The old Bulldozer CPUs had a shitload of headroom as long as you had the cooler for it. You should be able to push to 4.5 easily with some voltage tweaks.

overvolt this fucker. i thought my mobo is holding me back, turned out i could overvolt it to hell and hit stable 4.5 with no effort

What I mean by getting a 9590 is that it will get better clocks stabile at any given voltage, my average 8350 does 4.4 at 1.38v, but a 9590 might to 4.5 or 4.6 on the same 1.38v.
My chip is so bad that it can't even do 4.5 stable on air, the 1.44374 vcore is too high and my T4 cooler can't handle it, so a better than average piece of silicon like the 9590 would be nice.

It will blow if you have a shitty 4 phase vrm.

I assume so is your time messing with it until it catches fire and you throw it in the bin.

Kek, even buildzoid has never killed an FX chip and he has videos of 8GHz sessions on the 9590 where it's at 1.9v.

time to delid and put liquid metal on it and get that 0.1% fps boost you want.

user I think you have mistaken his cpu with 8700k

FX a good line it did nothing wrong.
