Super Pi is used by a huge audience, particularly to check stability when overclocking processors. If a system is able to calculate PI to the 2 millionth place after the decimal without mistake, it is considered to be stable in regards to RAM and CPU.
We used Super Pi's '32M' benchmark setting.
Super Pi's single-threaded workload exploits a weakness in AMD's FX-8120 processor. The FX-8120 CPU's single-threaded performance is poor; a similarly-priced Intel processor will complete the same task in around half the time.
Why mount the power supply with the fan upwards? it won’t be sucking in cold air from outside. Fair, very honest review Luke, id like to see more from you in future.
Not impressed with this build at all, although I like the AMD processors, good value for money.
well thats disappointing. Nice components though, but ill build it myself thanks.
I would never order a system from OCUK, their customer support is rude. I had a failed motherboard over a year ago and the hassles I had to go through for a reaplcement were incredible.
Build your own system I say, if you can’t then go to a proper system builder like PC Specialist or Cyberpower
This is rather devious of ocuk, naming it 8350. People will immediately think they are getting a fx8350 processor!
This is just terrible, first of all, what drivers did you really use with the 7850, was is the 12.11?!
Second of all, why in the world name it 8350a…Epic.
Third, i have a similar system, i5 2400 3.2(4 cores) + Asus 7850 2GB V2, guess what?!My 3dmark11 score is http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/5473705 – 5841.
Shame on AMD…
you need a better gpu like nvidia 660Ti or amd 7950 .
you can save money replace the useless and small 60GB SSD drive with a 750GB WD BLACK.
