AND FINALLY WITH AN OC on the 9850!
it equals a yorkie 9650 also @ 3.2ghz!
i must say it holds its own @ 2.5ghz and hauls ass @ 3.2ghz

lostcircuits said:The initial samples we had of the Phenom, that is, the (never released) 9900 and the 9600 Black Edition had some halfway decent headroom but, at least the specimens that found their way into our lab were somewhat unwilling to break the 3 GHz barrier. There is no need to stress any of this, samples are samples and every CPU, especially when it comes to early samples, behaves somewhat differently. The X4 9850 clocked... and clocked .. and clocked.. not always stable but we managed to POST at 3.4GHz using the stock cooler and increasing the core voltage to 1.4V. At 3.3GHz we got into Windows, albeit there was not enough stability to get through all stress tests.
At 3.2 GHz, the X4 9850 was genuinely stable, finishing any stress test we threw at it, from rendering to 3DMark'06 and that is what we want to show as the final figure in this article. No... no need to worry, we won't bother with another CPU-Z screenshot, instead we have the CPU score of 3DMark'06 achieved with the standard air cooler and running at 1.4V core voltage at 3.2 GHz.
