Question 1

can this out preform the i5

Accepted Answer

Honestly depending on the type i5. If its the skylake 6600k this cpu cannot.

Question 2

Has anyone used this CPU to play any CPU intense games like MMO's for example? I play MMO's and usually average between 15-25 FPS with my current CPU.

Accepted Answer

Games primarily use the Graphics card to process frame rates. you have to find a balance to what i call the Trinity - GPU, CPU, RAM - I am currently using a stock 8350 and getting 85fps in Far Cry 5 and 100 in WOW- I also have a water cooled 1070 and 32gb 2133mhz memory... get my point? this is why i can save on the cpu. Spend your money in that order

Question 3

Accepted Answer

No you cannot use this CPU. The URL Link Below will show you which CPUs you can use on this mother board http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-Gigabyte/GA-AM1M-S2H%28rev._1.0%29.html

Question 4

I purchased the CPU, but I am getting 4000 Mhz clock speed instead of 4300. Is it safe to overclock to the advertised speed in your page?

Accepted Answer

This CPU is 4ghz, NOT 4.3ghz...  I consider this advertisement fraud and I returned the 8370 because of this reason.   I also have a 8320 @ 3.5ghz which I overclocked to 4.6ghz (1.45v) and a 8350 @ 4ghz which I overclocked to 4.9ghz (1.44v) - both of my CPUs run in "cool and quiet" mode with turbo turned OFF (medium LLC).     Honestly, there is no reason for people to LIE and call this a 4.3ghz CPU, it is NOT.  8370 = 4ghz, this is the same as 8350 (which is $40 cheaper).I am 100% stable on my OC's and I run Battlefield 4 all day long at 90fps/1080p/ultra, temps never go above 62c. So....  If people are saying that the 8370 can't overclock past 4.3ghz, I would consider it to be COMPLETE JUNK and my FX8320 (which is $100 cheaper), AND my FX8350($40 cheaper) will out perform the FX8370.   My OC'ed 8350 gets equal benchmark scores on PassMark Performance tests as I7-5820k.  I even beat the I7-5820k with FX8350 OC'ed on some CPU tests.
