FXシリーズは発熱が少ないと聞いて居ましたが
ほんと、温度が低いのにはビックリしました。
通常使用で10度前後ですか。





With my previous CPU, the Phenom II x4 965, I had considerable heating issues in-which at stock with four cores running, I would reach over 70c, which of course isn't good, so I resorted to tweaking the Vcore, disabling cores, and lowering the frequency, which is also not good. I'm aware that Phenom IIs apparently get rather hot, and I can second this, and some!
This amazing piece of technology runs at an overclocked 4.4GHz (stock Vcore) at an insane temperature of (whilst the fans* on max) 6c idle and 37c on max-load! I have of course disabled Cool 'n Quiet, along with AMD's new Turbo feature, which is to ensure the OC is stable and safe for the CPU.
I was blown away when I noticed the amazing temperatures, and currently, while typing this, with all my fans (including the CPU fan) are at an absolute bare minimum, my CPU is at 10c. I have no fancy water cooling device as you'd expect from these temperatures, but instead I have a mix of Arctic Silver 5 paste well applied and an impressive (yet useless for the Phenom II) Arctic Freezer 13.
I can't enough recommend this AM3+ socket CPU. This CPU will last me for many more years to come and shan't be a bottleneck for a long, long time.
The details of my OC are as follows:
Turbo OFF.
FSB at 200
VCore STOCK (1.32v roughly, I think it's at)
Multiplier at 22x
* My fans are:
Front = 120mm Silence red LED
Side: Antec TriCool red LED 120mm
Rear: Arctic 80mm
Bottom: Syth 100mm
I usually run them at barely audible speeds, and can even get away with turning them all off, and this includes the CPU fan, while getting what I believe could max at 65c, however it only seemed to reach 58c when I did a quick test, earlier
I cannot believe that at 95w this CPU is able to perform so flawlessly. I have read various reviews and comments about this processor, claiming it's a "Faildozer" and that the Phenom II x4 965 is much better; I can comfortable and amusingly tell you this is an absolute load of... stuff.
Well done, AMD!
Side note:
For me, my high-end games and Windows 7 32-bit OS all perform far better than the Phenom II did. I also am aware that this CPU could likely reach 4.7GHz, however I'm very satisfied with what it's currently at.
UPDATE:
I now run at 4.5GHz and 1.40 Vcore with no stability issues as of yet; I've been running the rig like this for a good few days. Currently my CPU is 11c and the heatsink is 27c. I no longer have control of my CPU fan, so it gets ever so slightly hotter, but still maxes at around 50-55c depending on room temperature of course, and this is without the front, rear, and now two Antec 120mm side panel fans. All in all, this CPU is still, IMO, the best AMD CPU you could buy for gaming.
UPDATE:
Yet another update, and still absolutely loving this CPU. Some things I should point out for the techie nuts amongst us:
I overclocked to 4.5GHz on the last update, I notice.. well, I recall doing that, but unforunately it was NOT stable, but it was almost stable, however almost stable still isn't stable, and therefore I gave up on that clock, but I now run at 4.2GHz and have done for.. God, IDK how long.. a great many months! [: Yes, this time it is actually stable. lol I think I understand why it wasn't stable before; I think it was a mixture of lacking in the voltage department, and the memory speed was set too high, putting strain on the CPU and failing the OC. I have 4.2GHz now, but my 1600MHz is taken down to something liek 1566MHz, which is still pretty damn decent, so I ain't complaining.
I still recommend this CPU? Hellz yes, the price is incredible for what you get. I can nail games like Skyrim, and.. well.. can't be bothered to list a load of games, but the point is, that it performs well. :P
Here's quoted from a post of mine elsewhere online:
"Tested with Prime95, and without my two 120mm Antec side fans (only rear and CPU running as normal) the temp' seems to sit at 64.8c and with the side fans going all out, the temp dropped to 51.3c and wouldn't budge - that's a massive total of 13.5c that those two fans took off the CPU!
I'm using a 95w CPU, the 4100 running @4.2GHz x4. Keep in mind this is a decent overclock from 3.6GHz to 4.2GHz. Motherboard is the ASUS 990FX, which may have a lot to do with the stable and awesome overclock.
Moral of the story? Don't underestimate the power of side panel fans and a chunky aftermarket cooler!"
I'm thinking I could probably easily add a lil voltage and stuff to boost the output of this CPU even more, courtesy of this motherboard (it's ace with OCing), but honestly, there's just absolutely no need. I know there's a lot better out there, but it's probably a moot point given what this already does with all the modern games, and at such a damn good price, I just can't ignore that amazing price - :o now £74 with free delivery! I would love to see what I could get out of the FX4170, as I have a feeling I could easily get that to 5GHz. [: I will perhaps upgrade at some point, but it's not exactly needed anytime soon. lol
So yeah.. IDK what else to say.
Buy it. :P It rawks, and it'll be kind to your purse/wallet.

