Athlon 7850 BE

[virajk]

I want to overclock my Athlon x2 7850BE to 3.2 Ghz with the stock cooler.I already have done some changes in the BIOS and set the clock multiplier to x15 that pushes it to 3.2Ghz.Is there anything more I have to do.Core Temp gives me an idle temp of 39C and roughly 47C while playing NFS Carbon.

I am using the Asus M3NEM-78 motherboard.

You should stress test your CPU with a program like OCCT, Prime95 instead of using a game to test the stability. Watch your temps while using Prime95, I think OCCT has temperature readings built in.
