AMD A8-3870K Cracks 6 GHz with All Cores Enabled
Overclocker "Christian Ney" of the HWBOT community claims to have cracked the 6 GHz clock speed mark with an AMD A8-3870K APU, with all four of its cores enabled. The feat consisted of a clock speed of 6067.7 MHz achieved using a base clock of 258.2 MHz and multiplier of 47.0x. The memory was clocked at 3505 MHz, just 95 MHz short of a world-record. The chip was put through a scorching core voltage of 2V. Supporting components included GIGABYTE A75-UD4H motherboard, and GeIL EVO Corsa DDR3 memory. The setup was cooled sub-zero. CPU-Z Validator rejected this submission, probably because like us, it finds 2V vCore and 258.2 MHz base clock unreal for Llano, since it uses a common 100 MHz clock domain for BClk and PCIe.

I'd prefer to see a high CPU/GPU clock and test it out with the sub-zero cooling. Would be much more awesome to see the result.
Damn!
That's impressive.
I also didn't know those GeIL EVO Corsa RAMs could clock that high. :wtf:
Those DIMMs were cheap here a while ago. Real cheap. Enhance version though, but still cheap.
who knew??? :rockout:
This is a record actually considering this is an APU with All cores operating at 6 ghz each.I Dont see what the problem is when an Athlon XP took 1.8-2.0 VCore just to reach 2.6-3.0GHz
AMDs love the voltage.
