The one that I have does not work with optical drives. It looks just like the first one you linked. Review on the first one says yes, but none of mine worked.
#1 Get your facts right please go check the current price tag for the 8350 its not 300.00 dollar chip.
Yeah its a good one alright but I still prefer amd hexas over this.
#2Backing up joe:
#3 PP he was trying to show you that amd fx9350 had an edge in gaming.
Yeah it trumped some of intels ivy bridge higher end cpus.
I never thought it could at first but amd can still match intel blow to blow if they wanted to.
