Heat is the killer. I ran my x3 at 1.5 for two months with no issues but I have great load temps. As long as you can keep your temps in check, I wouldn't worry about 1.5v vcore. You might not even that much voltage unless your going for 4+ghz
cool, thx for the quick responses guys.
c_buzz can you please add me to the list? Thanks.
Has anybody figured out how to get core temps on a unlocked 550BE?

semi-worked one of the cores is bad and will only clock to 2ghz

Anyone successfully unlock x2 550BE on a GD70?
http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/8930/93896141.jpg
Manage to unlock to 4 cores.. :P
But very very unstable...
Temp shot up to 71C once all 4 core unlocked...
Using 1.44B bios..
Btw.. i'm using default cooler.. Fellow members who unlock all 4 cores n stable.. u guys using default cooler or?
I'm using the default cooler too, and the temps hit about 71 like you said. That's the cpu temp and not the core temp, though so I'm guessing the cores are hitting about 63 or so tops (about 8 degree difference when running two cores). AMD lists that the processor can handle up to 70, so hopefully with an aftermarket cooler I'll be able to run this at 4 cores.
Hi
I managed to unlock my 550 with a M4A78-E using bios 1104. In my previous post I wasnt able to do this but its very unstable I get graphical glitches.
I did manage to run prime95 and all cores seem to work ok. Im sure its just a bios update for this motherboard, Im emailing ASUS as we speak to see if they can rectify this problem.
Mind you, Its took 3 emails to ASUS as they dont know how to enable or find the unleash mode!!:shrug:
Sounds painfuly like my experience on this boardQuote:

A very very big thanks to Jingz83 for loaning me a True 120 and AMD brackets. Now finally got it stable. Now wif slight overclocking. Gonna try higher later....
So far my 1st ever AMD journey is quite successful :P

There's a new batch 0922CPMW.. anyone tried this batch?
I have one of those on the way along with a 550BE and a UD3P. Assuming my 550 does unlock at all, I will see if that board unlocks it :)Quote:

Asus M4A78T-E - 1503 BIOS
Success
http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/4482/overclock.png
I have a 720BE as well and I find this proc a better OCer and it *seems* to run a little cooler... :up:
Same problems for me with Win7/ Vista thou: Sleep just won't work. :( System either hangs or shuts down when trying to wake it up. .. kind of a bummer really.
Also, occasionally I need to do multiple hard resets to get it to post (with both 720 and 550) when unlocking when first turning on my machine, or changing BIOS settings - after it 'warms up' and I get past the "Overclocking Failed!" screen, it boots fine.
Any of you other mobo users out there have these problems? I'd like to know if it's mobo specific as I also can't seem to O/C very well on this platform.
Besides the problems, I love this 550 - it reminds me of the fun I had with my celery 300a.
Has anyone tried unlocking 0924EPMW i got this today but i cant try it until i get my motherboard.
It does seem that the ASUS board is having issues, a few ppl don't seem to be able to get the 550's unlocked with the M4A78-E , so guess the same issue with the 'T' version too.Quote:

Yeah Ive had this board for a few months now and my 'conclusion' is that this board (with current BIOS - who knows things may get better later?) is not a good choice for unlocking - or even overclocking. I can unlock these procs and keep a stable system, but only after alot of dicking around with the BIOS - and even then problems still exist. It's my opinion as what Ive come across online and my own personal experience that it could just be a BIOS issue. But I don't have anything to directly compare it to, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.Quote:

Hi guys a slight update on my situation with the 550BE.
As you may or may not know, I have a 0919EMPW and had a Gigabyte MA790XT UD4P along with 4GB of Corsair DDR3 (Both RMA'd). Personally I didn't like the board and I don't think it liked me :p:
Well anyway seeing as its payday for me I went ahead and ordered another 550BE and a Biostar TA790GX XE to see if:
A) My original chip will unlock
B) My new chip will unlock (I'm not sure what to expect)
C) If the Biostar TA790GX XE is any good and how it performs/unlcoks cores, etc. I know a few people on this forum are interested in this board but want to hear from other peoples experience, well that person BE me ;)
If I like the Biostar and have a chip that unlocks, I have a case project in mind which involves an xbox 360 chassis (RROD motherboard out of warranty) and shoehorning in the Biostar along with the 550BE, making the front USB slots usable with the Biostar, etc. All inside a 360 :D
I'm hoping the 60mm fans included with an xbox 360 are good enough to push out the heat of a phenom II.
Lets just say I can't wait until the morning :up:
Update:
My bits have arrived :D
I got me a 0924EPMW! Anyone had one of these yet? Do they unlock?
I'll be back in an hour as I'm about to find out :up:
I have the same one but im unable to try it so waitng for your results now.Quote:

Ok both my CPU's have dud cores, you can update the list on the first page C-Buzz.
CACYC AC 0919EPMW - Fail (Motherboard won't boot up when ACC enabled)
CACYC AC 0924EPMW - Fail (Motherboard won't boot up when ACC enabled)
I'm going to order another two chips and just hope they unlock. Knowing my luck I'll never get a chip that unlocks :(
judging by that and most of the other ep steppings anything with ep is going to fail, the ap steppings seem to do ok
Thats bad news for my chip then.Quote:

