AMD A10-6800K Cracks 8.00 GHz Mark
AMD's new A10-6800K "Richland" APU is turning out to be quite the chip for competitive overclocking. Finnish overclocker "The Stilt" cracked the 8.00 GHz mark with the chip. Skills aside, "The Stilt" relied on liquid-nitrogen cooling that kept the chip at -185°C, a core voltage of 1.992V, a base clock of 126.99 MHz (~127 MHz), and 63.0x BClk multiplier. All four cores were enabled during the feat. Other key components of the bench include an ASUS F2A85-V Pro motherboard, and 2x 4 GB dual-channel memory of an unknown make, running at 1692 MHz (DDR) Find details and validation links here.

we perceive what our minds wants us to think. at the end of each neuton, sensor, our mind is there. our unconscious controls everything. maybe we are far too evolved already and are living in a virtual reality created by our own minds.
ever one has dreams right? they feel real. so that proves how our unconscious can control what we perceive.
are we even alive?
On another note it does say GSkill Ram was being used
Everyone needs a hobby, some people collect trains, planes and cars.. Some people perhaps like to overclock CPUs to amazing speeds.
Anybody that has to post a "I dont see the point in epic overclocks" is clearly reading the wrong article, and forum.
It's like walking into a Ferrari garage, and then complaining at the engineers when they make a car that goes 200mph, because nobody will ever go that fast for sustained periods.
I think this is awesome, and I believe AMD's APU's are simply going to muscle out FX CPU's entirely, and they'll be AMD's bread and butter for all systems.
WOW!
EDIT: LOL rcoon
I get what you're saying but that's a horrible analogy....
It would just be nice to see how such extreme overclocking translated into real world performance vs [insert cpu of choice here].
Why do people overclock with LN2/DICE/SS etc? Because it's fun.
:toast:
Insane feat btw, 4 cores. Respect.
Stilt has some inside connections and the ability to sort thru a lot of hardware to find what works best. I doubt many Richland APUs will OC to 8 GHz. but it just shows that AMD is developing good products with a lot of potential.
The FX-9590 is another impressive processor with a 5.0 GHz. frequency without being overclocked.
Nice work AMD and Stilt.
