Only tried different multis with the 9850e. The limit on the board is the single 4pin 12V connector.
At 2.8/2.2GHz 1.325/1.3V (cpu/nb) it pulled ~12A.
At 3.0/2.4GHz 1.525/1.5V it pulled ~19A, that exceeded the 18A limit of my PSU and the system powered of.

2.8/2.2GHz seems to be stable at above voltages. Have not tested it that much on the M3A but it worked fine with slightly lower voltages in the Sapphire 790FX mobo.
