Unityofsaints: AMD FX-8350 Record in Cinebench R11.5

Australian overclocker unityofsaints has officially broken the Cinebench R11.5 record for the AMD FX-8350. The previous record, set by Frenchman kikoone31, had stood for a full year.

To claim the top spot, the Australian pushed the FX-8350 chip to an impressive 7641 MHz using liquid nitrogen. The benchmark session ultimately yielded a score of 13.18 points:

Here's what unityofsaints had to say about his accomplishment:

Damn, 2.1 volts to the CPU in Cinebench! The chip's still alive, thankfully. LN2 consumption was about 1 liter for 4 runs, not as crazy as I expected. I hit this score 3 times, but couldn't get the screenshot until I managed to push it further; the actual multiplier was 28x.

Indeed, 2.1 volts is an insane amount of power for a 32nm chip. Crucially, you should *never* apply such voltage to a CPU without liquid nitrogen cooling! For air-cooled setups, it's recommended to stick to 1.450-1.500 volts.

The enthusiast's test setup included these components:

Motherboard: ASUS ROG Crosshair V Formula
RAM: 2x 2GB G.SKILL PI modules
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 (GK208)
