First impression before next week - FX mania

[FlanK3r]

Today I have 5 new FXs...Finally I have lovely FX-8300, new one FX-6300, ES 9590, newer batch of FX-8350 and today later coming from shop FX-9370. I wanna begin with FX-8320. Because I have it in benchtable and never tested this piece before. After quick test of FX-8300 and after flagships FX-9370+9590.



My methodics will be max validation (up to 1.575V), max superpi, max Cinebench and few interesting benchmarks (some 3D, some interesting 2D).

Last one 9370



srry for photo quality. Its mobile phone

daaaaaaaaaamn dude!!! what are steppings? can't read some because of lighting.

[FlanK3r]

1311PGN is FX-9370

This is a really exciting test! Thanks for sharing with us, FlanK3r.

I'm very curious about the 8300. If it clocks anywhere near the 9370 and 9590 it'll be the bargain CPU of the decade. (In South Korea I haven't found any new FX 9xxx yet, but you can get an 8300 for $130.)

[Daveburt714]

I know it's a lot of work Flank3r, but I'll be watching for your results....

I'm really jonesing for a new chip to OC, but from what I've seen the 9xxx chips don't have that much room compared to my three 8xxx chips.
Especially considering the price (and combo crap most site require)!

Good luck with your new batch Bro!
Not sure I could find one, but the low power 8300 has had my attention for awhile. It'll be interesting to see what you can do with it...

8GHz here comes Flanker

Still waiting in the US ...

We can get a 95w FX8300 off eBay - from SK - for $210.

[chinobino]

This should be very interesting.

Which motherboard(s) will you be using? Just the Crosshair V Formula-Z in your sig?

[tbone8ty]

1335 stepping for 8350 hmm nice! Very curious how these have progressed

8350 for 179.99

Where's the mania? ;-)

[FlanK3r]

next week ...

[csimon]

Since the price has dropped, I would really consider buying an FX-9370 if I really thought I could muster 5ghz F@h 24/7 on my CHV.
Can you do some stability tests with that software FlanK? Maybe post some ppd's as well? I realize it would take quite a lot of time so no worries if it's too much trouble.

[FlanK3r]

ok, I can try it

[FlanK3r]

2 of CPUs are done, next two in progress

There is little preview...Hm, what is it this benchmark?...Maybe new thread for results in this?

[FlanK3r]

OK, preview nr2... 9590 ES.

Cinebench R11.5 1.475V


Superpi 1M 1.55V


Soon more, more, more results and impression

[Johan45]

Looks good so far.

[FlanK3r]

seems the best "air" benchable FX. All CUs are strong. The weakest is CU3 (lastone if first is CU0), but still very good.

[csimon]

FlanK, what is stock (default) core voltage for the FX-9370 @ 4.4ghz? Is it the same as stable 4.7ghz or does it need to be raised? How much for stable 5.0ghz?
I appreciate any info since I may be considering this chip. Right now my FX-8350 requires 1.45v to run 4.4ghz F@H stable 24/7.

Nice preview and nice ES Flanker

Just like any chip you won't know till you get it in the board. I have a 9370 I just picked up and had 4.8 at 1.428v prime stable for 30 minutes , 4.9 was 1.476 but I still haven't managed 5.0. Been up to 1.55v but time has been limited so I'm still not finished. Some other things I'd like to try before pumping more juice into it.
All I'm saying is there's not too many indicators and every chip is different and hardware plays a big part in that as well.. Some friends of mine and I have been doing some P-State comparisons with the 8350's which tends to show a pattern. But we've had a fairly limited sample and they don't put that info on the Box.

Thanks. I like those volts for your 9370 (except for 5ghz), it clocks stable w/ less volts than my 8350.

Initially I was really impressed with it till I hit 5.0. I had limited time last night but I think I may have I dentified where the issue is. Just out of curiosity I dropped my ram speed back and had 5.0 @ 1.52v but only stable for about 18 minutes on P95 blend. This chip seem to have a very sensitive/flaky IMC or something. I'm going to experiment this evening , time permitting, with some looser sub timings and different NB frequencies.

Sweet!

If these can do 5ghz on AIO water cooling I'm sold

Test it!
