Hi Guys,

Just want to know whether any one has bought AMD 3.6 GHz AM3+ FX4100 Processor. If yes , does it get too hot or runs in normal temperature.


Thanks&Regards,
Sekhar Prudhivi

FX4100 is a true faliure and it sometimes gets beaten by old Athlon II X4 3 GHz Porcessors. All the Phenom II X4 processos are ahead of it. Better get the Phenom II X4 965 @ 6.4K or Phenom II X4 960T Zosma (Thuban based) @ 6.8K.

What purpose do you need FX-4100 for?

Yeah.the fx4100 is a failure but the FX6120 and fx8150 CANT bes said as a failure.And i have a very good reason for that.

If your budget permits,then go for fx6120
