Overclocking

Overclocking was a breeze, pushing it to 4.4Ghz

The Verdict

The 125w octa-core processor retails at around RM 680, one of the best deal you can get from AMD’s FX range of processor.

With a little overclocking, you cam get it to perform very closely to the FX-9590 processor that is retailing at nearly RM 1300.
