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.

Honestly, I haven't seen much of Trickson at all lately.
I don't particularly care about LN2 overclocks, give me 8ghz 24/7 and then we'll be talking. :p
Consider this as a warning from your so called "trolling";)
Stay on topic
Mad props for the 9+ghz clocks though, looks like AMD's design certainly can have some potential if AMD can get the design tuned to perform adequately.
I too would love an 8ghz 8 cores on Oc at home but i do also live in the real world,,,,,, , its a demo, like a drag car, totally useless as a car to 99.9999% of the world but 1-man it IS life
and four foot snake ,leave the P4 on the history floor where it belongs , it was BS and any refs between BD and P4's Are fanboy Bs they are not in any way compareable in design (sept x86 etc:p blah blah tho)
I wanted this CPU with the 990FX core-logic, now i'd rather wait for 1090FX & Piledriver; Q1 2013 or something like that - that's release date of Piledriver, right? Can wait.
P.S. What really caught my attention was vCore - 1.8xxv for 8GHz+? Wonder what was the smell of it. :toast:
Neat fact about LN2, you can stick your finger for a second in LN2 because as the LN2 begins to evaporate, the gas created from the liquid expanding creates a barrier between your finger and the liquid LN2, so you don't get burned instantly. Learned and did it when I was taking Physics in college during a superconductor lab.
what is with all the bs tude on the internet of late?
QQ its only 2 cores, QQ i would be more impressed with 8 cores@5ghz.
GTFO
this is the fastest cpu speeds EVER
you want to see 8 cores@5ghz?
you do it and stop moaning about those who are pushing the envolope.
lol
Carmageddon II style: that's the last time it farted in your PC*. :laugh: Seriously though, this Dozer is one hell of OC'er: as long as you have LN2! Also, if that's how they prepare Piledriver** release - i love it.
*Original reads "That's the last time he shitted in the woods" when you break ice figure of a bear.
**I tell you somebody loves the Carmageddon series in AMD. Got to! I can certainly tell these are one of my fav game series.
