Andre Yang Sets New Global CPU Frequency World Record – AMD FX-8350 At 8.794 GHz
World renowned overclocker Andre Yang is in the spotlight again for setting a new overall CPU frequency world record with a CPU-Z-validated speed of 8.794 GHz, this time using a new AMD FX-8350 processor. This beats not only the old FX-8350 record of 8.670 GHz, but also the overall frequency limit (previously 8.709 GHz achieved using an AMD FX-8150 processor) – both of which were also done by him.
The hardware used to set the score included the AMD FX-8350 processor using a BCLK of 283.69 MHz and a multiplier of 31x with 2.064V coursing through it and cooled using liquid nitrogen, an ASUS ROG Crosshair V Formula-Z motherboard and unknown G.Skill RAM. The score is date-stamped 19 November 2012, but has only just been made public.
