Just out of curiosity, has anyone experimented with removing the HS on FX chips?

Just out of curiosity, has anyone experimented with removing the HS on FX chips?
not worth. it may increase temp instead and crack the cpu. amd happen to build better cpu than intel in that regard Lol
I've also seen samples with 1.325v, 1.337v and as well as one more reported at ~1.36v.Quote:

Using the same settings with which I ran a 1hr. 4.7GHz Prime large fft test (~1.476v load)... I was able to complete Cinebench at 4.9GHz but not 5.0GHz. I'll probably switch to water cooling before pushing/testing higher.
Nice results Flanker :)
Looks like the 8350 I just picked up about an hour ago is a keeper then. Mine is doing similar results but I'm using 32 gigs 1600 ram on a Biostar TA990FXE.
Voltages very similar to yours excepting this board has serious vdroop so I have to up the base voltage a bit more.

Gave the ole girl a lil more voltage :p:

I'm loving Piledriver atm. Can't wait for colder weather to move in.
give me some time Zeus, I got to test 2 days ago, yesterady and today I was away :)...So Tomorow again will continue in testing.Quote:

Another quicky run.

Im back with my Cinebenchs, I found maximum for CPU load and over 5200 MHz was hard time...one run OK, second crash or bluscreen etc...
SO there are some results with voltage scaling:
5088 MHz 1.525V (load 1.5V) 8.82 points

5142MHz 1.538V in load 1.525V 8.89 points
http://i.imgur.com/xrjD9.png
5192 MHz and 8.97 points 1.548V (in load drop to 1.535V)
http://i.imgur.com/EcYF4.jpg
5219 MHz and 9.02 points 1.56V (in load 1.548V)
http://i.imgur.com/XM0Ln.jpg
5245 MHz 1.575V (in load 1.565V) 9.04 points

Up to 5150-5170 MHz is it really easy, after I had many crashes
ordered 8320. hope to get this under the week. I dont want wait too long ( also added in order as Tridentx 2400, Sammy 2x 830) :up:
I look forward for Air cooling record cpuz, cinebench :D
Gz on breaking the 9 points! Awesome job, i wish i could get my hands on an 8320 myself hehe! Long live the underdog!
I tried quickly validation with all cores, high CPUNB and high memory and some device in IO :)...SO over 5400 MHz :). I think, I could get with 2 cores and tweaking about 5450-5500 MHz.
The temptation was too much, ordered a 8350 today as well :) Hopefully it'll play good with a 890fx board.Quote:

Today nothing interesting, no time :-(...Only quick piFast benchmark....

I know, this is only 4800 MHz, bored, but score is similar as 5300 MHz Zambezi FX! Hmmm?:)
Wez, :D
its very interesting, onyl old x87 superpi is worse, other is much better :).
the post man was there while am at work.
I have the same batch as Daveburt714, canīt wait to play with my new babe. :D
Yesterday I tried only CInebench R11.5 single core performance at 5015 MHz. Not bad (for AMD). And push up my PiFast at the same clocks and settings.

piFast 5015 Mhz

Quick validation with high NB all cores,is it not maximum, after I tried one multiplier up and it frozed...So about 5450-5500 will be the maximum.

Max validation with 1.55V and ambient temperatures 21C

Looks great FlanK3r! , maybe its time to change out my X6 1090 now... but im saving money for going and racing on Brno circut in april 2013 :)Quote:

yes, now are in some shops ready. But I dont knwo, what situation will be maybe in next 14 days...
Pulled the trigger on an 8350 yesterday, Frys had it in stock and was selling at msrp. Even after tax it was cheaper than newegg. Stock VID on mine is 1.38, needs 1.475 for 4.8Ghz.
StinkEye: The VID on mine is a little lower (1.3625), but 1.45-1.48v and 4.7-4.9Ghz seems to be the sweet spot for retail chips on ambient cooling...
The higher VID on yours may actually offer a little more headroom should you decide to go cold!
If you'll notice though, there's a decent performance boost (due to IPC) and better power consumption.
Sounds like you got a decent sample.
Gratz on the new chip and have fun! :D
Thank you, it's definitely fun. I have it on custom watercooling with it's own 360 rad loop, so heat doesn't seem to be a problem. It doesn't feel like it is on the ragged edge like the 8120 did when pushed to 4.8, overall I am pretty happy with it.
Finally I uploaded today this video...Cinebench R11.5 5200+ MHz

Nice results and chip Flank3r! The review sample which i got here is quite old (1224 PGN if I'm not mistaken) but atleast 5GHz it does easily.
Anyway, let me share my 3dm11 result with Vishera:
http://www.abload.de/img/snaphsot000642ry2.jpg
CPU @ 5077 1.56V / Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 / ADATA Gaming 2000 9-9-9-27 (PSC)
Someone must give a try to FX-8350 paired with a good 7970 all under LN2 and test 3dmark11 to see the result. :)
