piledriver - Official AMD FX4300,FX6300 and FX8350 review thread

Yea but not sure if it is wise to go beyond 4.6GHz on overclock...think review have show the CPU alone at 4.8GHz would consume around 300W? So would most likely need water cooling for that, or the most-high-end air cooler.

will let you know.

I have full water loop ready for my 8350 as soon as OCUK get it in stock.

Hoping for 5Ghz.

passey I may be wrong but that the asrock 990fx extreme 3 only has a a 4+1 vrm for the power without a heatsink, so they might run hot/hold back you overclock with instability when you try and push the chip past its thermal limits. Ideally If i was investing in an am3+ back when they were coming out I would made sure it was 8+2. But i made a better choice and jumped ship and I don't regret it at all

It does only have the 4+1 but have heat sinked vrm's.

I've had 4.2 ghz out of my 1075t and its been perfectly fine @1.4V.

Thats a 33% overclock.

getting an 8350 to 5ghz will only be a 25% increase so as long as its around the same voltage should be fine.

Just curious, has anyone here gone from a X$ 955 or X6 1090T and above to a comparable one of these Piledriver's?

If so, how is the performance gain because i've not seen any benchmarks pitting the old Phenoms against these new Piledriver's anywhere.

There not in stock in the UK yet anywhere so no 1 has of yet.

A lot of people are going from Phenom's to piledrivers looking at the forums though

Did see something interesting when reading the 8320/8350 owners thread on overclockers.net. Apparently if you turn off cores 1, 3, 5, & 7 iso that you only have one core per module it'll boost IPC circa 20%. Very interesting for when you're running those lower threaded games and the like. This'll also mean you can clock it a little bit higher at the same time so will make it much more competitive in WoW and the like.

just swapped my 8350 order for a 8320.

will have togive this a go.

Do you have links?

Looks like the 8350 will ship out tomorrow. Probably wont arrive till Monday though.

Good work Passey, is that 53C at 4.5GHz. 1.33V ?
Click to expand...

no its set to 1.43V in the bios.

Going to 5.0 ghz tomorrow.

Just realised when I installed windows 8 and updated bios it swapped my HDD to IDE and window s8 doesn't like it being changed even editing the reg.

Looks like I might reinstall windows 8 tomorrow as well and maybe put my HDD's into RAID0. Aiming for 8.1 WEI.

This was it @ 4.5ghz

safe temp is to stay under 62C btw

As long as your core temperature has not exceeded the high side of the 60 degree mark for extended periods of time you should be ok. 62 degrees holds a generous safety net to begin with.

I hope I was able to answer your questions, If you have any more inquiries don't hesitate to contact us.

just managed to get it to boot at 4.8ghz , 200 X 24 @ 1.5V.

Will run some tests to see if its stable.

Couldn't get it to boot @5.0ghz, tried every multiplyer with an fsb from 200 to 220. also upped voltage to 1.51V.

Whats the max safe voltage?
