OcUK Titan 8350a King Cobra MK2 (3.6GHz FX-8120 / 2GB Radeon 7850)

HandBrake is a fantastic free program that can be used to convert video files to many common formats for portable devices. HandBrake is an open-source, GPL-licensed, multi-platform, multi-threaded video transcoder, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows.

We used the latest V 0.9.8 version.

For our testing today we are converting a 4.4GB 720p MKV file (1h:58mins) to MP4 format, using HandBrake's ‘Normal' profile, for playback on High-Resolution devices. This is a common procedure for many people and will give a good indication of system power.

Encoding time increases when converting to a higher-resolution format, in comparison to the Apple MP4 file output by our MediaEspresso test. As with the lower-resolution media encoding test, we would have liked to see the FX-8120 make better use of its 8 processing cores by outperforming Intel's similarly-priced quad cores, not just matching their performance.

  1. 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.

  2. well thats disappointing. Nice components though, but ill build it myself thanks.

  3. 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

  4. This is rather devious of ocuk, naming it 8350. People will immediately think they are getting a fx8350 processor!

  5. 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…

  6. 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.
