nice job 3d only way for me to beat that is DICE :D but i don't feel like setting up my board so i can use it.

Thanks man :toast: Just give a go man, get extreme. I bet that 4850 will hit 4GHZ.
I dont think has ever been done on TPU, an X2 @ 4GHZ.

BTW This cpu clocked higher than my 9950 by like 50mhz:laugh:

Yeah, I just found out about v803 today too from H82LUZ73 http://forums.techpowerup.com/showpost.php?p=1324537&postcount=32 apparently work alright with the 9950.

I'm still on v403...should I flash to v803?? Maybe I'll try it this weekend and try to get 3.2 stable with my 9850.

Yeah you, how many others i call bro in here?

Yeah CP, he calls me dude. :laugh:

So do you think I should move up in the bios version or not? Dave, I know that you said you tried others and v403 was the best with the 9850, but I'm just wondering if I should go v803 and test again. Maybe I'll get better results.

Has anybody else tried v803 it with the 9850 or the 9950?

what are your settings? how much vcore?

232mhz x 14multi

ht link is at 2000mhz

v core is stock at 1.35 i think.

ram is at 460mhz

I'm sorry I dont have the internet. But I can take a bunch of screen shots and throw them on a flash too if needed.

Well i was able to flash back to the 0703 bios...
this is how i did it, so this is for ppl like me that dont know how to flash in DOS using a memory stick
1st download this utility http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=197 and install it
2nd download this http://www.lowfps.com/downloads/bootable_usb.zip and select the DOS file and extract to wherever you want...
next your going to need the Engineering Edition of AFUDOS get it here http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/8/19/174415/AFUDOS229ES.zip this is the key to flashing back to an earlier bios ver.

Plug in your flash drive and run HP usb disk icon,


make sure you have boxes Quick format checked as well as Create DOS start up disk, now you need to add the DOS folder in the box below where it says Using DOS system files located at....
when its done you need to drag n drop the AFUDOS.EXE file and the bios rom you want to flash back to on the memory stick....
now your ready to flash.....
Next restart your rig and press F8 and select your memory stick.....
now thats done you need to type in the following
afudos /i0703.rom (or whatever bios rom # you want to flash) and press enter....
thats it... just let it do her thing and your now back in buisness :D

bro back then the latest BIOS was 0603 :laugh: im sure the new BIOSES are much better. Try it out and let me know.

232mhz x 14multi

ht link is at 2000mhz

v core is stock at 1.35 i think.

ram is at 460mhz

I'm sorry I dont have the internet. But I can take a bunch of screen shots and throw them on a flash too if needed.

why dont you try to use the multi to overclock and see if you can go over 3.25ghz like that.

However for 3.3 GHz i needed 1.5v on the core, and about 1.45v for 3.25ghz. So adding voltage might fix your issue. try it out and let us know, watch your temps.
