My feeling is that AMD sold the private consumer a bill of goods like politicians do. Many of us want to support the underdog. Well good until it just hurts. AMD released the Bulldozer/Zambezi FX and then a year later released the PileDriver/Vishera line of FX processors that is what they should have released that year earlier. So we took a years beating on the early FX and then on top of that AMD dried all the 'good' unlocked Thubans up from retail. Did it in less that a few months. Now if you thought you wanted new perfomance you had to get a HOT azz Bulldozer and push the Pee out of it to approach the gaming ability of the Intel of the time.
M$ software does not schedule the cores on the FX correctly. AMD has odd registers turned on and others off as evidenced by the SuperPI patch floating around for X87 software.
Then after you consider every bit of that the average consumer has no clue but what he reads and it took ages for the hype sites to begin to tell the story in full. IMO. If you have a six core cpu at 4.4Ghz it is not going to game even close to 10% better with 300Mhz added is my actual suspicion. The video benches don't show 300Mhz on a six core FX giving a full 10% increase in gaming video testing. But you can be sure that the HEAT factor will go up by over 10% for that extra 300Mhz. It will vary from system to system but the extra 300Mhz will not quite need an added 10% extra in Vcore. Likely on the order of 6 to 8%. But the heat will rise considerably for that other 300Mhz.
Now if you get away from gaming and utilize software that is core aware, then I find my FX-8350 does more work while video edtting at 4.8Ghz than it does at 4.3Ghz. On the order of about 16 to 18% more work done with my video editting in the same time frame .Since I have COOL, it is worth it to me to run 4.8Ghz for the hours per month that I do video editting. Well worth it in my mind. YMMV.
I will add that after having gone thru 3 FX processors an FX-8120, FX-6300 and now having only the FX-8350 and spent enough time with it, I run with Vcore offset; windows performance mode in a modified balanced mode and ALL the green on in my bios. This gives me 1600Mhz idle at <1.0Vcore and 4.5GHz at 1.4Vcore when I need it and it varies very very little on my CHV mobo. It took me some work at the keyboard getting CPU_LLC to work with Offset Vcore to give enough Vcore at idle and the immediate jump to enough Vcore for 4.5Ghz, but heck that is what they make an adjustable bios for.
So if one is running 4.4Ghz with 6 or 8 cores, they are likely right in the very sweet spot of performance for >85% of the users.

