Last August 31, 2011, the team was able to push the AMD FX-8150 to 8429.38MHz taking the Guinness World Record for fastest CPU Clock Speed. Watch the video below.

The setup and settings used in the AMD FX Bulldozer to achieve this remarkable clock speeds are as follows:

  • Base Clock: 271.92MHz
  • Multiplier: 31.0X
  • Core Voltage: 2.016v
  • Memory: Corsair Dominator GT single module
  • DRAM ratio: 3:10
  • Memory Timings: 2-16-2-22 (what?!)
  • Motherboard: Asus Crosshair V Formula
  • Cooling Solution: Custom Liquid Nitrogen Evaporator setup -> Liquid Helium (halfway)

According to AMD, the AMD FX Bulldozer can be overclock or is possible to reach 5GHz just using a cooling solution around $100.
