Apparently, the documented base frequency is not relevant when the CPU
is under load and not overheated.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_FX_microprocessors gives 3.1 GHz
base, 3.4 GHz full load turbo, and 4.0 GHz half load turbo for this CPU.
In the BIOS overclocking settings, I can only specify two values for the
multiplier: base and turbo. I've just tried setting base to 4.0 GHz and
disabling turbo (so should be 4.0 GHz as well) - got an unreliable
system (kernel panic shortly after starting to use XOP from all 8
threads). Then I tried 3.8 GHz base and 4.2 GHz turbo - and this seems
to work. I am getting almost exactly a 5% speedup for single-threaded
benchmarks and around a 10% speedup for OpenMP benchmarks (although it
varies between the different JtR formats). Thus, it appears that
without overclocking I had 3.4 and 4.0, and now I have 3.8 and 4.2 GHz.

BTW, FX-8150 is documented to use 3.6 base / 3.9 full load turbo / 4.2
half load turbo, so maybe I should try 3.9 / 4.2.
