I have buy 9850 Phenom B3

[BobCat13]

If a board supports the 125 watt x2 6000 and 6400 wouldn't it be able to power a 125 watt quad core?

It is not a power problem, but a problem of getting the BIOS to recognize the processor. Gigabyte's website doesn't list the 9850 as being supported with the F4 bios.

Gigabyte write DS4 and DS5 support 9850.

BUT IS NOT TRUE

My 9850 work now (overclock solid) at 203x15, with 4 WU at time.
But not possible modify Vcore, NB and HT.
If I change from bios, bios accept parameter, but when I start windows, CPU-Z and AOD and all software, reports value default. Bios accept and not apply. I have F4 bios, last bios.
If I change value from AOD, 99% crash pc and next is possible boot only next reset cmos of bios... strange.
I have mount WB for good overclock, but only with Vcore default not possible > 3,3GHz, I have try. With bios F3, was best. I waiting new bios.
The 9850 3,050GHz with bench is little best speed vs 5000+@3,233, 3101 FP and 6722 integer vs 3188 FP and 5918 integer of 5000+, but in reality is differents. With 5000+ 3h for WU max, and for 9850 2h,30' max for now...
