I have been waiting seems like forever to post on this thread. My account is finally working. Any who.. I have the K9A2 Platinum w/ 1.4bios. I had the 9600BE running 2.7ghz on this board Stable. Not that this is anything to get excited about. But I have found on my 9850 that the cores 2 & 3 set to 2.9ghz, I can crank cores 0 & 1 to 3.3ghz. Weird thing.. if I thow more then 1.43v core.. My system crashes. I have a couple screen shot that I threw together a few weeks ago. http://3800z24.info/Phenom I use the Freezer 64 Pro to cool it. I need to go back and read pn this thread.. lot of post have been made since I created my acount.
