AMD FX-8350 Overclocked to 8.176 GHz with 8 Cores Enabled
Last week's 7.443 GHz overclocking feat of the AMD FX-8350 certainly wasn't the last of it, for the chip. Korean overclocker NAMEGT achieved a clock speed of 8176.47 MHz, with all eight cores enabled, and both DRAM channels populated. 8176.47 MHz was achieved with a base clock of 281.94 MHz, multiplier of 29X, and 1.932V to fuel the chip. ASUS ROG Crosshair V Formula-Z motherboard and Samsung-made DDR3 memory was used. The best performing chip was binned from two 12-chip trays. Cooling it all was trusty liquid nitrogen. Find the CPU-Z validation here, and HWBot certification here.

Personally, even if @ ... say ... 7.5 GHz or something, i would like to know how it performs when compared to stock: interested in knowing the performance VS GHz increase.
Later, and for comparison purposes, i would like this (@ lower speeds, if necessary) compared by percentage VS stock speeds against other offerings from both AMD and Intel: would be interesting to know not how much better / worse a processor is but how much it's gains from a fixed overclock percentage.
I'd say this particular chip should be able to do @ least 0.5 GHz more if using only 1 module, but that's an estimation on my part.
Finding the limits of current tech is no mean feat, and without pushing the limits, how are you supposed to know if there has been any progress at all?
Where is Trickson, I demand trickson come in here and talk crap about AMD.
When AMD break the record with only 1 core enabled he is all up in the thread talking negative. Now 8 cores are enabled he is nowhere to be found!
Edit:
eidairaman1: Wow Trickson has changed? Never saw this coming. Congratulations Trickson.
Cmon, 8 full cores overclocked past 8Ghz, that's not a trivial thing
Tell me please, what's the overclock record for the Ivy? ...Exactly.
So, correct if I'm wrong, but doesn't that mean Piledriver has much better overclockability potential then Ivy? ;)
Honestly PD does perform better especially in the temperature dept. Only further steppings should improve it
It means under liquid nitrogen a binned Piledriver has better overclocking potential than Ivy Bridge.
Until somebody counters this record on an Intel rig my above statement will be true. And the Intel Fanboy's cringe when I say it.
with little luck,i might set with just the same 4% vcore increase,40% more Bclk while gaining a whooping 60% clock...that 6 Ghz for daily :toast:
