Archive Description

Part of the controversial FX (Bulldozer/Vishera) lineup. The FX-4300 was a high-clocked quad-core that ran hot and struggled to beat Intel's dual-cores in gaming.

However, it was unlocked ("Black Edition"), meaning you could overclock it to the moon if you had enough cooling. A favorite of budget enthusiasts who enjoyed tinkering more than raw performance. It’s a hot rod that consumes too much gas but is fun to tune.
