FAQ

Q: My processor is running 55C under load. Is this normal?

A: Safe CPU temperatures are 60 degrees Celsius and below. It may still run fine with CPU temperatures, exceeding 60C threshold by a few degrees. Running the FX-6350 close to 70 degrees and higher is not recommended.

Q: Is it possible to upgrade my AMD FX-6350 CPU?

A: Probably yes. CPU compatibility is determined by your motherboard. Please see CPU-Upgrade.com resource for CPU support list for your board.

News

AMD launches FX-4350 and FX-6350 CPUs

Apr 30, 2013: AMD FX microprocessors, based on "Vishera" core, were available since last October. "Vishera" CPUs use the latest "Piledriver" architecture, and come with 2, 3 or 4 modules, which corresponds to 4, 6 or 8 cores. The chips also have up to 16 MB total cache, and support the latest instructions, including AVX and FMA3. So far AMD had 4 different retail models, and 2 other SKUs were shipped in computers only. Yesterday AMD refreshed FX family with two new products, FX-4350 and FX-6350.

AMD FX-4350 and FX-6350 CPUs are available for pre-order

Mar 08, 2013: AMD FX-Series "Piledriver" processors have been launched last October, and included FX-4300 and FX-6300 95 Watt CPUs, together with FX-8320 and FX-8350 125 Watt parts. It was rumored that AMD will launch several more SKUs at the end of Q4 2012, but those rumors were not realized, and we're still waiting for FX-4320, FX-4350, FX-6350 and FX-8300. The good news is that two out of four FX processors, namely FX-4350 and FX-6350, are now available for pre-order in US.

AMD FX-8140, FX-6350 and FX-8300 CPUs shipped in HP h8-1400z PC

Oct 26, 2012: On October 23, AMD refreshed FX series lineup, releasing 4 different second-generation models, some with as many as 8 CPU cores. In addition to retail parts, this week AMD also launched six-core FX-6350 and eight-core FX-8300 microprocessors for OEM systems. The OEM parts are now available in HP ENVY h8-1400z desktop computer.

AMD plans six-core FX-6350 "Piledriver" CPU

Sep 02, 2012: AMD is going to launch FX-Series microprocessors with Vishera core in the fourth quarter 2012. New FX lineup will consists of 4-, 6- and 8-core models, and they will operate at slightly faster clock speeds than current generation of "Bulldozer" CPUs. Additionally, Vishera processors are expected to have up to 15% better performance due to enhancements in the Piledriver microarchitecture.
