FX 8320 testing

[charged3800z24]

I gave up on the OCZ Agility III drive for tonight. I moved on to the 8320. I booted up and set the cores to 4.4 with stock V's using Turbo Evo.
Ran a quick CB 11.5 64bit. Will do more testing later

Stock Cooler
8320 4.4Ghz 1.33v
2300mhz NB
2010 mhz DDR3
CB 11.5 64bit - 7.36pts

Wow nice on stock volts!

Whats the VID on your chip Jay?
Those core temps look pretty high compared to my 8350, especially considering the low V's...
EDIT: N'vmd, didn't notice it was on the stock cooler .

FWIW, most of the "on-the-fly" OC'ing software has been a little wonky (AOD & Turbo Evo).
If you've got an extra rig/laptop try using "ROG Connect". Thats worked out best for me.

nice Charged, with only box is very nice result. Im interesting for your Antec case with highend cooling results too .

Ok, now mount waterblock and show some serious stuff!

You guys playing around with those Vishera's almost makes me want to get one...

[Daveburt714]

You know your an AMD guy at heart Zeus...
You'd still have a hard time breaking 9 on CB 11.5 though!

Flank3r crushed me with his 9.04, I've been working on it but just can't get there...

It is getting colder here though! Guess I'm gonna have to lug this heavy azz 800D out on the patio!

[FlanK3r]

Dave, and after I get it to my H100, maybe I can try harder with Cinebench (some RAM tweaking etc). I would like 9.1 points :-P!

Wow 4.4Ghz on 1.33V,great result man . If you could tell me the power draw at the wall it would be great (I know I ask too much :P).

CB 11.5 run

[charged3800z24]

I threw on the Xigmatec Dark Knight cooler with single stock Fan (came with cooler). need mor v's for 4.85ghz. Going to try a little more, though, this cooler isn't real highend.

[informal]

Awesome stuff Charged! You got a great CPU there.

[Tomasis]

looks good! my cooler is not newest but it is about same voltage as mine, i see

[charged3800z24]

I got the Water setup back on. But am missing a Thumb Screw for the Block. My lines were flatten and need to un-kink before I can do some more testing on water. Temps are looking good right now. I hope tomorrow to get some testing in.

[FlanK3r]

It could be good CPU. 1.45V and 4860 MHz is not bad

[charged3800z24]

Well, it is 80*F in this room and I am running water warm loop till I can finish the garage setup. 4.9ghz was peak on this setup. Any more v's an the thing heated to much. got a WinRAR at 5ghz though...
Next up will be chilled water!

Winrar

[nunchucka]

so quick play with this 8320 i got with a sabretooth mobo and ty old ram i had in my 3yr old system. it gets hot quick but 4.8 is solid at 1.44v it seems to me.

[tbone8ty]

hmm these 8320 look great for the price compared to 8350

I have my 8210 at 4.4ghz at 1.4125v thinking I should go with a 8320 over 8350 for the price.

if I can get 4.8ghz on my havik 140 what do you think?

[Tomasis]

tbone, 4,8ghz is good! Seems be sweetspot for many cpus with moderate voltage

My cooler is 1,3k rpm 140 mm and I got 4,8ghz cb stable with v1.44

[tbone8ty]

sweet tomasis!

yah my 8120 couldn't clock higher even with higher volts...it just got to hot on my nzxt havic 140

hoping the 8320 isn't as hot at those volts so i can reach 4.6ghz+

im gonna do a kill-a-watt reading tonight to see how bad power consumption is lol

[charged3800z24]

I found the Thumb Screw for my block I was missing and got the Loop burned in. Still on warm water loop.
Was able to get just over 5ghz CB11.5 run.

5.04ghz 1.56v
2000mem
CB11.5 64bit - 8.53
