Matt26LFC overclocks AMD FX-8320 to 8 GHz, setting two new records for the chip
British overclocker Matt26LFC used liquid nitrogen to push an AMD FX-8320 CPU to 8 GHz, setting two new records in the process.
British overclocker Matt26LFC has secured two gold medals in the category for the 4-module, 8-thread AMD FX-8320 processor. Armed with the ASUS ROG Crosshair V Formula, one of the most powerful AM3+ motherboards, the enthusiast pushed the chip to 7730-8004 MHz (depending on the benchmark), taking first place in both wPrime - 32m and PiFast:
Benchmark: | Result: | AMD FX-8320 clock: | Core voltage: | RAM speed: | RAM timings: |
wPrime - 32m | 4sec 250ms | 7730 MHz | 1.968V | 2200 MHz | 9-11-10-30 |
PiFast | 17sec 720ms | 8004 MHz | 2.040V | 2206 MHz | 7-12-7-28 |
For cooling, Matt26LFC used a liquid nitrogen pot, pairing the FX-8320 and ASUS ROG Crosshair V Formula with two G.SKILL PI DDR3 RAM modules and a 1600W Super Flower Leadex power supply.
