im using msi785GM-P45. i think can unlock. enabling ACC from bios utility?

yes, enable at bios then c if u can load windows
sorry not familiar with msi product
for biostar, the function is under 'cpu config'

theoritically yes, but why dont try 1st instead of asking.

Seems like bios update fix all the issue. Pass 11 hour of blend test. Good enough to pass a stock setting test because before this 4 core at stock setting would fail JUST after I click run stress test and fail after 1 hour and 4-5 minutes at 3 core. LOL



And now mine are officially stable unlocked Ph II x4 B60. Can't wait for overclocking

Hi Hitawari...

your mobo able to support the proc but u may not want to or perform OC'ng.

am using BioStar TA785GE 128M (rated 125W also) previously and it 'die' on me when try OC'ng the unlock B55 (TDP 160W) .. lucky mobo got warranty

managed to unlock my 560 to b60 on asus m4a88t-v evo, max tdp 143w..run occt stress test for 1 hour only, but everything seems stable enough for now..using stock cooler for now, do u guys think i should go for another cooler?

how is the temperature?

around 43-47 idle..goes up to 60 on full usage..

guys.. i just change my mobo to msi 990fxa-gd65.. i tried to unlock the core using core unlocker in the bios. after reboot, it went into windows without a prob. and i can see all the 4 cores running. after 2-3 minutes, it crashes and restart. is there anything that i missed out in bios? should disable cool and quiet or other settings? can i try to increase the core voltage? bad core?

my old spec as in siggy, new spec as below:
phenom 2 555
noctua nh-d14
team elite 1300 ddr3
gigabyte odin pro 550watt
640gb hdd
gigabyte 6850

btw, i havent format my hdd after changing mobo. anything to do with it?? even hvt format, i can play games normally with just 2 cores running..

thanks if anyone can assist me..

It is better to format your hdd to avoid any conflict..

ya.. will definitely going to format the hdd soon. but use curious why it crash after few mins. in to windows.. oh btw, i'm using noctua nh-d14 cooler..

Is it stable before you change your mobo??

disable cool n quiet

may i know how do i know if its a bad core? totally cant log into windows? any possibility the core is unstable..

test with other mobo to really know. otherwise, try all possible way to determine

after using OC genie II to unlock and OC my proc, i cant seem to see the core temperatures using CPUID hw monitor, coretemps and so on.. why is it like tat?

i manage to find the cpu temperature in the bios and it stated there 50+- celcius and i'm actually using noctua nh-d14. is the temp. acceptable for using such cooler??

Is it idle temp or load temp??

hw monitor refer TMPIN1. if gigabyte mobo can refer to ET.
mine xigmatek hdt 1283 for phenom 20 idle at 44. full load ~65. vcore 1.44 3.5ghz

turning on the pc and straight goes into bios, it stated 40+- celcius. i suppose that would be idle temp. after some gaming, it goes to 50+-celcius. dont dare to stress test yet as i cant see the temps..

i'm using msi mobo.. there isnt any TMPIN1.. only TMPIN0 and TMPIN2. i'm thinking is the cpu temp refers to TMPIN0 as it is almost the same as the bios..

but for idle temp at 40+-celcius on this massive cooler is kinda weird. maybe i have to re-seat the cooler or reapply my thermal paste.. cos i only put a small dot amount of thermal paste (without spreading it all over the proc) and put the cooler on.. is this the correct way??? blurred.

wait don open cooler, try get the accurate temp reading first. try look at sensor in everest ultimate. if really temp not acceptable so reseat cooler with better thermal grease(important). normally unlocked 4core from 2core max tdp will go higher than normal 125w. so it might reason why more heat generated than usual quad phenom