First of all, the FX 4100 is a really "open" CPU, it lets you toy around with a lot of its features and options thanks to the fact that it's unlocked. People who are a little more than just computer literate will love this, cause it enables you to tune your processor the way you want it and explore its limits. AMD has done a very good job on this side and provides the tools to do just about anything you want. If you own a good motherboard (and you should with such a processor) as I do (Gigabyte 970A-UD3), you can really unleash some of the hidden potential of the FX.
The other interesting thing about the FX is that it's a semi-intelligent CPU if you will. It adjusts itself to use more or less power to execute certain tasks. Or so it should. The problem is, it doesn't seem that the software really understands that. Sometimes, you will get very good results performance-wise and then another task will just behave so poorly that it'll make you regret your old Athlon or Phenom. Another issue is that certain games for example, do not want to run at all with an FX installed. Red Faction: Armageddon is one such game. This is quite sad and honestly, it feels like the FX was just released a bit too soon, with lots of promises to wipe out the bugs at a later point in time.
Overall, the FX is not bad at all, just not ready to hit the market, as too many developers still code their applications and games to use a single core, whereas AMD encourages buyers to go for up to 8 cores where their CPUs excel in performance.
I do like the FX for what it is, namely a true step forward in CPU evolution, but at present times, if you are a gamer for example, you might want to stick to the Phenom family for a while until the software evolves with the hardware.
UPDATE: Gigabyte just released a new BIOS update which includes the new AMD AGESA instructions set and it fixes, well, pretty much all the issues with game compatibility and gives a nice little performance boost. Thumbs up for AMD on this one for this quick fix.

**Update 9/6/12**
I recently purchased Guild Wars 2. The game is fairly CPU-intensive, but the FX-4100 keeps up just fine! I think I'm sitting at around 50% plus load at any given time during actual game play on all four cores. I haven't had a single hiccup or spot of lag yet!
Starcraft 2 is another CPU-heavy application, and coupled with the 550 Ti card, I'm running it on Extreme at 1400x900 resolution, and it's flawless. Again, all four cores are loaded, and quite frequently, they're over 60%. Things get a little warm (35C or so) when compared to when I run other applications. Nothing to worry about!
I have also paid quite a bit of attention to how it runs with Diablo 3. It only uses 2 cores at about 50% load at any given time. That game is more GPU-intensive. I am still very happy with my purchase!

Therefore, I hopped over to amazon, got this, and next day shipping, for the same price of the processor on newegg with 3-5 day shipping. It was delivered in a wonderful box for the size of it, and I did get it the next day! Compared to my old 2.8 ghz dual core amd processor in my old computer, this runs like a dream! I can run multiple games (I know that most of that is behind my gpu, not my cpu, but still) on ultra with this only going up to 60 percent at the most! Running my daily things, such as many tabs in google chrome, many messengers, a game here and there, and some porgrams to draw with.. this only gets around 20 percent at most. And by many tabs in google chrome, I mean at least 20ish. :l All in all, I really enjoy this processor for the price.
I have heard bad things about bulldozer, and I don't doubt them. It was overhyped, especially the 8core processors. Not saying they're bad, just overhyped.
Pros:
Cheap
Quad core
Turbo of 3.8 ghz!
Decent heatsink along with it
Cons:
The heatsink, to an extent. But hey, it does the job, so it's fine.
Fragile and have had this come broken before (then again, all amd processors are, and it didn't come broken through amazon's site, so fine by me to amazon)

I Probe many synthetic tests, viewing results undesirable, being surpassed even by Intel Core i3 and Phenom X4 but I have read about the architecture of these processors, and perhaps synthetic tests are not prepared for this processor.
I decided to try it in games and the difference was significant, try focusing on games that use and all features of DX11.
I don't know what is doing the combination Radeon 6000 series with these FX processor, but the performance compared to a Phenom II X4 955 and Core i5 in DX11 games make the FX take the lead.
So this process can not keep up in many tests, the architecture certainly wanted to go a step forward, for some tasks is a disaster but for DX11 games using in this test with Radeon 6770 series gets better results than other systems using same video card.
The overclock test was impressive.
Pros:
-Excellent performance in DX11 games Combined with Radeon 6000 Series
-The Cooler is different that Phenom II series, better airflow and less noise.
-low power consumption.
-The new design of heatsink,improving its predecessor
-(for OC lovers)Excelent overclock power, can have an increase up to 800Mhz stable, the performance increases too significantly.
Cons:
-for computation, can be overcome easily in synthetic tests for lower-priced processors
-New architecture ignored by many applications

