uninstall the current AOD u using...
and install this http://download.amd.com/Desktop/aod_321_setup_english.exe
not the latest version of aod.. but this allow me to adjust the multi.. but, changing multi in AOD is not permanent,it will revert back once u reboot/shut down. so better u set in bios..

i tried to set on bios...but when i login back to the window....the multiplier reverse back to x14
the link u give me cannot download@@...><

just tried my link and its working..

the multi reverse back to 14? more info/details on this pls
man.. i have the same mobo and no issue in oc at all.. hmm.. how about update the bios..

but up to bios F7 only iinm.. newer than might that have problem in unlocking and ahci mode.

swt my downloader crash=.="
i tot the link broken....nw reinstall and jz finish dl the aod...nw testing stability...^^

Howdy all... i'm a newbie on Core Unlock and OC'ng so pls bare and share with me ya

Here's my current CPU info...

Mobo: BioStar TA785GE 128M
Processor: AMD Phenom II X2 555 BE
Unlocked Cores: 4 (Phenom II X4 B55)
Ram Type : 4Gb (2x2Gb) OCZ Reaper PC-8500 (1066Mhz)
OS : Windows XP (32bit)


Below tested with Prime95 for 5 hours...


My CPU-Z info....


Need some here before i start to OC ...
1) How may i know the highest temp will be from the test; ...@ Temp1 on SpeedFan or THRM on Hardware Monitor Pro?
2) It have pass both PCMark05 and 3DMark06 but the system hang during 3DMark05... why?

My previous system ... X2 5000 --unlock--> pass all the above test....

Thanx

why are you using HWM Pro? just use the normal version and you can see the max, min and current temp.

as for the whateverMark - they work differently so one pass doesn't mean all pass.

you could just use wprime or everest for stability test. failing those test doesn't mean the computer will be problematic too.

Hi..thanx for the reply..i just follow a link provided by someone and download the apps

FYI.. last 9 i try to bump the CPU voltage 1 step from "Auto" and now is @ 1.47V... 3DMark05 pass thorugh... run prime95 from 1am till 7am this morning and notice the max temp is 49C...oh am using CM 212+ with TX4 as cooling.

Is 1.47V for 555 BE procesor too high or just right for OC?

go based on the temperature. vcore is really depending on your processor.

wow, full load 49°c on 1.47v.
inside air cond room?

which temp is 49?

not sure about ur motherboard.but i think biostar ta790gx 128m tends to show lower temperature than it shud be.so better watch out on this
and by looking at the vrm.. u better dont go beyond 1.45v x4 and prime for long time.. it might kill ur mobo.. biostar is quite fragile.

Hi all.. thanx for your reply.

saturn85 .... not in air-cond room...normal room temperature.. i think is because of the Hyper 212+ with TX4 and my casing ventilation

kuntawakaw ... 49C is shown on both THRM and TMPIN0 at CPUID Hardware Monitor.

Guys...

I think i've a problem now ... yesterday i try to OC with adjusting the Multiplier with AMD Overdrive apps. The CPU Vcore bump to 1.5V with max 52C on 100% load and passed Prime95 test running for 7.5 hours.

My Rig now running on 3500Mhz (200 x 17.5)...pls advise onhow to decrease the voltage value and get it stabilize? .... i'm targeting at 3800Mhz only.

plz add me to the successful list too...

cpu: amd phenom II x2 560 --> amd phenom II x4 B60
mobo: gigabyte 880GM-UD2H



all cores working fine except for cpu temperature on core temp & hwmonitor software...anyone knows why the temperature goes to 0 celcius after unlocking the additional cores and how to fix this?

one more thing, my TDP is 143W..is it normal?

nice. you can adjust vcore inside bios.
then run stress test, if stable, decrease voltage by a notch.
repeat and until the lowest stable voltage.
usually there is no reading for core#0-3 after unlock.
that max TDP value should be an estimation only.

After trying few days... I guess 1.47 is my stabil voltage as i try to lower it to 1.45, 3DMark05 hangs... so i presume if it can't pass 3DMark05, my games will face the same problem too...

anyone got successful unlock by using mobo GA-MA74GMT-S2?

i believe its possible.
my unlock was unsuccessful but that was the processor problem. the processor itself not capable to unlock even i tried on any other motherboard.
will update u if i have time to test

i personally think that mobo not good enough to handle unlocked core altought have acc. i read some review about this mobo and no positive respon yet. or need to confirm my x3 not unlockable

Hi guys,i tried undervolt my phenom in bios,tapi bila cek cpuz mesti 1.4V..
