Bosco Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 The NDA has lifted on AMD's Vishera FX-8350 CPU. Have a read on what Greg thinks about it: http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/amd_fx8350/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 I wonder how the power consumption was when overclocked...5+ GHz and that voltage has got to be toasty! I was hoping the single-threaded performance would go up to at least Phenom II level though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg has some serious watercooling going on haha Gonna read this later though. 5+GHz tell me its all cores now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

red1776 Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Actually the H-100 handled it very well It's now sitting in the Holodeck ( I installed the third radiator) and is 23 minutes into OCCT @ 5.3GHz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also 5.5 looks nicer than 5.3 Haha well looks like you finally have that upgrade you where after now to bring quadfire back again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are rumors that with Heavy duty watercooling 5.5 is doable, guess I'm gonna find out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 How much does the CPU pull at those speeds/volts? My 8120 pulled over 400 watts when pushed hard... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 It appears that OC power consumption is down by 15-18% with the 8350. So basically it's still sky-high compared to anything else on the market? That's disappointing to say the least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremeDS Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 So basically it's still sky-high compared to anything else on the market? That's disappointing to say the least. Its the only comsumption benchmark I remember from the top of my head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Wow...it's not any more efficient than the 8150 at stock. The higher clocks can be blamed for that I guess...which means overclocked consumption should be down a decent amount (but still sky high). Oh well. People will buy them anyway.
