Phenom stepping/batch overclocking database

Jack those temperatures look high for the 9850. Are they at load?

I have my 9850 @ stock now (2.5) and it's showing 43°c at load.

Yeah, they are at load... also I would not trust the temps.... I have no idea how OCCT is calibrating their numbers. EDIT: also, when I look at the actual numbers it is around 48-49 deg C, and 5 degrees could easily be explained by HSF used or ambient (especially ambient), I had 7 rigs fired up (5 quads, 2 singles) all at the same time -- the room was toasty

Also, this was taken within literally 4-5 hours of installation and the TIM likely has not had a chance to settle.

The power is higher but not unmanageable, and it is inflated by an nVidia power sucking GPU. The proc itself runs like a charm, and I can get 3.0 GHz easy peasy at stock.
