Four-core desktop processor running at 3.7 GHz with a 95 W thermal solution for FM2+ platforms and DDR3 memory support

  • Included coolerNot included - Processor Only
  • Four cores for multi-threaded workloads
  • 7 GHz base clock for responsive performance
  • Unlocked multiplier enables overclocking headroom
  • Supports high-speed DDR3 memory
  • Includes 95W near-silent thermal solution

Processor and Cooler Kit

The AMD Athlon X4 860K is a quad-core desktop processor with a base frequency of 3.7 GHz. It targets budget-conscious builders who need four threads for everyday multitasking and light content creation. The 95 W thermal design power allows it to run within standard desktop cooling envelopes.

FM2+ Platform Compatibility

This CPU fits the FM2+ socket and works with motherboards that support DDR3 memory. The included 95 W near-silent thermal solution handles stock heat output, freeing the builder from sourcing a separate cooler. No additional cooling hardware is required for default operation.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Under continuous multi-threaded workloads the processor maintains its rated frequency within the 95 W envelope. The bundled cooler is designed to keep temperatures stable during extended sessions rather than only short bursts. This balance supports reliable performance for rendering, compiling or gaming marathons.

Questions about this item

What is the thermal design power that defines the cooling limit under sustained load?

The processor has a 95 W thermal design power, which sets the heat ceiling the cooler must handle during prolonged full-load operation.

How does the included 95 W thermal solution behave when the chip runs at 3.7 GHz all day?

The bundled near-silent cooler is rated for 95 W, so it is designed to keep the Athlon X4 860K within thermal limits during continuous operation at its 3.7 GHz base frequency.

Which memory type must already be installed on the motherboard for this CPU to work?

The Athlon X4 860K requires DDR3 memory; the system will not boot without compatible DDR3 modules populated in the board.
