I'm actually replacing the FX-8350 in my fileserver next week, because I was running ffmpeg on it and it kept crashing about a minute into the job, so I assume it was overheating either the CPU or something on the motherboard.
It's almost 10 years old, so I can't complain. And I think I got a check for $2 or something like that from the class-action suit.
- doublepg23 1y agoDefinitely worth replacing for the performance at this point but is it possible it just needs a repaste? Thermal paste would’ve definitely dried out over 10 years and cause overheating symptoms.
- close04 1y agoI'm running one daily for the past ~12-13 years and the stability is impeccable but the performance is as you'd imagine. More likely that the motherboard age and degradation of various components would lead to instability, than the CPU itself.
- HankStallone 1y agoGood point. I was kind of itching to upgrade that box anyway, but maybe I should repaste it and make it a backup server.
