Hi, which motherboard should I get if want to unlock a Semprin 140? Any cheapest. I know it is more towards luck to unlock. Does the Asus M88 USB3 works? It's website spec has a big unlock logo. Many thanks.

QUOTE(colabear98 @ Dec 16 2010, 11:15 PM) Yep.. u can try that. I have M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 unlocked Phenom 2 X2 555BE to X 4 B55 which bought from Vtecrock.  QUOTE(cloudwan @ Dec 16 2010, 11:31 PM) Bro mitodna, long time no see, where u been? Many thanks. BTW where got semprin processor bro   As for the mobo any mobo with unlock function can be used, the asus can, gigabyte almost all can, even MSI also can U want cheapest even Asus M4N68T-M for RM190 has this core unlocker thingy http://my.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=NnpFf...iCVO&templete=2 @cloudwan , i still here la, just not into overclocking since the demise of Duron. Sorry for the typo. ASUS M4N68T-M V2 | N7025 | D3-RSVGL 190 ^ if this one has 6 SATA port, this will be the best. ASUS M4A88T-M/USB3 | A880G | D3-REVSGL 340 ^ actually leading towards this model The price different is like RM150, hmm, hmm. LowYat don't have much AM3 board to offer  Any other recommendation? Considering my budget can span over below RM350. Many thanks in advance. |

QUOTE(cloudwan @ Dec 17 2010, 01:12 PM) U want with builtin GPU or no GPU??? I'm not taking any oc'ing performance here but here's a list of cpu unlockable mobo, everything should be below RM350: Thank you, I think I go with the GPU one. So Asus M4A88T-M/USB3 is the better deal right? Hmm, hmm. If no GPU got a few: Asus M4A87TD/USB3 Asus M4A77TDPro Asus M4N75TD (Got SLI) Gigabyte MA870A-UD3 Gigabyte MA770T-UD3 Gigabyte MA770T-ES3 Gigabyte MA770T-US3 MSI 770-G45 MSI 870-G45 MSI 870A-G54 (USB3) If with GPU also got a few: Asus M4A88T-M/USB3 Gigabyte 880GM-UD2H |

QUOTE(cloudwan @ Dec 17 2010, 08:47 PM) Well it depends, both have their similarities & their pro & cons thanks for the difference, i think I can live without Firewire, eSATA. Will choose Asus, now hunting where to get it cheaper.Similar points 1. Both are mATX mobo 2. Both using a mix of 880G+SB710 3. Both have 4 ram slots 4. Both have 4+1 phase Asus pro: 1. It has 6 SATA ports 2. It's TurboV software is much better to me than Gigabyte Easytuner 3. It has USB3 4. Tho come with 4+1 phase it supports up to 140W cpu's like PII X4 965 Asus con: 1. No Firewire 2. No eSATA Gigabyte pro: 1. It has Firewire 2. It has eSATA 3. It has floppy connector Gigabyte con: 1. Does not support up to 140W cpu 2. No USB3 3. Only 5 SATA ports Added on December 17, 2010, 8:48 pm fatalynx05 using ninja 3 |

Hi all, I am back with AMD machine
CPU: Athlon II X3 440 (Unlocked to Phenom II X4 B40  )Motherboard: Asus M4A88T-M/USB3 RAM: Mushkin Essential 4GB It seems to be stable for 5 minutes with Prime95, on blend test, and 15 minutes in-place FFT. Thanks for the recommendation, especially to @cloudwan Hmm, what to do now? beside running torture test? Thank you. Edit: Decided to go with X3 440 because it just RM218, Sempron 140 was RM98?. 4 core at RM218 is a steal for me. This post has been edited by mitodna: Dec 21 2010, 02:03 AM |

Sorry to hear that. Did you install those Belkin surge protector?
Yeah, Sempron 140 for a dual core also worth it. But I think better spend another 100MYR or so. Just in case  .What the usual stability test , Prime 95, OCCT? any others. Thanks. |

hmm, I think I am going to stick with B40 stock, I tried "Test-Mode" overclocking mode, it increased everything to 215MHz, RAM at 700MHz, can play around windows stable > 1 hour, but I did Prime 95, upon it minimize to systray, I am unable to bring it back up
/offtopic: what can GPU that Seasonic S12II 520W support? Can support Radeon 6850 (AMD web said 500W ) or GTX570 (Nvidia said minimum 550W )?Hmm, hmm, what should I increase performance (I mean decrease ) gradually for RAM timing? Below is the Mushkin Essential 4gb.[attachmentid=1952767] This post has been edited by mitodna: Dec 22 2010, 02:39 PM |

Hi, my latest trial on X3 440, it is using unlocked 140W , awful high
222.1MHz*14.5 = 3219.8MHz @ 1.424V , also translate to 140W Mushkin 4gb 1 stick, essential memory. [attachmentid=1969320][attachmentid=1969321][attachmentid=1969323] |

@cloudwan , no idea man, I think it is Auto voltage by Asus. Want to unclock this. 140W is scary. Super PI 1M just below 30s.

@cloudwan @kuntawakaw @usop8290
the board I am using is Asus M4A88T-M/USB3 , I just notice I can't under voltage via BIOS. This is strange. I think the bottleneck is my RAM (Mushkin 4GB essential), I am sharing it with the built-in GPU. Spec: X3 440, Asus M4A88T-M/USB3, Mushkin Essential 4GB, Seasonic SII 520W. No GPU.

@cloudwan , latest status, it seems that anything after 13*250 = 3250MHz will BSOD, still can POST, but can not even tahan 10 minutes on Prime95
Now I am on 13*250, while posting this. On your hint: 1. Hmm, I saw that option, I leave it default 2. How can I see the mode? For the voltage, I can only press +, press - will lead to auto. Hmmm |
