Earlier on in the month we already reported that AMD overclocked its FX processor slightly over 8000 MHz (on LN2).
That got them into the Guinness Records
Overclocker Andre Yang now breaks the record with 8461.51 MHz. According to the validation page, 8461.51 MHz was achieved using a base clock speed of 272.95 MHz, with 31.0X multiplier, and a brutal core voltage of 1.992V (almost 2 volts!). As with AMD's record feat, an ASUS Crosshair V Formula motherboard was used. A single 2 GB Corsair-made memory module was used doing 909.8 MHz (1818.16 MHz DDR) with timings of 9-9-9-24T. Like with AMD's feat, only two out of the FX-8150's eight cores were enabled.