I'm doing a 180 on what I said about ordering 2 more, I'm going to a shop next time so I can see what I'm buying.
I only want a 550be unlocked to 4 cores for WCG to crunch and help out XS. Parts in the UK are expensive and I cant afford an I7, so a budget 550be unlocked is perfect for me.
Now I'm stuck with two 550's that overclock pretty well but I want to sell them because they wont unlock :( Expect a post in the FS section pretty soon :rolleyes:
P.S. this Biostar TA790GX XE is a fantastic motherboard for the price. It's packed full of features and overclocks very well. I have it hooked up to my 26" HDTV via HDMI @ 1920x1080 and it even plays sound through the same HDMI lead! It has onboard ATi graphics which you can overclock, a whole host of tweaking setting in the BIOS. The utilities CD that it comes with has a great load of software for overclocking.
All in all a 10 out of 10 from me, highly recommend this motherboard to anyone.
I just got my DFI JR 790GX-M3H5 and 550 yesterday from NewEgg and it's a 0923APMW (which hasn't even been mentioned in this thread). I'm having troubles unlocking it, but then it could just be me as I've never had an AMD CPU or have ever used AMD BIOS. I can get the BIOS to say "Phenom II X4 B50" and it will get past the "Windows was not shut down properly screen" but it won't show the Windows green loading bar, it just hangs at the blank black screen. Has anyone else had luck with this batch?
Man do I have a nuclear reactor posing as a cpu or is it my old Scythe Mine Rev. B not up to the task? The second I run any type of stability test (p95,IBT,) it hard locks no matter the voltage. Way too much heat.
edit: btw 0922 APMW delivered today

It's an old skt 939 era cooler but it keeps my x3 720 at 35-38C idle and 48-50C load. With 2 cores it doesn't go over 45C at load. I was planning on getting a new cooler anyway so I guess I'll be looking for something tomorrow.
I just got mine today it's in my hands. I am about to try it out on a UD3P. I think I may have a stepping not seen yet 0924BPMW (did not see it when I did a search on all the pages of this thread).
*crosses fingers*
Those temps are extremely high considering your speed/vcore unless your ambients are 40c? What are your ambients?Quote:

Ambient temp is <24C. Either this is a burner or my cooler just isn't up to the ask of cooling a quad.
Have you tried bumping the voltage? Bump it up to 1.5v to see if it will boot and then work down from there if it will boot. 0919EPMW seems like a good batch for the most part.Quote:

Question about putting ACC -2% to all four cores. What exactly does it do? I have a X2 unlocked to X4 overclocked to 3.8ghz (19multix200) at 1.456v. Settings are hyper,ACC all cores -2%. I am trying to get it to 3.9 or 4.0ghz. Does the settings i modify in the ACC affects my clocks? I might be limit out.. but I have a feeling that i can squeeze out another 100 or 200mhz. Please help me out here. Temps are fine, idles at 38c full load while running prime is around 55-58c on Zalman9900 air cooler. PSU is good, putting out enough power. Should i try to raise the north bridge voltage a bit? because is on stock voltage now. Voltages are all stock except Core and Vdim. Any suggestions would be appropriated.
Have you tried another BIOS...Quote:

IF you try the newest bios it will not post with acc set to auto. Also that motherboard does not have options to adjust NB. It does work with latest version of AOD to change multiplyer. Voltage changes must be made in bios. This motherboard works ok if you are looking for a mild oc. Say 3.6-3.8 more than that and it doesn't seem to be to stable. I have not tried to raise the base clock so some gains might be had there. But the biggest set back is on not being able to change the NB multipler. I will have a test later this week early next week on the msi 790fx-gd70. I'll let you guys know how it goes.
Immortal, crcdisk.sys boot error usually means one of the memory sticks got loose. Otherwise you can just repair your windows installation with your windows cd on startup.
Yeah, I reseated the RAM and the error went away. However, I'm pretty sure that my batch truly has two defective cores that won't unlock. I've tried almost everything now, and no matter what I do, it always hangs right before the Windows green loading bar screen.Quote:

Ahhhh that might be my problem. I just read ACC doesn't work on the latest BIOS (525) which is a shame because that BIOS offcially supports the 550be whereas the older one doesn't. Also you can change the NB frequency all the way past 3600MHz, not sure if the old BIOS does this.Quote:

Mobo: GA MA770T UD3P, BIOS F2c
What I did was:

2) Found bios F2c, flashed from F2->F2c.
3) Here where it got weird. For one it did not ask me if I wanted to flash, it just flashed.
4) Went into ACC in the new bios, turned on hybrid firmware and ACC to auto. Saved settings and got a message that it was updating firmware. Message went away, system went to re-start and it just sat at a black screen. Cleared CMOS and got back into the bios, ACC mode was back to normal not hybrid.
5) Switched back to hybrid mode, saved, did not tell me it was updating firmware, restarted fine. Went back in, set ACC to auto, restarted, no post. Now...it would not restart at all, and would not turn off. I had to flip the switch on the PSU to get it to turn off...BUT...as soon as I flipped the PSU back on it re-posted by itself and posted fine and I got into windows. I restarted, same black screen with the same solution.
So for some reason it wont cold or warm restart, but the PSU switch being flipped lets it boot right up? :shrug: Not only that but when I do get it to restart with the PSU and re-enter the bios, all the settings are what I put them at. Hybrid ACC on Auto. However when I do get into windows I only have two cores.
So...not sure if my CPU is bad or if the board is just ultra buggy. I am now trying to get my M3A79-T Deluxe to flash to a mod bios I saw in a thread here, but it won't let me flash back to it because it is too old. I have tried using EZ Flash, Asus Update, and even ADUFDOS and all of them are telling me I can't roll back because its too old. It's not the mod bios either because I can't roll back to an older official bios either, I tried. So I will try and get that stupid board working but it's just annoying me. I also have a Biostar XE mobo that should arrive today. I will try on THAT board today too.
I both love and hate hardware ;)
flash an earliar bios on the giga board sounds like it didn't like the flash
Forgot to mention that actually. When I realized the flash to F2c seemed dodgy, I flashed back to F2 and then re-flashed to F2c. The flash went much smoother, it prompted me to update instead of just doing it, the firmware told me it was updating and it did re-post when I set the firware to hybrid (but kept ACC off for the first reboot). However once I had both Hybrid and ACC Auto on the odd PSU restart method was back.Quote:

I don't have the option to turn on Hybrid mode in F2 thought :confused: That was why I searched and found out about F2c.Quote:

Sounds like you are still having the crcdisk.sys error. Try booting into safe mode. You may want to repair your windows installation.Quote:

I had to rma my video card, so I'm computer-less right now, but when I get the new card I'm getting a Freezer Pro 7 as well, so hopefully I'll have some success with the temps.
I've reinstalled/repaired windows a few times now and when I have ACC set to auto, I get stuck at crcdisk.sys when trying to boot into safe mode no matter what. However when I have the BIOS set to defaults, my computers hangs for about a minute at the crcdisk.sys message, then boots into safe mode. Could this be related to a faulty CPU, Mobo, HDD?Quote:

No serious stress testing yet, but so far so good as far as my preliminary testing goes. One thing I always watch is WPrime, from my experience, if the cores stay in sequence (or at least close) during the benchmark thats a good sign your going to be able to get it stable.

Heres a SS:

I had to give it a little Vcore, but not nearly as much as the 940 or the 720, and the temps still seem to be decent (of course it's just a guess on an unlocked chip :p:)...
So far I'm a Happy Camper!! This may very well be my new "Best Ever Chip"...:D
Week 22's are fairly recent, but if these are the duds that weren't good enough to be 965's it gives me hope for AMD's process improvements. :yepp:

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3.../0703_4Ghz.png
:rolleyes: i guess I'm just going to have to wait for a stable bios from MSI that will unlock. I can prime any two sets or individual cores up the wazoo( using affinity ), but if I add a third core hard locks instantly. I even hard locked doing menial task in windows like clicking on a youtube video. It didn't matter how few or how many volts I threw at it. It's a pretty good clocking chip for an x2 cause I'm at 3.8ghz with 1.385, but the temps are completely retarded in software running 4 cores. What's strange is that every once in a while when I boot up with 4 cores the temps will report fine in AOD, HWmonitor, and everest but that's once every 5 -6 boots. I'd even get core temp readings that weren't 0C but realistic 28-29C idle. Any stress test will hard lock within 10s of starting though. :confused:Quote:

What board and bios are you running that they wont unlock? May be it's just not the right combination.
btw are you going to the Zagreb music festival? I hear it's always amazing.
Biostar TA790GX A2+, Biostar TA790GXB and Gigabyte M720-UD3. No luck on all 3, two CPUs with no boot, one boots but locks after 1 sec. Tryed every possible combo with bios, voltage... but 0920 batch is pure :banana::banana::banana::banana:.

On bios 0023, I cant boot with ACC enabled at all. Though it just seems like a bad bios for me as I cant even change the multiplier with that bios either, it just wont post at anything but default.
1104 I can change multi and it works, ACC enables but it does nothing.
Latest 1104 bios also reports 1.45volts default for the cpu in bios though CPU-Z 1.51 says 1.35 in Windoze.
On a side note, thought I had corrupted the bios in flashing it. It would post but would fail in sending S.M.A.R.T commands to the hdd and couldn't boot(disabling smart did nothing). Noticed some dust on the bios chip so I sprayed it nice and clean with Contact cleaner and flashed no problem after that.
Sorry that's the one I was thinking of a dj friend of mine played there a few years ago and he still talks about how crazy it is. I know 0920 is not the best, but have you tried different bios.
