These are my everyday, 100% stable clocks. I can get my 8230 to 4.7 GHz, but compared to 4.3 it uses so much more power and heat it's not worth it. I might do a run at the maximums tonight though.

FX-8320 @ 4.3 GHz
WF3 7950 @ 1225/1550
8GB DDR3-1866 Ram
Win 8 Pro

FX 8320 @4.8GHz+HD 7970 @1230/1700

Yeah I miss water cooling myself, but I can't complain. Just using a reference TF3 cooler and a Dark Knight 2 for the CPU with two SP Corsair 120's.

The overlords threat me well, I like this system more than my previous watercooled one :)

Girls were always worried it would leak, and it allowed me to get obscenely abusive with my hardware (break it).

I would put some 7950 CFX numbers up, but I am waiting to get a new motherboard....

Something like that...

This doesn't include the P67 UD4 I killed, or the various 470s I went through, or the several i5-2500ks, AMD CPUs or their motherboards and power supplies.

All in the span of less than three years, yeah...


I'm ok with the ruling of the overlords on this one.

Wow.. are these related deaths from Watercooling? or just beating them too hard?

I go hard :(

If I was a crack addict I'd be the kind of crack addict that gives other crack addicts a bad name.

I killed a few 470s trying to modify them until I figured it out but they were dirt cheap.

AMD boards would toast mosfets all day on me until I finally got a decent quality 8+2 board that ended up frying when I got my 4.7GHz 1090T.


Edit: I'm being a ginger this time around, that's why you won't see me go over 1.3v with my i5, even though it will easily do 5.2GHz or more and not get too hot with the air cooler I'm just not prepared to tell the overlords "I killed another one" of anything.

:biggrin: Not worth killing your golden i5 for a couple hundred Mhz. When you say overlords... does it mean you have 2+ wives ... ^_^

How would I know if my results are average for my CPU and my GPU?

If I read it right, it say's I'm better than 49% of all results - but what that means seems ambiguous to me.

It tells me that I'm slightly (1%) behind the average of all users ?
