Not much difference between them ah bro, unless ur buying SSD it's a different story ah..

Added on September 9, 2009, 3:07 pmU may get higher chance of unlocking but it can never be a 100% surefire guarantee.. Some lemons still exist in those batches too
It's all depends on ur plain luck ah..

Ha Ha Ha! not a chance!

Might migrate to DDR3 slowly! see how first!

BTW 940 CACVC AC 0852GPFW managed to OC until 3.7Ghz! that was so so OC!

Later will try more!

Different is in virtual memory ....example runing heavy program like PS or AI

stucked here... after unlocking..

Hmmm looks like unstable 4th core there..

tat sux....... waste of $$ upgrade to SB710

Does your chip is 'unlockable' proven???

bought it new.. not proven.. so.. probably unlockable..... But will it be like that if 4th core really defective? Just wanna make sure it's not the mobo problem......

Because by looking at it, it seems the 'stuck' is usually associated with:

-Motherboard and CPU is having a 'communication error' thus making them both keep 'talking' to each other while forgetting to boot...
-USB related problem, try and cabut every USB connection possible and boot...
-Try minimizing boot, for example boot only with CPU,Mobo, 1 stick ram, 1 HDD and thats about it...
-Reset CMOS and then set date and ACC ONLY!!! reboot, if still blink2 like previously, try disable Legacy USB and set booting device to Boot HDD only (probably already been done )
-Use the template in my sig and post your configuration...

antonio has spoken... ok will try the steps.. thanks

OK tried all.. non work =(

Erkk...but there is an X4 during POST right???

hmmmmm....

What bios are u using....Any known bios for unlock?

Set the ACC to -2% for All Cores

Drop NB an HT to 1800mhz

Manually bump CPU vcore at 1.4v and CPU/NB at 1.1v

try and have a look

i'm happy again...

pass all stability test.. n real application..
still have a lot of room.. so weird.. i think need to do it slowly rather than push to the max

almost there.. now DDR2-980.. need more 5mhz on HTT before can reach DDR2-1000.. and reach my expectation ...

I think i've tried most of those.. not work... so it post x4 but stuck after tat.. is it motherboard issues?? I've updated newest bios.. should i try the old bios??

Technically speaking, if you reboot from Bios and there is no boot or the computer still is in X3 mode, then it should be your chip is locked...but now, the problem is your chip can be unlock 'X4' but cant move after POST....hmmmmmm...

#mana kitab jalan Syaitan tak terbatas aku nie....

so what could be the problem right now?

it's just plain safe if assume the forth core is unlock able but not stable..

How about try decreasing its clock,Ht Link,NB Speed and try bump these volts :

CPU Volts : 1.4V
CPU-NB 1.25V
NB Volt : 1.25.

ok.. it goes further this time.. boot windows 7.. starting windows.. then BSOD restart.... or hang....

so I have a really bad 4th core.... too bad~ thanks for all the input

It could be a BIOS issue...juz hang-on until Giga release a new bios...

or

to confirm you 4th unlock cores can really work, try bringing you proc to your nearest friends that has a motherboard for unlocking....

xixo...which timing u alter to make the copy and write speed that fast?

most important the copy....
