The AMD FX-8150 CPU has been overclocked repeatedly, which means that breaking record speeds isn't really all that easy anymore.
That didn't stop Thai overclocker 'ksin' from trying though. He even claims to have succeeded, pushing two of the eight cores to 8.80 GHz (8,805.64 MHz really). CPU-Z hasn't validated the results, probably on account of insufficient information as to how the feat was achieved, like cooling. The overclocker did mention some of the other hardware though: ASUS Crosshair V Formula and 4 GB of ADATA RAM.
To reach the speed, ksin used a base clock speed of 303.29 MHz, a 29.0x multiplier and a 1.86V core voltage. What does this mean for us? Nothing, really. Overclocking isn't actually relevant for the common man, especially when only 2 of 8 cores are used. Big numbers are still nice though, in their own way.
