I have received a half-broken cpu, with a broken memory controller, this amd fx 8310 won't work in dual channel mode, thus reducing the performance big time! after a long time of waiting on an answer on my depute to get my money back from this broken item, they didn't acknowledge it, and so I wasted money and time. I won't recommend buying here, if it is not for the change you get something that is broken, then it is for the bad service!
