We decided to test some FX-8150 CPU's on LN2 cooling. Results were quite interesting and the CPU's seems to scale very well under cold. If you disable cores, you will get more MHz for sure. In this video we will show some benchmarks at 7GHz+ speeds. Heatload from CPU is enormous at those clocks, so there was a lot of steam once again.

Remember that these CPU's are the first of their kind, so improvements are coming. When we will see 9GHz :)

Setups:
ASUS Crosshair V
AMD HD 6990
Kingston HyperX 2133CL8
Kingston SSDnow V100+
Antec 1200W
SF3D OC Inflection point
Windows 7 64-bit

Thanks to AMD, Jimm's PC Store and ASUS

  • Please do not hit dislike button, if you don't like the performance of Bulldozer. If there is some issue with the video, then it is ok.

    I am independent overclocker and this is not AMD marketing video as you can see.

  • now i what i dont understand is why do you only get 2 cores for 7+ GHz and for normal speeds use all 8 cores ?

    what sthe point of that ? now if it did that with 8cores all on then hell thats mega but only 2 its a joke

  • @SRSpoony When we do our overclokcing tests, we try to find the limits of some particular technology / architechture, so it is quite obvious, that we also test maximum freq's. In this case disabling bulldozer modules and using only one of them gives a lot of gain. Temperature and amount of current is a lot lower, so overclocking results will be better, if we talk about pure MHz. We reached 8GHz with 1 module and 7.2GHz with all 4 bulldozer modules enabled.

see all

  • rich people....

  • @superbungabunga SF3D is a company who does this for their job

  • @SF3DOC Hi, which did you recomend to me? the AMD Phenom 2 X6 1100T or the AMD FX 8100, I haved seen a lot of reviews and the Phenom seems to be the best, but I want to be complety sure.
