GIGABYTE 990FXA-UD7 + FX-8150 Bulldozer @ 8150MHz
Hey guys,
I wanted to chime in and give you a heads up on a recent OC event I did at LITS (London International Tech Show) overclocking the new AMD FX-8150 bulldozer with GIGABYTE 990FXA-UD7 rev1.1.
GIGABYTE UK & YOYOTECH.CO.UK helped us put on a show for the UK crowd who actually really liked this sort of benching and asked lots of questions which is pretty cool both men and women. I invited massman from hwbot.org and UK overclockers to come along and bench with me for the three days the show was on. Fun was had by all and we managed to get a monster OC on the CPU. Now i know why AMD called their FX chip FX-8150, it can hit 8150MHz:leet:

YOYO-TECH girls and go-go mobile hehe
Tom from Overclock3D hung out with us for a couple of days and did a really nice video to explain to his audience what overclocking is all about. Check it out!
I did a few short livestreams on my setup, this was during 4way SLI tests (overclockingTV had more videos but they dont save theirs to the library)

hahah to all the guys watching the livestream, yeap that was Andrew D from GIGABYTE UK office doing an awesome job as MC. We were certainly less boring than usual but the YOYO-TECH chant really stole the show, we were pissing ourselves laughing. Apparently a mate of his was at the show and recorded him on the phone and took a piss over drinks that night
That's Nigel on the left (UK country manager) enjoying the YOYO-TECH chanting. Top bloke :thumbup:
CROWDS ENJOYING THE SHOW
btw we had Dagmar overclocking with us (1Day's husband), nice to meet you mate :thumbup:
4WAY setup in action, we had some issues clocking the chip and then I finally realised what it was on the last day, LLC setting was set to highest value which caused instability. Once we dropped LLC down one level and went from 5Ghz to 7Ghz 3DMARK11 stable. Unfortunately we killed one of the GPUs by then so there was no 4 way runs past 5Ghz.
Took a quick LN2 swim, why nooooot
The big 8150MHz, validated by CPUz and all :thumbup:
