I bought an old Asus M32 series with an A86500 that seems to be bottlenecking my 1050ti and 16gb ddr3 @ 1866mhz. What is a FM2+ socket CPU that can actually game, i know their old and no longer produced. Canadian BTW
How do I get out of this bottleneck

>FM2+
time to move on, grandpa.

I have heard that the athlon x4 845k has the highest ipc count of the FM2+ cpus. When I had the athlon x4 860k paired with a rx 460 2GB and I was able to play older games at 1080p and some newer titles at 720P for higher framerate but That was about 7 months ago so I can't remember to much.
Grayson Davis
Athlon X4 860K, or any quad-core Kaveri/Godavari APU if you can't find it. Also overclock the NB, all of them can do 2000 MHz
Brody Cook
>845k
It's not unlocked though. It's also a rebadged mobile chip, buy only if don't plan to overclock (it falls behind overclocked Kaveri/godavari)
Juan Williams
So it turns out an athalon is the best i can do without a new mobo and psu. Might grab a X4 860k or 845k. Also grabbing a hyper 212. Will this balance out my system
Juan King
Yes
Evan Moore
bump. Should I OC my athalon when it comes, 400w PSU
Ian Reyes
thank you man, my ASUS mobo is fine just need an upgrade for the time being
Juan Wood
You must. Does your mobo allow overclocking?
Aaron Gutierrez
Yes it does, surprisingly modern mobo for 2012. Hoping the hyper 212 should give me enough thermal margin to OC a bit on the Athalon
Austin Garcia
bump, currently on Gskill 1866mhz DDR3 so id rather not upgrade my mobo. Is a hyper 212 enough to overclock an athalon
Jack Sullivan
It's a "your mileage may vary" situation. What other fans do you have on your case? Do you get good airflow? Is your computer near a heater?
Sure, you can overclock any chip on any cooler. The only question is: how much?
It will take experimentation and some messing around to find out what's faster than stock but stable on your cooler.

I was in the same bottleneck and i honestly just ended up with a full new build. It wasn't worth it trying to maintain the years-old parts.
I sold my GPU and kept the rest for a home server/NAS and then loaded it up with hard drives, so now I have nice network storage that I can put movies or photos or whatever on.
Caleb Hughes
Probably. Also consider Keep it below 70C if you want it to last.
Eli Perry
I have great airlfow, my A86500 is on 50-60c max. I shall look up what margins I should OC to.
My local PC shop suggested a new MOBO and ryhzen CPU, however those alone are worth more than my current PC. May sell them and grab a 700-900 PC off newegg. Thoughts?
Nathan Rivera
What specs? Though even a Ryzen 3 would be an upgrade for you
Christopher Cook
Yeah honestly I wouldn't listen to your local PC shop. Try to do most of the research yourself. They'll always try to upsell you on more expensive parts, needless upgrades, etc. You can always come to Jow Forums for honest advice, cuz no one here is trying to sell you anything.
A prebuilt isn't the worst option. I bought a gaming laptop after decommissioning my old gaming desktop. It just made more financial sense - my desktop build would've cost $1400, and my laptop was only $1100.
So yeah, a $700-900 prebuilt would probably be a great upgrade over your current PC, plus you could swap out parts and upgrade stuff later.
Logan Barnes
Thanks for the advice man, might just go upgrade to rhyzen socket and buy some DDR4. I can play older games but current ones struggle. I know my 1050ti is fine for medium settings so my bottleneck is def mobo/cpu
Charles Foster
Also Im gonna try PC builder and see what I can get for 700-800. I can throw my zotac 1050ti in there as its all i need GPU wise
Aiden Thomas
bump
Jose Wood
Are you retarded? Why would you buy into FM2+ in the year 2019?
Ian Barnes
Because he is probably poor. If he had money he would obviously go with a ryzen build.
Dominic Brown
kys
Isaiah Clark
Because it's a cheap and meaningful upgrade and his GPU isn't high-end. Only consumerist niggers throw away perfectly good hardware for muh 30000 FPS
Adrian Adams
Dont have enough for a new mobo, ddr4 and a current gen cpu. rather get an athalon and game at a modest 30-60fps
Brayden Miller
There are WAY better cheap used CPUs.
Colton Adams
Chuck it all in the bin then buy a used Zen 1700 or better with mobo and decent 3000+ ram and get a Vega 56
Christopher Gutierrez
bump, such as, need 65w to not need a new psu
Wyatt Kelly
There aren't if you consider that any CPU upgrade will need a mobo change as well
Charles Rodriguez
It's Athlon, not "athalon"
It's Ryzen, not "rhyzen"
GODaveri is your best bet, save some used ~60-100 eBay purchase that would probably be on 2600k/8350 level, but might come with board/chip/ram.
If you can stretch the cost of am4 socket the upgrade would be huge for you. If not, the best purchase you can make is Athlon 845 or 860.
Jack Smith
Fm2 cant game faggot sorry your cuck president taxes you to death
William Long
I agree with the eBay suggestion as well. Don't be afraid to buy used parts - sure, sometimes you can get bad stuff, but eBay is pretty good about issuing refunds if you're sent broken shit. You can save lots of money building a rig from used parts.
Luis Jenkins
>newegg.com
is your best bet. It's benchmarked at 5000 range, which is on par with an Intel i5-2400 considered bare minimum for gaming nowadays. However, it only benches 700 points higher than your A8. You should upgrade socket if you can.

pick one
