AMD Phenom X4 9850 egy kis erdekesseg mennyt lehet kihozni belolle.
"Since the Phenom 9850 has its CPU/FSB multiplier unlocked, we knew right away that the best way we could try 'pushing' the cpu would be via the multiplier in the bios. We had heard that not very many were able to overclock the Phenom 9850 to 3.0GHz or beyond, but we were determined to see what we could do. We then started overclocking it using the multiplier until we hit x15.5 setting which gave us a 3.10GHz clock speed. The system would post fine, boot-up into Vista just fine, and we could run CPU-Z, and even take screenshots of the system at this speed but we were unable to complete any of the Sisoft Sandra XII SP1 benchmarks, Cinebench R10 benchmarks and 3DMark 06 benchmarks without the system locking up causing us to reboot the computer. My instincts told me that we might have been able to get it to 3.10GHz stable and beyond if we could have just applied a little more voltage and cooling to the cpu, but we found that the MSI K9A2 Platinum did not allow us to increase the voltage to the cpu as these settings are grayed-out, and we were stopped at this point. We then backed the clock speed down to 3.0GHz and quite easily, again without any voltage increase and only the multiplier set to x15, found that the Phenom 9850 performed all of the tests without even getting close to overheating with just an air cooled heatsink/fan combination."
