HWBot has a submission from NAMEGT overclocking his FX-8350 to 8.1765GHz!  Yep, quite the overclock. 

Gigabyte sends news that they are sponsoring an overlcocking competition on HWBot.   You must use any AMD APU on any Gigabyte Socket FM1 or A55 series motherboard.  You can find full details here.

The GIGABYTE ‘Xmas and New Year Contest’ is open to all Overclockers using any AMD APU on any GIGABYTE socket FM1 A75 or A55 series motherboard, using any cooling solution. The contest winner will take home a GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD5 motherboard, with second and third place taking a GA-990FXA-UD3. Good luck everyone!

Over on the Xtremesystems forums there is a thread where overclocker Andrew Yang has posted CPU-Z shots of AMD's 8150 Bulldozer hitting 8.584GHz. Yep, that beats out what AMD did at the Austin press briefing.

Legit Reviews has tested the AMD FX-8150 Black Edition CPU water cooler.

When AMD launched the Zambezi-FX processors this week based off 'Bulldozer' core architecture they realized that these 8-core 32nm processors might need enhanced cooling. To solve this situation, AMD decided that with the FX Series CPU’s they would have an option for a retail boxed processor that includes a self contained water cooler rather than the typical air cooler. This is the first time AMD has ventured into offering a water cooling kit for the public, which should be very interesting for our readers. AMD is only offering a water cooler option with the flagship FX-8150 processor and in test regions right now. This is going to be a trial run for AMD to see how the product sells and if enthusiasts will embrace the idea of water cooling. Water cooling is nothing new for us or our readers, so we have a feeling that it will go over well and are happy to see AMD noticing that enthusiasts would like to have improved cooling options from the start.

Tweaktown has overclocked memory on AMD's Bulldozer and gotten some impressive speeds. They have busted the 2600MHz mark, but actually memory bandwidth at that speed can still not match Intel's i7 2600K at 2133MHz. :(

The worst thing out of all of this, though, has to be the simple fact that we again see this bit of shining light come out of the platform. We're getting these little things out of the platform that create this wonderful mirage. There are beams of greatness in little areas when it comes to the new Bulldozer platform.
