Dave, Kelly, very nice indeed!
I'm seriously thinking about moving back to Intel after many years of AMD. The bulldozers are a bit of a disappointment. Not shure about the Visheras, but I'm positive that any decent i5 would do much better than my 8120.
Cheers,

I told you this in another Thread the Vishrera is 20% better then the 8120 or 8150
the 8350 is comparable to the 3570k but it does compare really well with a 3770 k in multi threading and decompression so when i was suggesting about keeping your video card vs getting a new one I suggested you already have the socket just update the bios get the chip and you will see a big difference
I'm using my CinBench to show you the difference 8120 Oc'ed to 4.7 would barley get 7.90 same speed 8350 8.11 about a 20% gain
This chip is what Bulldozer was orginally supposed to be I assume
Nice overclock, Kelly and good temps. It's those Malaysian CPU's that get the good Vcore, it seems.
I went with the Intel cooler, even though most reviewers said it was just decent, and it's been a champ for me. I would like to try a Noctua fan on it and see if it performs any better.
It's a Delta fan, so it's not junk, but I think the Noctua F12 would be better for it. I have very little fan noise as it is in the rear of the case, on the other side of the Rad.........I don't hear it at all.
