I hate you INTEL!!!
I miss my AMD rig... it was such a fun playing with the CPU... now I have IB G2020 yes its good but where is the fun with locked CPU :(

A very thermally limited run.
The old Ultra 120 Extreme (with one of the pipes punctured) + a single Enermax Magma fan are simply useless for this kind a load.
It idles at 40 (at best) in 26 celcius ambients and in the middle of the run the temperatures are close to 60 already.
The first two units (CU0 & CU1) can easily pass CB15 at 5.2GHz (1.43V), the third unit (CU2) 5.1GHz (1.43V) and the weakest fourth (CU3) unit 5GHz at <1.4V, despite the unoptimal temperatures.
In FX-9 series scale this a low leaking part, however on FX-8 series scale it would have extreme leakage rating.

I have the same issue. CU0 and CU1 seems the best, CU3 very weak. I can run 4940 MHz Cinebench with 1.355V only (but CPUNB at stock) but for 5100 MHz I need 1.5V and Im at the limit of temperatures. 5150 MHz sometiems OK, sometimes error of Cinebench+BSOD.

FX-8350 @ 4817mhz @ 1.47v
air cooled on nzxt havik 140 with dual 120mm xigmatek fans.
this is probably the best i could do with my chip and cooling. ill tweak some more...maybe some memory timings and bump NB to 2600mhz

FX-9370 and 9590 come with liquid cooling now!

it is borowed (was) 9590. Now is back in demonstrator PC of one czech shop.

Nice run with some decent V_Core for an 8350. The one I have is a real piggy when it comes to power.

Just 2 more points you would've had me! Nice run though.!
thanks :), yes, I could set a bit better RAM timings or +200 MHz CPUNB (but this could be more stress for CPU)
Received an Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-HD3 FM2+ mobo today, first one that was available here. Also bought an cheap richland A4-4000. Max BCLK selectable in the bios is 140MHz so this is the limit beside memory timings.

Here's a new one :

there is not the poroblem with FX. Only your CPUNB must be higher or the same as DRAM efective clocks
Must admit i expected more and i did noot know that BCLK overclocking is a mes with the onchip GFX enabled. On my setup i could not increase by 1 MHz or select anything higher that 1333MHz for the ram without an external gfx.
Edit: Hmm switched from VGA to HDMI now above settings work without an external gfx.

its default...2600 HT is default for 15h FX
