Let me explain my self first. I am a long time forum viewer and finally took the time to make an account. Last week here in Austin, AMD held a Fan day to promote the brand and others in the area. Everyone at the event received an A8-5600k and a motherboard thanks to gigabyte! Another prize they were handing out was the FX-8350 with water cooling kit. I happen to have one and plan on using it in my system.Remove the l at the end of the file name to view the full size imagesCPU-Z has not been updated to reflect the new Vishera code nameI have applied the microsoft FX patch to my machinecomputer specs:2x 4gb Gskill ripjaw 1866EVGA Nvidia 570 oc editionCorsair 750 v2 psuNoctura cpu coolerAsrock 990fx Extreme4180gb Corsair force 3 ssd - system + some games60gb ocz vertex 3 ssd - rest of my games1.5TB seagate green drive sata 3 - data storageIdle tempsWith a kill-a-watt my whole system is at 160wI am currently doing benchmarks and will upload the results here as I just installed the cpu in my system about 30ish minutes ago.
