AMD FX-8370
AMD has definitely released a fantastic CPU for those of us needing a mid-tier enthusiast build with a lot of possibilities in overclocking. If you choose to get this CPU and want to get the most out of it, you should consider overclocking it using a water-cooler and using the new generation of NVidia GPU’s.

  • Only minimally faster than FX8350, which is $20 cheaper

Though there are still some hotly anticipated titles due in 2016, we might already have the game of the year on our hands. Overwatch has been on our radar for a while now but it recently blew up in a big way with an open beta that attracted over 9...

So I think most people will admit that AMD has had a lot of wins this year with all of the Ryzen launches. As I found out in our 1700v7700K coverage the 7700K was still a great performing CPU, especially when looking at gaming performance. But with...

AMD has been laying more and more emphasis over its mid-range processors, adding another member to the 8-core CPU family, the FX-8370. For people who are looking to build a new PC in budget or upgrading the their old FX processor, this seems to be a...

The AMD FX-8370 retails at RM 880, comes bundled with Wraith Cooler while the non-Wraith cooler bundle retails at RM 830.While I'm not impressed by the slight performance gain that the FX-8370 has over the FX-8350, I whole-heartedly recommend the...

With such a small price difference, the Wraith is absolutely worth the extra outlay over the standard cooler and we're confident in saying that this is the case whether you're overclocking or not. The difference in noise and cooling performance in both...

That the fastest processors are currently made by Intel is not really a secret, but what is the best choice when you want to spend up to £ 50, £100 or £150? To answer that question we conducted a megatest of 57 current AMD and Intel CPUs. From two...

Frankly, the series processors AMD FX no longer looks like a living and somehow growing. Everything points to the fact that AMD has thrown its main efforts on the promotion of hybrid processors, each year developing for them a new architecture and...

I would like to take this opportunity to thanks AMD for supplying the three FX processors and the motherboard for testing.The new AMD FX 8370 is far from ground breaking. That should not come as a surprise, given the modest 100 MHz increase in turbo...

It has been more than a year since AMD launched its last major update to the top end FX processor line -- the FX-9590. The company has been quiet in the face of Intel's high-end launches, but today AMD is shipping a new CPU that's aimed at multi-core...

After getting a chance to see what AMD's top tier processors, the FX-9370 and FX-9590 , were capable of delivering performance-wise, it's clear that the top end of the spectrum is the 5GHz plateau when we are talking about Vishera based CPUs. Today, AMD...

By Overclockers Club on

We review the AMD FX 8370 and 8370E processor today. The CPUs tested today have eight physical CPU cores, the fastest SKU will have a base clock of 4000 MHz, and can Turbo towards 4300. And that makes the FX series a multi-threaded high frequency...
