Renowned German overclocker Roman “der8auer” Hartung recently revisited an old CPU to see if a newer motherboard and a voltage controller could help him squeeze even more performance out of his already impressive AMD FX-8350 processor.
ThePCEnthusiast.com: "When hunting for the perfect motherboard for your processor and system, you definitely need to consider its features and capabilities. Today we are going to look at the Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z, a feature-rich motherboard based on AMD 990FX Chipset, with Socket AM3+, and is best paired with AMD FX “Vishera” processors. The Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z is also an upgraded/updated version of the previous Crosshair V Formula, loaded with more features than its predecessor. For AMD lovers, specially those who are planning to build a high end AMD-based system, I’m pretty sure you would want to know more about the Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z."
Maximum PC: The overclocking community is wasting no time putting AMD's new 8-core "Vishera" FX-8530 processor to work chasing world records for CPU frequency. To wit, MSI yesterday sent out a press release bragging that it's 990FXA-GD80 motherboard was used by an overclocker to set a world record of 8.37GHz, and it's already been leapfrogged...twice! The new record, at least for today, stands at 8.67GHz, giving Asus a bit of momentary bragging rights.
