Motherboard makers confirm Phenom II X3 unlock  Can be enabled in BIOS? DFI's 790FX can do it as wellAccording to the news post over at VR-Zone, motherboard makers have also confirmed the Phenom II X3 unlock, and apparently some others like Gigabyte are saying the same story. Guys from VR-Zone apparently managed to get a screenshot from DFI that shows an unlocked Phenom II X3 running four cores on DFI's LP DX 790FXB-M2RS motherboard, and according to them similar success has been reported from Biostar, Gigabyte and others as well. According to some other information on the net, this can be done on 0904 batches of Phenom II X3 CPU's and still we must note that there is no guarantee that is will be stable as some of those CPUs are indeed a true triple-core due to the some sort of defect on the fourth core. The other theory is that the forth core is simply disabled and that all four cores works just fine. You can find the noted screenshot :  This post has been edited by verdict: Feb 25 2009, 09:56 PM

QUOTE(uzairi @ Feb 28 2009, 10:22 AM) bro ah_khoo stated that he can enable the 4th core but if it is stress tested with p95 or occt, the X3 will hang showing instability of the 4th core. maybe if the core is not that crippled then maybe luck is at ur side  Yeahh...one user spotted already...bang uzairi bila lagi... dgnar cerita dilemma kat dark...promos killer la...baru la ganas... QUOTE(casperito @ Feb 26 2009, 09:51 AM) heard that batch 0904 are only able to do this... summore whether the 4th core are stable or not depends on luck and the chip it self... but still, worth a try... save money summore... Yeahhh...but it worth to try dude...  This post has been edited by verdict: Mar 1 2009, 09:21 AM |
