What a fail this is. I even use ACC on my 965 to get more mhz out of it. Of course it only yeilds maybe 30 Mhz max. but seriously...
Nice to see board manufacturers like ASUS stepping in to help those who can't afford to buy nice ~$200 CPU's.

So why do you post about it? :confused:Quote:

And yes we care :-) .Ive seen multiple comments on this forums mainly on amd stuff for "breaking" nda, the reaction should be opposite.
Thuban is 2 months away and no leaks so far, we have pretty much all info about gulftown for half a year already...
i noticed how if its s7e9h3n or somebody its no big deal & everyone asks for results etc, but when someone else does it, everyone comes outta the woodwork to tell them they are breaking nda.... :shrug:
i agree w/ rav, this is xtremesystems - if people are going to post early results / pics we should thank them instead of hate on them lol
edit: mmmmm evil post 666 ;)
Marketing shens again? Because you know Mobo manufacturers are like so cool when they allow it anyways. That means they're giving a finger to the man and are our best friends right?
It's a more than one year old news but:
AMD RD890 chipset to improve Phenom II overclocking in late Q2 2009
Glad to see motherboard manufactures step things up when CPU companies want to limit/ disable certain things.

I see some AsRock 890GX+SB750 mobo in my magic sphere.:D
does anyone know any details about acc? maybe it could be implemented in software?
Software ECC sounds better.
ecc is completely unrelated to this thread and has to be done in hardware otherwise you lose A LOT of performance
I think Wizz won't be angry if he will get bios from mb with 890gx+sb850 :rolleyes:
maybe he could find something interesting :D
nah i dont have time for dissecting a bios .. tbh i dont even have an amd system :P if someone figures out something i'm sure willing to write whatever software is needed
c'mon Wizz :D
Sure, give me a source OBR or stuff it.
If ASUS can do this, why can't anyone else? BIOS related, I don't think so perhaps the chipset doesn't have the same ACC as before, but Nvidia managed to implement their version of ACC (NCC) in their chipset so I am sure manufacturers will find a way around this.
Also, SB710 and SB750 won't go EOL anytime soon so unlocking can still happen anyhow but I sincerely believe it will still be possible with newer chipsets.
Also why post about it if you don't care, to prove you're a more complete human being than all of us? ;)

AMD banned ACC core unlocking on all 7 series chipsets too. Remember a short while after people discovered core unlocking, AMD notified all board makers to release a BIOS update to disable the functionality? Then what happened? One board maker (Biostar) ignored their demands and soon every other mobo maker followed.
If Asus can do this, this means the functionality is still in the southbridge, and that means it's only a matter of time before every board maker has the functionality implemented again.
Multiple firmware modes are awesome :)Quote:

Sounds like they simply removed ACC. Since it isn't really all that useful for cores 800-series chipsets are for, it makes sense to drop it as an unneeded legacy feature. Saying AMD is removing it for the sake of disabling the core unlocking hobby is painting motive where we don't yet have cause to make such accusations.
