I recently bought an AMD FX8370 from Overclockers UK to try on my Asus Crosshair V Formula motherboard.
This processor is one of the three new models in the FX range which also includes the power saving 8370E and 8320E.
I have owned both the 8150 and 8350 FX chips before so I was eager to see how this one compared.
Cooling was with a Promlimatech Megahalems CPU cooler and two Artic F12 fans in push/pull configuration.
First test was to see the lowest voltage needed for 5ghz which was 1.42v which rose to 1.44v under load
Brief test with AIDA64 at 5124 MHz, 1.5v
Cinebench R11.5 and R15
wPrime at 5192 MHz
Pifast at 5350 MHz
SuperPi at 5398 MHz
Maximum validation on air cooling was 5513 MHz
