AMD FX 8150 Cracks 8.80 GHz in New OC Feat
It is no news that AMD FX likes high clock speeds, even if they come at the expense of energy efficiency and heat. It's only when one such chips crosses 8.80 GHz (8805.64 MHz, to be precise), that it makes headlines. Thai overclocker "ksin" claimed to able drive the chip to its record speed using a base clock speed of 303.29 MHz, and multiplier of 29.0x. A scorching 1.86V core voltage was used. Other components include ASUS Crosshair V Formula motherboard, and 4 GB (2x 2 GB) of ADATA-made memory, clocked at 1417 MHz. Ksin didn't bother providing more details such as method of cooling, and that seems like a reason behind the CPU-Z Validation rejection.

I prefer mine @ 5.0 with full 8 Cores enable :rockout:
steroidsvoltage and LN2 before its little heart burns outwww.tomshardware.com/news/fx-8150-bulldozer-record-overclocking-speed,13903.html
Ah, it looks like 220MHz more than the previous one. Hehe!
His new validation

Still would rather like to see 7-8 ghz with all 8 cores enable...
Anyway its done in particular to stay within range of what the chips TDP allows prior to its pre set shutdown point,also all 8 cores enabled would have drawn 2-4 times the power from the motherboard requireing IT to be nitrogen cooled or supported via addon VRms
Its his passtime freezing chips then burning them to shreds he isnt trying to encourage others to push theirs, and its no different then you pissing your money up the wall at weekends/ or str8 after work as the case may be.
24/7 usable overclocks impress me far more.
congrats you got it to 20Ghz with .5 of 1 core Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee lol!
amd really need to work on thier instructions per clock rather than the clock speed.
looks like amd stole the design plans for pentium 4 and just modded the netburst architecture a little.

I really dont care about how many cores, the fact that the frequency is so high is impressive regardless.
