Matt26LFC captures four gold medals with AMD's 4-module FX-8120 chip

British overclocker Matt26LFC has secured four gold medals in the AMD FX-8120's 4-module category, setting new records using liquid nitrogen.

You'd think that after eight years since the AMD FX-8100 (32nm/Zambezi) processors launched, their potential would be fully explored, making new records in 2020 incredibly difficult, if not impossible. But luckily for us, British overclocker Matt26LFC isn't one to shy away from a challenge. He somehow got his hands on an exceptionally good AMD FX-8120 chip and managed to set a whopping four records in the processor's model category!

During the benchmark runs, the FX-8120's frequency ranged from 6718 MHz to 6736 MHz. The CPU was cooled using a liquid nitrogen pot and mounted on an almost ultimate AM3+ board, the ASUS ROG Crosshair V Formula.
