After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.

Benchmark - Overclocked
As with all of our reviews we pit the default speed system against the overclocked one in a head to head byte match. The results of this are below. The effective overclock for these tests is 4.1Ghz @ 215Mhz. We could have tried for more, but this is the limit of the two chips we tried.
Our memory did keep up rather well, for being ran at 215Mhz Host Clock setting. Still we had to lower the timing for it to be stable for testing purposes.

Overclocking Conclusion
The Flaming Blade stands up and shows that in the overclocking arena it is just as strong and stable as it's big brother the BloodRage. For the enthusiast that wants to squeeze some extra bang for their buck out of processor the Flaming Blade does very well.
The synthetic benchmarks show some real potential behind what you can get from overclocking and the gaming benchmarks reaffirm this by showing some seriously powerful jumps. Giving a boost like this in that area then added a powerful GPU into the mix, and the ultimate gaming machine is born.
