Unofficial Athlon X2 4850e Overclocking thread

Mine cannot reach 12.5 multi :-( ...anyone knows why?)...on 12 multi defaults 2.4Ghz at 1.2V...haven't tried to see if i can get it with fewer Volts...though...with 1.375V i reached 3.19G...stock heatsink...

The weird thing is that i can see in BIOS about 40 degrees idle...but coretemp and everest read 12&14 C (in cpu diode field) but in Cpu temp i have 40...should that make me worry?

For now i will be at stock settings till my new WC setup arrives...

Gigabyte GA-MA790X-DS4 @ F4 Bios
Mushkins 2x2GB 8500
2xSeagates 7200.10 160G @ 75G Raid-0 & 122G Raid-1

CPU-Z shows my DRAM Frequency at 350Mhz and FSB:DRAM ratio at CPU/6 on my 4050e(2100Mhz). Isn't my DRAM freq supposed to be 400Mhz?

it's because of the odd multiplier.

Found out about multi...:p:..option in bios must be set @ auto to have the 12.5 multi....

About the temps...i guess everest & all thhe other progs show as "Cpu Diode" value the deviation from ambient temp...so 16C are actually 43C for 27C ambient temperature..that has been confirmed by bios value for Cpu Temp, for several working conditions...
