Make sure you get the correct CPU!! The first one I received was a FD-6120 6 core @ 3.5 Ghz. The package was labeled FX-8350 and still had the seal on it, but not only was the CPU wrong, the heat sink did not have the pre-installed thermal compound and the fan was a 3-wire fan. You can read the model number off the CPU before you open the box and I wish I had done that, but I installed it and had the motherboard report a 6 core CPU.
To save yourself some grief, look through the plastic window on the box before you open it and make sure it says FX-8350.
The first CPU worked and I was able to complete my build and Amazon came through 2 days later with the correct CPU so I can't blame Amazon. I love my 8 core machine and very glad I purchased it.
