piledriver - Official AMD FX4300,FX6300 and FX8350 review thread

nkata said:
As soon as the piledriver appeared on OCUK. I chose the 8350.

I will run some testing and benchmarks. I got the 2133 ram to see what effects overclocking the bus will have compared to just multiplier clocking. I will be using 1920 x 1200p with my twin frozr 6950 for graphics, not ultra high end but average. A 990x chipset motherboard with the latest available bios from ASUS and 8GB of ram. Cooling is TRUE with push pull akasa vipers. Case is Lian Li v1000 plus with two 120mm fans.

I will determine the highest bus clock for the system and then use multipliers to get the best OC.

Suggestions for benchmarks? Only freely available ones please, I do not own many games and won't buy just to bench.

Overall a typical setup for many on here with AMD.

EDIT: Order Status: In our warehouse queue.

That was the review that orginally had me worried about the heat output of an 8350 compared to my 920. I wonder of that HardOCP review was of an older stepping 920 or something.



It's a shame they have been quiet about when they'll get stock.

Same here, but was not really expecting it. Could always pick it up I suppose if it is in stock today.

Going to get myself a power tester :) to see what stock power in prime looks like at minimum volts.
