Request assistance elsewhere, ensuring you receive comparable responses. Consider returning your CPU if it’s new (likely outdated for an FX-8150 from five years prior), stating it’s "not fit for purpose" and defective. Alternatively, purchasing another CPU might allow you to achieve higher overclocking. This could also be an opportunity to upgrade to Skylake and DDR4.
The article isn’t meant to solve your specific issue—it aims to highlight how different CPUs handle overclocking. Your system’s age matters; if you truly wish to remain on the AM3+ platform, an 8350 could be a viable alternative, possibly offering better overclocking potential.
