AMD “Scorpius” Platform Technology – Performance Tuning Targets

The following table lists some possible results for an unlocked AMD FX-8150 CPU as well as t he optimal

voltage values for most AMD “Scorpius” platform technology systems.

Note that these results are strictly estimates based on overclocking data from a limited sample size. The actual

results will vary depending on the CPU, motherboard, cooling solution and memory modules used in the tests.

The “air cooling” column and the suggested Voltage and Frequency values are based on t he assumption that a

high-end heatsink and fan is used.

The “extreme” column lists the suggested Voltage settings and expected target Frequency values f or Liquid

Nitrogen (LN2) cooling solution (-196C).
