Oh yea one more thing in Nvida n tune it showed my memory bus at he same as what the Phenoms clock speed was 2.50GHZ and the same when I overclocked it to 2.8,3.0 memory bus show those number also. Could that have something to do with this problem,??
Ill stop my so called swaying to the dark side...
BTW its earth, so calm down a bit and heres something for you to look at

This guy seems to be getting issues with the latest Asus 790 chipset too
It needs a HT bus of 2600 !
now it seems there are issues with another Asus bios with the 9850...
I have looked up your motherboard on Asus website and look for processor compatibility...

type in your board number...
The maximum supported chip is the 9600 with the latest bios....
So it seems your chip is being throttled....
Up and till now the 9850BE is not supported on it. Not my fault, not yours, but AMD and Asus...
It sounds like a limitation of the 590 chipset, i hope not, but if it is, it is...
Hopefully they will fix the M3N-HT Deluxe
Unfortunatly it looks like to get the best out of it its gonna have to be a 790fx chipset to make it work at full potential....
I looked around for Gigabyte boards and have found no issues...
Why dont AMD just face facts, bring out a new socket and be done with it..... and stop all this messing around...
