What we were doing with that FX 8350 was on even terms. Two experienced OCers (I OC even a toaster), Same MB with same BIOS version, all same HW including cooling (CM 612Evo) And all of that done during few days. First example (it was few years ago so don't take everything literary and exact), couldn't even run at 1.52v while the last one run at 5GHz (stable) with less than 1.5v. Later on would validate at 5.2GHz but with CM 240 AiO liquid and no other stability at all.
It was all done with some of first Vishera processors because nobody believed it could hit stable 5GHz on air. P.S. there were no 220W MBs back then yet, we had to settle for 140W Ga 990fx- UD7.
