Even underpowered, it peaks at over 3.9 GHz and I know it would easily do more once the new power source arrives. The temperature still stays pretty low as well.
This is my first fully custom pc, and I am absolutely thrilled at the performance compared to the cost. The closest similarly equipped computer I could have purchased from a retailer was over $900. With this processor, the motherboard, case, RAM, and other items, this cost me less than $400. I can run the Xbox App and stream at the highest quality now with no glitches or lag, and my old favorite pc game Flight Simulator can now be played at full graphics and settings paired with the discreet graphics card. I dual boot into Windows 8.1 for work, and so far everything seems to load a lot faster. On both Windows 10 and 8.1, there are no more sudden forced closes, no more glitches when watching video on Amazon Prime or YouTube.
For this to be a low cost processor, I'm impressed. You can bet my next processor upgrade will be an AMD.
As someone who grew up with AMD and has tons of good experiences (primarily using i7's now), I'm extremely impressed with the performance and the compatibility of the 860k and how it integrates into the build as a whole. I would definitely recommend overclocking the processor at a minimum 4.2ghz w/ Turbo Off, as once you hit the x42 Multiplier, you will notice a strong gain in real-life scenarios, as it seems to be hitting a certain minimum performance threshold on a x64 Win7 Ultimate w/ lots of software. This processor is the definition of hitting a very respectable level of power while only costing around 75~USD. However, make sure to invest in a very strong cooling system, also make sure the fan will fit too as the Cooler Master Hyper Evo is super popular/performs well but very tall. Paired with the R7 360 OC'ed, this combo makes for a decent gaming computer for popular online games and some bigger AAA titles @ 1080p, depending on how much you like to 'optimize' your graphic settings. Heat output is okay especially at OC levels but nothing that a well fitted fan and Silver-based thermal compound can't take care of. Pretty high power consumption, but that just comes with the territory of a processor like this. Overall great processor, has a pretty high potential ceiling, super strong performance once past 4.2ghz, and the price just makes this unit so hard to fault. Even at much higher standards, if you have low temps while pushing the processor higher, you can start rivaling other bigger Intel processor lines, at-least in benchmarks, not always in real-world. You'll start noticing dips when really pushing all 4 cores/threads, but within very reasonable limits, I haven't seen any issues or big complaints (Game + Firefox/Pandora + Peripherals) Lastly, don't look at the FX series and such, those are much harder to pair up or get up and running at their 100% efficiency due to certain mobos,etc. For a pretty efficient $500 build, this processor definitely can carry its weight and then some more. Awesome processor for sure.

I've also used it to video edit and if you turn down the preview resolution, it is fairly usable in Adobe Premiere Pro and Photoshop is pretty seamless most of the time.
All in all, I would recommend this if you are on a really tight budget and have the older hardware or can get it very cheap. With the new Athlons on the AM4 platform it is hard to recommend generally since they are about the same price and use DDR4. They also have an upgrade path. Just worth bearing in minde but I've had no problems with this CPU (although it's stock cooler sounds like a jet engine).
dazu bestellt habe ich dann noch das ASUS A68HM-K (Mainboard).
Ausschlaggebend für den Kauf dieser CPU war natürlich das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis.
Knapp 56 € für eine 4 Kern CPU mit 3,7 GHz Basistakt je Kern und einem L2 Cache von 4 MB.
Wichtig für mich war außerdem dass, der Prozessor nicht mehr Leistung zieht als der alte.
Schon erstaunlich ein X2 4200+ von 2004 hat dieselbe TDP wie ein X4 860 K.
Vorher : Nachher :
- X2 4200+ (2 * 2,2 GHz) - X4 860 K (4 * 3,7 GHz (4 GHz Turbo))
- CN Memory (2 * 1 GB RAM) - Kingston (2 * 4 GB RAM)
- Nvidia Geforce 9600 GT 512 MB 256 Bit
- WD 320 GB
Preis/Leistung TOP.
Obviamente ha de ir acompañado de una beuna gráfica y una RAM suficiente, pero la verdad es que es bastante silencioso (el ventilador que incluye) y por lo que he probado, no ha tenido problemas para cargar nada. De hecho la fluidez que ha demostrado ha sido muy satisfactoria.
Todo perfecto.