Bought this cooler at least 9 months ago...
.
...and have been discussing or cussing with some of the guys about installing it just to see what it would do. Cheaper than the big dog Noctua and rated just above the Noctua big dog at FrostyTech. So I bought it then bought an additonal super clamping force hold-down kit extra a few weeks later.
At the time of the original purchase I looked for and found an equivalent Xigmatek fan for the pull fan since I never intended to run push only but to run push-pull since I have an 8 core FX-8350 that I do video editting at 4.8Ghz with my jam-up water loop. I expected to need every bit of air-cooling that I could get to even get close to 4.8Ghz on air with a couple of hours of P95 Blend thrown in for stabiility testing. Good, no make that VERY good cooling is needed to run 4.8Ghz stable for extended periods of use. Well a d*mn good board as well and my CHV has been just dandy for my crazy usage.
This cooler is 6.5 inches from the board to its' top. I can mount the fans as close to the top of the fins as possible and can still get my G Skill Ares ram in under the fan out over the first memory slot. Neat-O. The reason I bought low-profile ram. Even more so since I have 4 sticks of memory in the mobo. Even if they are 1 8gig kit of DDR3-1600 overclocked to 1890ish and one 8gig kit of DDR3-1866 just over stock. 16gigs works better for my video editting and using software to reduce the size of Wn 7 intalls. One day I may buy a 16 gig kit of DDR3-1866 but for now I do not need it to get by since I tweaked the ram to run with the mis-matched kits.
Okay I took some pics of the cooler before installing and then I have a couple of pics of some OCCT P95 Blend mode runs while I was testing for stability. Stability good enough not to dork my videos while editting. I think I succeeded even if only just barely. If it were not for the CHV and ability to dial in just the Offset Vcore I needed, I would not have been as happy at all with the 4.8Ghz temps. I can live with them until I can re-examine the cpu to cooler contact patch appearance.
Just an add; don't fool oneself into thinking the fans can be slowed when pushing +1.5V thru the cpu for P95 Blend testing. Don't make me laugh. FX processors run HOT. Other than a check out of the cooler to top of the CPU, I have done a little tweaking the last 1.5 days and have it where it idles at 32c socket and 14c Core/Package at 1400Mhz and 0.980 Vcore and will jump to 4.8Ghz at 1.5Vcore and run fine as can be expected for that speed on air. Offset Vcore and Balanced mode in Win 7 are now my buddies.
I think that we can all easily see why VERY good water is best for fast running 6 and 8 core FX processors but it is good to know that for real I could drop to 4.6Ghz and run my video editting as long as I wished to do so.
It has been fun and challenging to have to RE-establish my voltages and even my CPU_NB speeds due to the greater heat of air cooling. The warmer temps of this air cooling vs my water loop caused me to have up my Vcore 0.02V for each of the speeds I ran OCCT P95 loop. It is not so easy either to run the 2600Mhz CPU_NB and HT speeds I was running with my water setup. I had to drop down to < 2400Mhz on CPU_NB and HT speed to get stable with air-cooling. Might be able to raise them again after much more testing and tweaking, but my gut says nope ain't gonna happen.
It as said was a fun exercise. Settled again for me the reason I went for the better CHV board out of the gate. Settled for sure that going with a jam-up water loop out of the box was my best choice as well. I mean I am not sure with this air if I could even bench at greater than 5.0Ghz as I have done with my water loop. I may try some plain bench runs just to see if over 5.0Ghz is benchable. Not sure. I hate the added Vcore. This is a rig I can use 24/7 at 4.6hz and not be concerned....but who knows how high it might go. Hehehe.
RGone...ster.
I tried to text the pics for clarity.
And now some stability testing since the job is not done until gettng stable is won.

U 2 guys are surprised temps that low and I am slightly out of joint they are that high.
I can stand the temps, but the truth is that I will likely just drop my speed to 4.6Ghz since it makes me more warm and fuzzy at that speed. I need to use the rig for some work and not really ready to pull the board just now and again. Hehehe.
I have a slightly modded 3705A block that I want to suss out, so throw it and another rad I have not tried in awhlle back into the mix and go there for a test and trial thingie. Not sure yet. We shall just have to see what pops into my head next.

Warning Will Robison, this is just some testing and speculation so far. It does seem to hold some value based on what we see as FX-8350 speeds by those we know well and trust and have a P-State read out given to us. If the data becomes greater, it might be a tool to have shown before trying to overclock an FX-8350 to use as a pointer to 'needed' Vcore and how fast the FX thing might fly on relatively normal cooling. Who knows? It is testing after-all.
Okay here goes. Everyone wanted a rank and I have done the best I can from some known data and from the P-States read-out posted. While I would not consider this to be a "scientific" exercise in the real sense of that word, it does seem to lend some information as to why some of us seem to run pretty good water cooled cpu speeds.
See my description for rank #4 below. I noted some oddities.

It does seem to be a pattern for sure. Is it 100%? I doubt anything like this to be 100%, but if I were buying used, I certainly would use such information as a prognosticator over having no clue.

Too bad we cannot find the Vid/P-States before we purchase. Speaking of them, Johan where's the P-States on the 9370?

Well this was an exercise in guesstimation anyway. We were all looking for an "edge" as it were. Frankly I do see a pattern. One I would certainly use if buying used and seller gave the P-State for the FX-8350 cpu.
Would my purchase be guaranteed? No but if I could buy an FX-8350 with a substantially better P-State read-out, then I would feel pretty confident that my purchase of a used FX-8350 would equal and more than likely better my current cpu. And this maybe as far as the exercise can function as a "predictor".
