AMD FX-8150 Bulldozer finally tested

[liberato87]

It's me that made the review, so I will take the liberty in responding. I will also respond to some questions from earlier!

BIOS was 9905 which was significantly better in both OC and performance than the old ones. All settings in BIOS were left on default, the only thing I modified was the memory frequency / timings / voltage and turned off all the things I don't use (LAN, USB 3.0, etc).
CPU is the final retail version, revision B2 and the Turbo Core worked without any problem: 1.4GHz when IDLE, 3.6 - 3.9GHz when all cores were used and 4.2GHz in single-threaded applications

Have a nice day,

thank you for reply.
I thought Monstru did the review

I red the "HPET thing" long time before, so I was curious to see if it matters or not.

I can ask you why you left northbridge clock at default (I saw that in the spi picture)?
I red of someone raised nb to 3200...
I can ask you if you will post a complete review when nda expires?
