well its more helpful than not knowing which voltage is at issue.

Your motherboard have LED debug so it should be show a error code for voltage issue?

PS. I think I know what is wrong with my overclock. Old BIOS F7 version on my motherboard is unstable for overclock and CPU support issue. I updated to F11, it is stable CPU support and overclock now.

4.5 should not be hard on that processor.

Yeah that's I think too, especially with his cooling. I think his board is the limitation though, I don't think it's stable at a 4.5GHz OC. My board isn't stable with my 2500K @ 4.5.

yeah, I think it's an issue, try running it twice again for stability. And see what happens.
I'm not gonna put you behind the intel quaaaad :P

The X4 955 should be faster than a Q8300.

Running the benchmark clocked to 4.4 right now. No idea if it'll work.
Two things bug me though: The fluctuations in CPU-Z when it comes to core speed are still there, and they still go both above and below the actual set clock. Not sure if it affects stability or not, but it's very bothersome.
And someone else with an 8120 only clocked a little higher got sooo much higher score than I did. :p Must beat it!

Eum... I think it's not the clockspeed now. You'll not get much higher, you are limited for some reason. Maybe your mobo, maybe something else.

I don't know though. If I were to believe CPU-Z, my CPU is not running at full speed at any point during the benchmark. I'm not saying I'll ever beat anything, but I personally (and possibly wrongly, but we will see :P) think I can get a few more points from it.
I did manage to get stable at 4.5, but only managed 8045 points anyway. I will work on it during the week and see if I can fix it.
 
Current scores:

that i5 is coming close, great for a 4threaded cpu!

Can you bump me up a bit please? :D

4.2GHz, RAM at 1866. :) Stability achieved! Updating BIOS worked amazing wonders, thanks for the tip!
 
the numbers do not scale with processor performance, id expect there to be a bigger gap between intel/amd, but thats me. looking at passmark scores there is a sizeable gap, however with this, theres hardly any gap at all.
 
not only that, but there is at least one instance of the same processor (2600k) at the same clocks (4.3) scoring 140ish different with only 8GB difference in RAM, which should not matter as it is only using about 1GB extra and not filling up 8GB as is.

Dont see how that is. There is only three AMD to judge from. This thing runs alot of threads and the AMDs have either 6 or 8 cores vs. the Intels HT. Looks pretty normal. I guess unless people just want the AMDs to be at the bottom for psychological reasons.
