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.

I think it might be doable
I know bad joke. The Irony that I would use your words against you.
Crank it 'till it Hz boyz! :rockout:
I think its pretty amazing, can't deny that those numbers are super sexxy. Too bad it would appear that performance is still behind Intel, and AMD's current growth pattern doesn't really show them catching up to Intel anytime soon....thus Intel will still be able to keep their prices up and do not necessarily have to become more competitive. This is why prices rarely vary away from the MSRP Intel lists throughout the lifespan of their products....So we lose as consumers, just saying....
Guess it could run benchmarks at ~7ghz on 8 cores?
Would be nice to see that
Anyways really great overclock :toast:
