. People who plan mainly to do CPU work get an intel i5 or i7 (keep in mind that might be overkill) Hope this review is useful to you. ## Features - Frequency: 3.3/3.9GHZ (Base/Overdrive) - Cores: 6 - Cache: 6/8MB (L2/L3) - Socket Type: AM3+ - Power Wattage: 95W ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005UBNKWO | | Brand | AMD | | Brand Name | AMD | | CPU manufacturer | AMD | | CPU model | AMD FX | | CPU socket | Socket AM3+ | | CPU speed | 3.3 GHz | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 8 | | Country of Origin | Malaysia | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 353 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00730143300971 | | Item Part Number | FD6100WMGUSBX | | Item Weight | 0.25 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | AMD | | Manufacturer Part Number | FD6100WMGUSBX | | Model Number | FD6100WMGUSBX | | Platform | No Operating System | | Processor Brand | AMD | | Processor Core Count | 6 | | Processor Count | 6 | | Processor Number of Concurrent Threads | 6 | | Processor Series | AMD FX | | Processor Socket | Socket AM3+ | | Processor Speed | 3.3 GHz | | Secondary Cache | 8 MB | | Secondary cache | 8 MB | | UPC | 730143305358 115970725379 151904904137 730143300971 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Wattage | 95 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** AMD - **CPU manufacturer:** AMD - **CPU model:** AMD FX - **CPU speed:** 3.3 GHz - **CPU socket:** Socket AM3 - **Platform:** No Operating System - **Secondary cache:** 8 MB - **Wattage:** 95 watts - **Cache size:** 8 - **Processor count:** 6 ## Images ![FX 6100 6-Core Processor, 3.3 6 Socket AM3+ - FD6100WMGUSBX - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61PUL+sNoBL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: what boards will this processor run on?** A: So all you have to look at the socket type, this processor has an AM3 socket. It will fit on any AMD motherboard that supports AM3 sockets. **Q: I have a fx4300 will this cpu fit my motherboard?** A: Physically yes. The question is will your board support the chip. Most likely it will but without knowing what MB you have I have no way or knowing. **Q: will this processor work with a EVGA GeForce GTX 650 1024MB GDDR5 DVI mHDMI Graphics Card 01G-P4-2650-KR** A: All graphics cards will work with this processor just make sure the 12V rail on your power supply can handle the amps and wattage. Consult the Nvidia website for power supply requirements. **Q: Should I buy one of these used?** A: I bought mine used and it works just fine, three years in since I bought it and still going strong. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent bang per buck for photo and video work *by M***Z on 18 July 2012* There have been some very mixed professional reviews of the AMD FX processors, and I would agree at the initial release price FX was not as appealing as it might be.

AMD also had a Β£15 cash back which was credited directly into my bank account, so I got an unbelievably great deal. The CPU arrived on time, well packed, including a decent heatsink and fan with Thermal Paste already applied to the heatsink. So take care when you are fitting the heatsink on to the CPU. The heatsink fan is so easy to clip onto the CPU with a lever compared to the previous AMD CPU fans where I have had to use a screw driver to press the clip into place on the motherboard. I also bought from Amazon, the Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 Motherboard (Socket AM3+, Up to 16GB DDR3, USB 3.0, uATX). The system I built is running Windows 2008 R2, 16GB RAM, on the ASUS board, AMD 6 core CPU, everything is running very smoothly. Right now I'm preparing the system with W2008 R2 HyperV and put as many virtual machines as I can on it including the new Windows 2012 Server, Windows 8 along with the now "ancient" W2003, Windows 7 and setup a virtual Active Directory Forest and Exchange 2010 - 2007 - 2003 Organization. So far so good, keeping my fingers crossed !! ## Frequently Bought Together - AMD FX 6100 6-Core Processor, 3.3 6 Socket AM3+ - FD6100WMGUSBX - ASRock Micro ATX DDR3 1066 Motherboards 970M PRO3 - ARCTIC MX-4 (incl.
