It was sufficient. I could run it with an msi 6000 gpu and play most modern games in 720-1080p with acceptable frame rates, and watch HD videos without stuttering. But I wanted something more; I needed something that could handle editing and more work. Definitely worth the money. I think I payed less for the new one than the old one. Coupled with a new msi 7770, the FX-6300 has been stellar. The only things it has a hard time doing (which I found reasonable) is working in full HD with Fraps recording, a drag on any system, and playing something like Hitman Absolution on Ultra graphical settings, which would wreck havoc on even an i7 and a better gpu, I'm sure. So far temps have stayed below 40C sometimes idling at 19C, People always say stock fans are junk, I think they just don't build their PCs with proper airflow. I've had no problems, but I'll really get pressing on it once I've updated my BIOS (had to buy a usb flash, derp). Will definitely write an edit in the future about further performance. *Update _December 2013 After about 4 months of use, I'm very satisfied with my amd fx 6300. Still using a stock fan and a case with great airflow, I never see temperatures above 55C with extensive use (2+ hours)overclocked at 3.9 GHz and 1.275 volts. However, I have never been able to get up to 4.0 GHz without losing stability. I'm not sure if this is a MoBo issue, or simple cpu architecture. Can run most games, programs, etc. without any lag, no crashing issues, no problems at all. Windows 8 is smooth, games from Battlefield 3 down to Minecraft run fast and beautiful, and hours of program, web browsing, and every other pc activity has been fantastic having integrated the fx into my rig. I love this processor. That said, I'm a bit reserved recommending this to hardcore pc users. It's worked great for me, but even after 4 months of a new rig, I'm still looking forward to more out of progressing technology. I think to 90% of people, the 6300 will be everything they've dreamed of, and at a fantastically low price, especially when compared to the analogous intel processors. However, I think if you're like me, and looking for more, you might want to skip the 6300 and go straight for the fx-8350 8-core. I'll have to wait till I have the cash flow to try it out, but I think the baseline 4.0 Ghz and 8 cores might be worth the extra $70, especially since people have been comparing it ($190) with Intel i7s that cost almost $500, and have a tendency to run hot. I intend to pair it with a GTX 770 graphics card (maybe even double it with crossfire or something), so my next update will probably be late next spring, maybe even next summer, comparing performance with each processor. Until then, stay cool. *Update _January 2014 Finally tuned it to 4.1 GHz at 1.35 volts. However, the voltage is creeping into the redzone. I'm definitely no pro at overclocking, but I feel safe with this frequency/voltage because A)the 6300 is built for 4.1 and B) AMD Overdrive stability tests run the chip at 100% capacity (actually it's around 98%), stable for 1 hour at 62C without hardware or calculation failures. I won't bother trying 2 hours because I'll never use it at 100% for such an extended period of time. I think I've been successful because it's so cool in my house (About 65F during the winter) and the chip's been idling as low as 6 or 7 Celsius and doesn't get much higher than 30 or 40 C under most situations. Really the only thing holding me back now is my graphics card. Review: Excellent Processor, 9/10 - The AMD FX-6300 is an excellent CPU. Being a six core, it already has an advantage over the more standard quad-core options. However, it should be noted that you most likely won't be using all six cores if you're just gaming. That set aside, the processor also runs at a very fast 3.5 GHz, which is already above average. Combine this with the processor's flexible overclocking abilities (getting it to run at 4 GHz, 4.3 GHz, 4.5GHz and 4.7 GHz are common, and I've seen many users get those speeds. Make sure you get an aftermarket cooler though!), and you have a CPU that can do miracles. The CPU's manual also demonstrates exactly how to install the CPU and makes it a super easy, low-stress operation! I've been playing some games myself, with a a Sapphire Radeon 7770 (not the best card, so my results can easily be surpassed!), and have been comfortably around 60 FPS in games such as Far Cry 3 at medium settings at my CPU's stock speed. Other, less demanding games such as Oblivion, Skyrim, Mirror's Edge and Blacklight Retribution all run easily above 60 FPS, and games such as Minecraft surpass 100 FPS with no problem. There are however, a few nitpicks I'd like to talk about. The first, and most obvious, is that the FX-6300 gets hot. With the stock cooler, games like Far Cry 3 bump my temperature to 60 degrees Celsius. However, the stock cooler does a good job at maintaining the temperature here. It should be noted, also, that 60 Celsius is an alright temperature for an FX-6300 under load. Another thing I want to nitpick on is the stock cooler, which looks and feels very cheap and fragile. It's also very small and doesn't even cover the entirety of the heatsink. One last thing about the stock cooler is that it uses AMD's clip-on mechanism to lock onto the motherboard, and this can be a nuisance if one wants to upgrade to an aftermarket cooler because you will have to unscrew the mounting piece on the motherboard and then install your aftermarket cooler. This process can be daunting and at the very least, very annoying. The process of attaching the heatsink with the AMD system is pretty daunting itself, since you have to apply quite a bit of force to get it on, and I myself was frightened by the amount of torque I was producing, and it can also be difficult due to lack of good explanation and picture detail in the CPU's manual. There also seems to be an odd problem with the CPU's temperature sensors! I