We promised some Bulldozer overclocking with J.J. from ASUS, and here it is!
Given that the FX-8150 currently holds the world record for consumer CPU overclocking, this should be interesting...

What a noobish overclocking example of this processor !

If I was a noob watching this video I`d never buy one.

1. This chip will be dead shortly on over 1.5v on air !

2. This chip scales best with 1866Mhz + RAM (huge leap between 1600 and 1866 even - search the web)

3. Completely useless overclocking, take a look at the CB score ! (mine 8120 gets around 7.0 in Cinebench R11.5 at 4.3GHz) FX`s love FSB overclocking - not just a multi !

4. Stress it with PRIME95 and show stability first

RIDICULOUS

First of all what are the temps? did he even monitor them?

This dingaling is using 1600 ram - get the 1866 so you dont have to worry about your ram getting retarded over higher fsb speeds

Should have started with fsb increase to maximize overall system speed, then the multiplier for internal speeds, and lastly voltage for stability

oh yeah and one more thing... OVERCLOCKING ISN'T ALWAYS THIS EASY

[Ri1seAgainst]

@subuk420 it does not support all 4 dimms in 1866 to my knowledge.

the thing i thought was sad, is its not a scorpius platform...just because they use a GTX 580.. /sigh.. opther than that, this vid is all good

@DBProduccionesapson any corsair psu is decent :]

[DBProduccionesapson]

I was buy  AMD FX 8120 , gigabyte 880GM-USB3L 4 RAMS SKILL, but I forgot buy the powwer supply, do u recommended power supply pls

[JamesMFG]

My girl said cool video but the wall is dirty, you should clean that up a little bit! lol

liquid nitrogen?! no liquid helium

[KharnakPVP]

software overclocks are showing abnormal ratings in cinebench as opposed to bios overclocks. when I SW OC my CB scores are way up since CB thinks I'm running at the stock 3.1 GHz. For a true score, overclock your shit the right way... In the bios

[lolzxDrofl]

@anonymousb37 ok i have the same cooler i have some idea ur max temp is 65 degrees dont exceed that ever and its risky to even get close to 65 degrees run it at 1.4V and stress test it at 4.5ghz if its above 65 degrees stop the stress test and dont o.c it past the degrees you have now... and if its like 50 degrees even at 4.5ghz then u could risk running 1.425V to 4.7ghz and run stability tests weekly for 15-30 mintes (60 degrees above can be risky so this is you're precaution)

[anonymousb37]

@lolzxDrofl I have a Corsair H60 and my max load temps are around 42C.
