AMD FX-8350 8-Core Desktop Processor

The AMD FX-8350 is an eight-core desktop processor with a 4.0 GHz base frequency and a 4.2 GHz overdrive frequency. It uses the AM3+ socket and has a 125 W power rating. The chip includes 8 MB of L2 cache and 8 MB of L3 cache.

Check AM3+ socket and cooling before purchase

This processor requires a motherboard with an AM3+ socket and a chipset that supports 125 W CPUs. No cooling device is included in the package so a separate heatsink and fan rated for at least 125 W must be sourced. Verify that the system power supply can deliver sufficient current for the platform.

Sustained load runs at base frequency within 125 W

Under continuous multi-threaded workloads the eight cores operate at the 4.0 GHz base clock while staying inside the 125 W thermal envelope. The 4.2 GHz overdrive frequency is available when thermal headroom allows but is not guaranteed during prolonged heavy utilisation. Adequate case airflow is necessary to maintain stable temperatures.

Questions about this item

Does the AMD FX-8350 8350 come with a cooling solution or must I buy one separately?

The processor is sold without a cooler, so a compatible AM3+ heatsink or liquid cooler rated for 125 W must be purchased separately.

Should I pick the 4.0 GHz base or the 4.2 GHz overdrive speed for my workload?

The chip runs at 4.0 GHz base and can reach 4.2 GHz when thermal headroom allows; choose based on whether your cooling can sustain the higher boost.

What does the 125 W power rating mean once the CPU is installed in a desktop?

A 125 W TDP indicates the heat your cooler must dissipate under full load, so select a motherboard with robust VRM cooling and a case with adequate airflow.
