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:
