Well I am working on getting the watercooling setup. It is on a leak run for a bit so far so good. Should have watercooled benchmarks up tomorrow at some point.

firstly nice,,,, 2nd how many power supplies you using there are you running a peltier on it

It was a grand day when my 8350 arrived. Enjoy that nice feeling in your gut of pure awesomeness.

I think I may have a good clocker. Stock vcore is 1.296v Turbo Off

Good luck with your clocking!

Why didn't u go with a better mobo instead? CHV? Saber?

That's about the same as what mine run.... have fun heating up the room with it!

Nice, lots of raddage in that box.

Yup I am pretty set for any setup inside of that case cooling wise.

I am just running the water cooling off of the second PSU to leak test it.

My 8320 does 4Ghz @ 1.26v. Can you see how far low on volts you can go on your new CPU @ 4 Ghz?

Holy pain in the arse windows install. For some reason even with the ahci driver windows can't find my ssd during install and the first attempt with the hdd failed somehow. To make matters worse using a clone of my old windows install I can't get nvidia drivers to not bsod at boot up.

Oh and if anyone was curious you do have to install the molex onto the mobo with three cards installed for stability.

EDIT:

Rant averted finally got it to install on a spare HDD, going to have to try and clone that to the SSD at some point.

When cloning a HDD to a SSD watch your sector alignment. They're set up a bit different.

yea I figured out how to use it, set cpu=8


although I couldn't get a decent score, about 1k away from yours.

what instruction set do you use?

I run XOP only and adjust the thread count as well. Just don't take it off default test and it'll be legit.

@ Durvelle, I think you may have faired a bit better in the CPU lottery. I picked up another 8350 yesterday which I think may be a bit better than my current CPU but not much. Still premature for any real conclusion though. I just barely got it installed last night and tried to see what I needed to stabilize at 5.0, too much so far IMO but I ran out of time.
Nice buy Durvelle.

Got CPU at 4.8GHz @1.464v. Testing stability

 

[Random Murderer]

Got CPU at 4.8GHz @1.464v. Testing stability

Nice. If it keeps scaling like that, you can expect 5GHz at ~1.48VCore.

Nice, looking good Durvelle
1.464 is that bios setting before LLC kicks in??

Nice. If it keeps scaling like that, you can expect 5GHz at ~1.48VCore.

Not likely. Ithink the 9590 defaults to 1.5 and it's cherry picked. Never know afew may have gotten by the hounds but I have my doubts.

The FX-9590 chips are essentially overclocked 8350s. It's entirely possible that there are 8350s that clock with less voltage than it's 9590 counterpart.
Besides, 1.5VCore at 5GHz is the median for 8350s on decent cooling and boards.
I'm hoping to push 4.8 out of this chip without going water. Considering it runs stable and cool at 4.4GHz with 1.36VCore, I'm thinking 4.8GHz should put me around 1.46-1.48VCore.

Oh, and if you're wondering where I'm pulling these numbers from, it's not a hat nor my ass. There's a guy named RGone that has done extensive clocking of these FX 6 and 8 chips. Maybe you've heard of him? Of course you have, you had conversations with him about this very matter(9590/8350) on overclockers.com

let us know how it goes, sounds a bit optimistic to be honest as they can kick some heat out

i can get 4.8 stable with 1.48v, higher needs a lot more volts and gives a lot more heat ,at least on mine, with a decidedly dated and average water loop not a really good one(an end goal im aiming for), oh and im not 100% sure ill ever get 5ghz stable on this chip as some arent that great in fact id say most wont do 5ghz

 

[d1nky]

damn to get mine fully stable at 4.875ghz needed 1.53v (tweaked ram 2750cpunb)

for it to crunch fully non stop needed 1.55v no errors or glitches, but tbh it was a leaky chip anyway!

When I have time to clock, I will let you all know how it goes. TBH, uni is kicking my ass, lol
And yeah, I think heat will be my limiting factor here. I refuse to go water unless I use my H100i from my intel rig when that gets a custom loop.

 

[Irony]

My temp sensor on my CPU is off by about 7c I think. I set my pump to spin up once CPU hits 45c, and when it reads 38 in windows the pump starts speeding up. I think temps might still be my limiting factor. If its really off by about that much, then when it reads upwards of 50c at 5ghz it must be around 60. I can't wait till it gets cold!!

Of course I know who RGone is he knows his stuff. I just thought that may be overly optomistic. I've struck out on another chip just recently, I'm fairly certain at this point that it's worse than my current chip. I have decent cooling and it's failing at 1.476v and 4.64G
Just saying only a few will get that lucky. I'm sure that aMD was picking them over for a while before the release of the 9590.

 

[Johan45]

Well the new 8350 is definately a dog and the ram isn't as good as the snipers I have already so back to the store they go. A different place had the 9370 for $249, guess who couldn't resist!
Now I just have to wait till it gets here.

woohooo, massive price drop on FX-9590 € 299,-

Wow on that same page it listed the 9370 at only €10 less than the 9590 that is huge. I just noticed that your pricing and ours are very similar accept your is euros which would be what about a $1.40 Canadian??

[Johan45]

That rocks Durvelle. You got a real winner in that chip of yours!!!

 

[Durvelle27]

Tweaking settings but my 8350 @5.092GHz @1.50v
