AMD FX-8370 (125W) at Crosshair V Formula (old one, no Z)

[FlanK3r]

So. there are few results with allinone cooler. The difference between this FX-8370 and 8370E from another thread is around extra 50 MHz for my FX-8370E in hard benchmarks. For validation is FX-8370E better more than 150 MHz! For light benchamrks it could be +50-70 MHz. But with FX-8370E I was not focused so much for maximum of SUperpi as in this case... What about CPUNB? Again, 8370E seems a bit better, for the same frequency I need more voltage at FX-8370. For 2700+ MHz with 8370E it was around 1.25V, here 1.3 V.

Now some banchmarks.

low voltage max Cinebench



HWBOT PRIME


Cinebench R10


Cinebench R11.5


Cinebench R11.5+high CPUNB


Cinebench R15

if its not prime stable then its not a overclock

impressive

Atleast he takes time out of his day to review these parts

I dont agree. Overlcocking is hobby. It has different ways.
One part is stable OC for daily OC. Nobody can define what is exactly stable. Its 30min OCCT, its 15 rounds in LINX AVX, its 10h of PRIME, its one day of AMD Core Damage (this program is not for public) ? From my point of view Stable OC is situation, when PC of any user has no symptoms of instability in everything what the user doing with your PC system. For someone games, for someone net and lightgames, for someone BOINC etc etc...

Second part is stability for benchmarks. Every benchmark has different stability. Example X264, Cinebenchs, wprime 1024M are the hardest. 3D Marks, hwbot prime are normal, Superpi, PiFast are light loaded.

Third part is OC as hobby. OC for best results. About it is example www.hwbot.org There is few league, novice, rockie, extreme, profi. With LN2 you have never stability, but it is fun and I wanna go higher for records.

Not really surprising that the E is better binned. I'd have expected them to do that considering that they need to fit within a lower TDP.

My old rig could be stable as heck in prime super pi ocd etc but when in cod4 it would crash and other games pushed too far- i could never figure out how to get the AXP-M 2500 beyond 2.2GHz (200×11)

Yeah, I had a similar experience with my E7200. Was 20hr p95 stable, but it crashed after ~1hr of my brother playing war thunder.