I would recommend and AMD-fx chips to all computer users and enthusiasts.
People who choose Intel are either loyal to the brand, have loads of money and can afford twice the price for a tiny bit more performance, or they just buy into Intel's Brand power.
I have used AMD for about 5 years and have never come across a failed or broken chip. The main reason chips fail is because people ruin them with "abused Overclocking". If you just get a half decent cpu cooler you can boost these chips performance by a safe 20% and the price can't be beaten by Intel.
Intel chips are also very very good, but the price for me Is always too high.
If you take into consideration "moors law" both Intel and AMD could offer much better processing speeds, but being a shareholder owned company they want to make as much money as possible. So they trickle out the Technology and pile on the price ever time they increase your clock speed by a few hundred megahertz.
Thats business I'm afraid, and thats why I'll always buy AMD. BANG 4 BUCK!

This CPU is great for creating a simple working computer with rapid access to documents and webpages but i wouldn't recommend consumers using this for gaming as playing simple games were intermittent (no other Graphics card were installed on motherboard).
The AMD Bulldozer fx-4100 is perfect for those whom work at home and want to create a fast yet inexpensive computer.
Overall i really loved this CPU as it was cheap and yet produced magnificent processing power, With 4 cores working together at 3.60GHz this is one beautiful computing component at one magnificent price.
Installation of the CPU was effortless (without 3rd party fan).

You can't really beat $110 (plus currently 10$ off if you pair it with a Gigabyte Am3+ motherboard). The other new AMD processors may have more cores, but the truth is, most applications currently used at home don't take advantage of the full potential of Quad core processors, let alone the 6 and 8 core processors. To me, the added cost of buying those processors (or even any of the Intel processors) just isn't worth it right now. This processor is by far the best bang for your money (for now at least) and if you are building a new computer or replacing an older one, then I would recommend this processor.
Cons:
This processor doesn't really perform all that much better that any of the Phenom II processors. If you currently have one of those processors, I would not recommend upgrading to this (or any of the other new Bulldozer processors). What little difference there is, would not be worth the cost. I would wait for the next processors to come out (I think I am hearing April for those, but I'm not sure).
I am giving this one a 5 star rating because it delivers exactly what it advertises, a solid quad core processor at an exceptional price. There are better processors available, but you will also have to pay a lot more for them.

I installed this CPU with the stock cooler on a GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3 MoBo, 16Gb of RAM and Windows 7 64 Bit. The Graphics card is a Vision Tek Radeon 7850 with 2GB. I re-used my old Seagate 320GB HDD (SATA) and the Power Supply (450W).
I have been running it over-clocked to 4200MHz for the past 2 weeks and been playing BF3 (Video Options set to High) on it frequently. I did a clean wipe and install of my HDD when I re-built the system. Everything is running beautifully.
I have no complaints especially since I bought it here when it was at $94!
UPDATE: It is now November, I have been running this overclocked at 4200MHz and still have not had a blip. No special cooler or anything. Hours of Battlefield 3 maxed out and the BF4 beta last month without a single issue.

Ich verstehe nicht was manche für ein Problem mit der FX Reihe haben. Der Stomverbrauch ist zwar höher. Aber P/L und 'Performance stimmen. (Subjektiv). Ich denke das viele vergessen das AMD mehr so im Serversegment punktet und somit die CPU s eher für sachen wie CAD Anwendungen sind. Klar ist das wenn man mehr Knete ausgibt man auch mehr Leistung bekommt. Also für Multicorearbeiten ist die CPU zu empfehlen. Um Spiele muss man sich keine sorgen machen. Die fressen nicht wahnsinnig viel CPU Leistung. Dafür reicht er allemahl aus.
Ich kann den nur weiter empfehlen.
Ausserdem hab ich ihn auf meinem Asrock 970 extrme4, auf immerhin 4,5Ghz gebracht. Mit nem recht günstiegen Kühler.
Also wer jetzt nicht so viel Geld für nen PC ausgeben möchte, und trotzdem z.B. Spiele wie Btf3 zockt der sieht hier eine Alternative z.B. zum i3. Kaufempfehlung.
Lief bis jetzt ohne Probleme.

its stable for the most part but if you overclock. Water cooling is a MUST thats one of its downfalls. the FX's Generate more heat. so best Thermal Compound is artic silver.
this CPU to me only has one Con. an dits a natsy one.
BSODing Windows XP, Windows Vista and windows 7 only on Valve-CEG games (Portal 2 is one!) and its a CPU Flaw.. some Motherboards have Bios Updates. alot dont.
if your planning on a FX CPU, and you play any valve game, check to make sure your motherboard has a Microcode Updated bios. the Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 USB3.0 motherboards rev. 1.0 and 1.1 are two such boards


If you're going to go with an AMD FX processor and you're looking to keep low on price, this will definitely get the job done. Just make sure you're prepared. Don't cheap out on a motherboard.