recommend using Speed Fan for your temp measurements, because programs like CoreTemp and HWMonitor give incorrect temperatures for your CPU when it is under low-load or none. For me, it will give me temperatures half of my room temperature! I'm not sure which program is accurate with temperatures under load however, as they both report different temperatures with variations of about 10 C, but I still tend to use Speed Fan since it gives higher temperature readings for both and its better to be safe than sorry! And finally, one last nitpick is that the processor seems to have problems with Windows 7's power options, but it is not a big issue as it usually resolves itself in a few moments. Overall, if you combine this processor with a good graphics card, you should be getting results far superior to mine in the gaming scene. When it comes to video and graphics editing, this processor will accomplish anything you throw at it, and for every day use, you will not be disappointed. While it is not a perfect product, it is very good, and that is why it is a solid 9/10. ## Features - Frequency: 3.5/4.1ghz (base/overdrive) - Cores: 6; Supported technologies: aes, avx, fma4 - Cache: 6/8mb (l2/l3) - Socket type: am3+ - Power wattage: 95w ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B009O7YORK | | Best Sellers Rank | #806 in Computer CPU Processors | | Brand | AMD | | CPU Manufacturer | AMD | | CPU Model | AMD FX | | CPU Socket | Socket AM3 | | CPU Speed | 3.5 GHz | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 14 | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 4,175 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05053460894936, 05053973979465 | | Item Part Number | FD6300WMHKBOX | | Item Weight | 16 ounces | | Manufacturer | AMD | | Mfr Part Number | FD6300WMHKBOX | | Model Number | FD6300WMHKBOX | | Platform | Windows | | Processor Brand | AMD | | Processor Core Count | 6 | | Processor Count | 6 | | Processor Series | AMD FX | | Processor Socket | Socket AM3 | | Processor Speed | 3.5 GHz | | Secondary Cache | 6 MB | | UPC | 803983037717 803983044340 777284799202 994741965738 163121394714 366892076487 012300275026 809385680308 132017929705 013201212158 014445254096 012304312208 739197988456 806293540663 021112684360 809186285474 807320173502 163121156916 807030509677 782386497628 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Wattage | 95 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** AMD - **CPU Manufacturer:** AMD - **CPU Model:** AMD FX - **CPU Socket:** Socket AM3 - **CPU Speed:** 3.5 GHz ## Images ![FX 3.5 Ghz 95-Watt AM3+ Processor FD6300WMHKBOX - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81X4pIqFQ4L.jpg) ![FX 3.5 Ghz 95-Watt AM3+ Processor FD6300WMHKBOX - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81mQdijq3LL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beast.

The most performance for the money you can buy. *by E***4 on April 7, 2014* This CPU has very good performance for only being 115$. And this is a great processor to use in budget builds. It's closest competitor the Intel i3 is slower than the FX6300 during processes that use multiple cores by a good little margin. It's definately going to be a notable improvement over the Intel i3 in multi-threading. Where this processor really falls short though is with single threaded applications. It's literally like 30-40% slower than the i3 with single threaded applications. As far as the FX6300 as a gaming processor, it can either be pretty good, or terribly bad, but mostly pretty good. If your playing one of the newest games like Crysis 3 or BF4, this processor will do pretty good, not as good as an i5 or i7, but damn good for only 115$. But with Online MMO's the FX6300 is severely lacking. For example, the game World of Tanks is a very popular game. But give that it's a Free to Play MMO, it's probably not going to be optimized for all 6 of the FX6300's cores. So the game World of Tanks only uses 1 or 2 cores, and being the FX6300 is so much slower when you only use 1 or 2 of it's cores, performance suffers a lot compared to what you would experience with an i3. So personally I find the i3 to be a good bit better option than the FX6300. Even though the i3 is a little slower while all cores are being used, it's SO much faster while only using 1-2 of it's cores that the overall performance of the i3 ends up being better than the FX6300. And unfortunately for the FX6300, it suffers greatly in games like World of Tanks. For example my i3 gets 100FPS in World of Tanks on MAX settings with a 660Ti graphics card while the FX6300 gets 50FPS in World of Tanks on only Medium settings with the same 660Ti. I lose over half the performance. Of course if you don't play ANY older games, and if upcoming games always make use of 6+ cores, you'll never have this problem with games. But a lot of regular everyday programs only use 1 or 2 cores also, so there's that. One good thing about the FX6300 though is that you can overclock it to 4.5Ghz easily. It still won't beat the i3 in single threaded performance, it actually still won't be close. But it'll be a lot faster than stock, and even more faster than the i3 in multi-threaded programs. ## Frequently Bought Together - AMD FX6300 Black Edition 6 Core (3.5/4.1GHz, 8MB Level 3 Cache, 6MB Level 2 Cache, Socket AM3+, 95W, Retail Boxed) - ARCTIC MX-4 (4 g) - Premium Performance Thermal Paste for all processors (CPU, GPU - PC, PS4, XBOX), very high thermal conductivity, long durability, safe application, non-conductive, non-capacitive - CORSAIR VENGEANCE LPX DDR4 RAM 64GB (2x32GB) 3200MHz CL16-20-20-38 1.35V Intel XMP AMD EXPO Computer Memory – Black (CMK64GX4M2E3200C16) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/488860-fx-3-5-ghz-95-watt-am3-processor-fd6300wmhkbox](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/488860-fx-3-5-ghz-95-watt-am3-processor-fd6300wmhkbox) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
