Unityofsaints takes top AMD FX-8320 spot in SuperPi 1M

Australian overclocking titan unityofsaints has set a new record in the AMD FX-8320 8-core CPU rankings for SuperPi - 1M.

Cooled by a liquid nitrogen pot, the CPU was pushed to a massive (though far from record-breaking) 7811 MHz (+123.17% over stock). This high clock speed allowed the Australian enthusiast to finish the SuperPi - 1M benchmark in just 9 seconds and 625 milliseconds:

Fortunately, unityofsaints is one of those rare overclockers who actually shares their settings. For this run, he uploaded a screenshot of the ASUS TurboV Core utility showing all the voltages and bus speeds for the AMD FX-8320. Let's take a quick look at the main settings:

The BCLK bus speed was set to 278 MHz (which, with a 28x multiplier, yields an effective clock of 7811 MHz). The CPU vCore was set to a staggering 2.050V (do not try this at home without liquid nitrogen!), CPU-NB sat at 1.700V, and the DDR3 memory voltage had to be pushed to a high 1.900V (on air, it's safer to keep it under 1.700V).

The enthusiast's test bench consisted of the following components:

• Motherboard: ASUS CROSSHAIR V FORMULA-Z (likely with an SPD mod);

• RAM: Crucial Ballistix DDR3 8GB (2x2GB) 2133 MHz 9-10-9-24 1.65V, BL25684FN2139.Z16F64 (BL111F4.9J 6100027174);

• Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 (GK208).

And this is what the setup looked like:
