no one willing to answer if u ask "how to oc"
so gather urself some knowledge 1st..and start ocing..after that u can always ask advance questions...

haha..but 710 price is higher..need to take care of my wallet..
let say if both canot unlock, i can still adjust the multiplier to my liking for 550 or in another word, better overclockability.
in fact, i got lucky with 4healthy cores..now waiting for my semester to finish and i'm gonna throw away my stock cooler and replace with a better one since i'm running 24/7 at 3.1GHz now

Added on March 20, 2010, 6:06 pmtotally agreed. mess around with your setup 1st and read around tips and tricks..
it doesn't have to be chip specific as long as they are from the same family.

how about throwing away ur 550BE also..kekeke..get a thuban instead..or at least c3..kekeke..
lots of ppl already ditching their B50..kekekek

lol...wait till gaygaybite comes out with 8series board with unlockabilty, then i might consider..
keep changing hardware sakit o..
When Thuban is out and 6cores is possible with unlocking..maybe i canot tahan d....resistance is futile

RAM is 2GB DDR3 1333 9-9-9-27?

ya....
just now i tried to oc... i oc it to 3.44Ghz..
but when i tried second time,i cannot boot my pc...
then i reset CMOS.. but my pc boot like 15 sec then auto shut down.. scared me....
Why ah ?

after clear cmos also will auto shut down?

the system must be ubstable after unlock ... need to tweek the voltage abit

after i reset cmos ,still wil auto shut down after like 30 sec...
but i manage to solve this...
i think is my processor too hot.. around 70 degree.. zzz... i let it cool down around 30minutes....
then i reset back to default setting then just ok ady..
damn scared my processor spoilt..

u should monitor ur temperature after u unlockand overclock ur processor...

70 celcius is idle temperature or what?

What a..sorry..

vCore kinda high @ stock.
Lower vCore not stable??

-pWs-

i set the voltage auto
i dunno if it stock o not

before unlock also 1.408v?

Need some advise here.

I want to upgrade my rig. Planning to get Gigabyte GA-MA785G-UD3H mobo because want to try my luck to unlock quad core.

Should i get Phenom II x2 550 or Phenom II x2 555?

Which proc has higher successful rate?

phenomII 555 la..c3 revision..
higher success rate?
depend on batch..but i think this early batch of 555 is worth trying..
but few cases with cores that not so healthy.. need extra vcore..

Sorry noob question here. May i know how to identify proc batch number and stepping by looking at the box?

batch not @ box but here
