You said in the other thread that the Wraith kept the 5.1GHz overclock at 55C under CPU stress test. I'd say that's a lot more than just adequate cooling.
It is overvolting slightly with the LLC set to extreme. I never said that the wraith is providing "adequate" cooling for this overclocked chip. It is the best of the oem coolers that I've seen, and is currently cooling the "e" chip in my benching station, which I use to do preliminary testing on my chips. Now that I've tested the 8370e and two 8370's, the 8370e will be moved to my main rig to be cooled by my Phanteks PH-TC12DX 120mm. The best 8370 will be moved to the benching station and be cooled by the wraith, to be used as my backup computer.
Screenshots and picture of my benching rig posted here: http://www.overclockers.com/forums/s...-wraith-cooler
It hit 55c under CPU stress test, which is where I stopped it also. I never planned to leave it with the wraith forever. It's just a simple benching station to try different things out and cherry pick my parts. Now I know it is my best of 3 chips and will go to the main rig with the Phanteks cooler and see if it can be pushed more.You said in the other thread that the Wraith kept the 5.1GHz overclock at 55C under CPU stress test.

Geezus Christ people!!! .......I simply use the test rig to pick the best chip for my main rig. Now that I have found it, it will be moved to the main rig, where it will run every damn stability test known to man and I will try to maximize my scores. This is exactly why I didn't want to post pictures and screenshots......it just leads to more comments and crap that I don't have time for.The only problem is that your CPU isn't actually working at 5.1GHz
Based on the score in NQueen, it is operating at 4.65 - 4.7GHz.
Besides, even if you could do 5.1GHz on Wraith cooler it doesn't mean anything if it can run NQueen without crashing. The test lasts less than two seconds and it isn't especially stressfull. I can probably run it through at 5.5GHz on AIO < 1.45V on this chip.
Sir, do not call me a liar!

Yes it is.The whole point was that the CPU wasn't operating at 5.1GHz like you said it was
Yes it is.
Then why does your score match a score of the same CPU running at ~ 4.7GHz? :sneaky:

That worked for me. Your score seems a little low. (Overclockers Club has a 5GHz FX8370e / 5.1GHz 8370 in these charts)

I think you might be throttling. Still, that's a good showing for a factory cooler, that's a fair amount of heat to deal with. With a cooler upgrade that thing might be perfectly stable at that clock... so not bad at all!
Probably because the vrms on the mobo are throttling it back. "READ MY LIPS" it is on a temporary station! It will now move to the main rig, it will be on a different motherboard, have a phanteks 120 cpu cooler, and have extra cooling on the vrms.
:thumbsup:
Should be a good rig, 5.1GHz on air isn't bad at all. Wish I could get one like that under my CPU block.
The Stilt, looks like you have a 5.3GHz entry to make! My FX is older than 2016, is your CPU a recent purchase? Gotta wonder if they're overclocking even better these days..?
The very first 8370Es there is (29 / 2014).
Wow, wonder what the ceiling is today on an average FX8370/8370e?

Impressed by the results posted in this thread which included a 5.1 Ghz FX8370E @ 1.425v and a 5.0 Ghz FX8370 @ 1.475v (both using AMD's Wraith Cooler) I thought making this thread would be a good idea.
So please post your results including processor (and when you bought it), date of manufacture (if known), clockspeed and voltage, cooler, motherboard and temperature during stress testing.
Alright naysayers, I have screenshots but for the life of me I can't figure out how to post them here, so I posted them at over at overclockers.com. http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php/770632-8370e-with-wraith-cooler
Read the entire thread. I already proved it. It just doesn't score as high as my regular 8370The issue is power throttling. To leave (almost ) no doubt post benchmarks and/or verify that the CPU isn't downclocking cores constantly to keep the power draw in check.
