Consider watching this video with FreeTube, a nifty open-source program that lets you watch YouTube videos without Google spying on your viewing habits!

Combined with Libredirect, which automatically opens youtube links in Freetube, it becomes really slick and effortless to use.

IIRC I had an fx 6100 than upgraded to 6300 and the last one was 8350 or something like that. It was awfully cheap, and they used the same socket, so I didn't have to replace anything beside the cpu. I did a lot of cpu rendering, ray tracing for uni at that time, in 3ds max and vray, gpu ray tracing was very limited before geforce rtx. They were relatively good in that for the price, ray tracing could use all small cores.

I remember my fx8350 was a space heater machine. With an R9 390X

I sold a Phenom IIx4 Black Edition to buy an 8320.

I was so stupid.

I did the same thing, but for an FX-6300 instead (eventually upgraded to an 8320). It was cool to see all those cores in my task manager, but I don't think I ever took advantage of them :p

Thank goodness my Athlon 64 FX-60 didn’t make his list…
