hm, then I guess I'll want to buy another 2GB stick so I can have 2x2GB for 4 GB.
The sticks should probably be similar right? The one I have is DDR2 1066 5-5-5-15, 2.1V. Any suggestions?

Get the same brand & same part number with the existing one.
darn...I think that would be expensive since it's corsair dominator. The only reason I got this stick is because i took a gamble on an eBay auction selling untested ram, and the stick happened to work.
I guess I'll buy ram when I can afford it (first week of february) if I can't use all the ram I have.
Any recommendations? There's deals on 4GB of OCZ Reaper DDR2 1066 and 4GB Patriot Viper 1066 on newegg, but the rebates expire after Jan 31st, though I imagine they'll just get renewed, or more rebates will just show up.
If I want another 2GB stick to match the one I have, should I get this?

DDR2 1066, 2.1v, 5-5-5-15...it's rather expensive though
UPDATE: ARGGHHH!!! My dorm's mail sorting is garbage so even though the cpu and mobo and all were delivered today, I can't pick it up because they haven't logged and sorted all the received mail...I was able to SEE my box in the mail room and they wouldn't give it to me
FINALLY was able to pick up my parts. Put the system together in less than 2 hours, tried powering it up and it all looks good!
Now I'm trying to install windows 7...which is an awfully slow process. We'll see about the unlock and oc afterwards.
I stuck in all the ram for now. If I have problems with the OC, then I'll pull out the 667 and buy a 4GB pack when I get some more money.
I set ACC to auto and to all cores, and CPUz is still saying only 2 cores and no L3. It still boots and all though
CACVC AC 0932FPCW
Any advice?
UPDATE: apparently I disabled ACC on accident, not setting it to all cores (though I had tested it on auto)...argh still not working
UPDATE2: WOOHOO!! Boots labeled Phenom FX-5000 quad core! Hadn't been setting EC to hybrid firmware. YAY!
I'm hitting a wall with my fsb at 270.
I set the ram multiplier to 2.00x, and all voltages are at default, and HT link width and frequency are on auto.
If I raise fsb to 275, it won't post. I've tried raising the ram voltage to 2.00V from 1.80V, but it's not doing any good.
I know you mentioned dropping the HT, but I'm not sure what the setting for that is. There's a setting for HT link width and HT link frequency, but I'm not sure what that is exactly. I tried setting HT link width to 8.0 and HT link frequency to 800 mhz and 1ghz but it didn't help.
Any advice?
UPDATE: It appears to purely be a ram issue. I took out the 2 sticks of ddr2 667, and I was able to get it to boot at 3.3ghz, but I don't know how stable it is yet. I guess I'll have to invest in some faster ram.
It seems Athlon x2 5000 have IMC doesn't like 4 x DIMM .......Quote:

I have 3 x DIMM. When I tested it and it posted it was with 1 x DIMM.Quote:

Once I get 2 sticks of 1066 ddr2, i'll replace my ram and oc more.
I have 2 of these chips on the same type mobo and I hit a wall @ 3.26Ghz. Below that and it's completely stable running VM's for F@H. These cpu's are pegged @ 100% 24/7. They make great little quad core workhorses. SuperBiiz now has them for $49.99 w/free shipping. I think I will pick up another;).Quote:

It shouldn't support DDR3 since it's a Deneb with only a DDR2 controller (similar to a Phenom 920 if you'd like) on top of that, the die is AM2+.
Well.. DDR2 vs DDR3 wise... you have more bandwidth (moar megahertz!) and thus more performance. idk.. 30% increase in performance ? ..the only disadvantage to buying a new system based on DDR3 is that it costs more. If money isn't a problem then you should go for it since the Phenom 5xx series is far more overclockable (and far more better 2.2Ghz vs 3Ghz stock) compared to this FX5000.
P.S.: If you decide to go for it what will you do with that unlockable Deneb, could you trade ? ..i still don't know if mine will unlock (couldn't find anyone with a 790).
I agree with Alexs2tank. If the 100.00 price difference between the platforms is not an issue, you will get higher clocks/more performance out of the PII x2 555 with DDR3. The only niche this CPU has right now is that you can unlock it to a quad with modest clocks for only $50.00.Quote:

I have a problem, using cpuz it shows my cpu runs at 800GHZ-1700GHZ (mostly around 840GHZ) multipler x4, altough I did set it at 12.5x, what settings on the MB bios do i need to do for it to reach at least 2200GHZ, my MB is a magic-pro MP-AKGX-M Ultra, 790GX/SB750 with support of both DDR2 and DDR3, i'm using 2x 512MB DDR2 533, will buy later on 2x 2GB DDR2 1066.
update
I have finally got it to 2200GHZ, but it's still going up and down, is there a function to disable the auto core speed, setting the multipler will not work.
kms
do you guys know where to pick up one of these in u.s. or online? thanks.

The key to identifying the right 5000+ for unlocking is to confirm it is 45nm and AM2+.
Disable "Cool & Quiet" in Bios.Quote:

Any ideas on Foxconn mobos? I came across a deal for a $46 Foxconn A76ML-K, and I was curious if it would support unlocking cores or not. I tried emailing Foxconn directly to ask if their BIOSes support ACC, but I still haven't heard back from them for some time now.
the SB710 chipset supports ACC.Quote:

Chipset: AMD 760G & SB710
here's my take on the X2 5000, just got 12 boxes 7 can unlock & 5 don't, even some have the SAme batch/ product code one would unlock & one won't so i guess it's really goes down to luck then lol. used a J&W790GX & a Biostar 785GE to test the 12 CPU's & both have the same result on these CACVC AC 0935/ 0936 types.

It's a AM2+ based Deneb anyway
It's weird that they use many fully working Deneb Cores in a model with a K8 nomenclature (No Athlon II), and that would be be better suited by Regor parts without the entire Cache L2 functional.
I suppose that they may have a damaged DDR-III IMC but the DDR-II one fully functional, or something around these lines, else, why would they choose to use a Socket AM2+ package inhibing it from being used in a Socket AM3 Motherboard when they could use an AM3 package and be able to run on both?
I have the magic pro MP-AKGX-M ultra, it will work for all current AMD cpu including athlon X2 5000 upto phenom 11 X4 965, not sure about core 6, and it supports both DDR2 and DDR3, I have just purchased the Phenon 11 X2 555, and it also unlockable to B55 with 4 cores and L3 caches memory. installed it with 2x 4GB so dimm netbook/notebook memory, total 8GB using windows 7 ultimate 64 Bit.Quote:

cool i just bought one for $35.07 shipped, hopefully this one will unlock my last one didnt, bought it from newegg thou. my last chip i bought form ewiz did it was a 720 be
3.575ghz 2600ht and nb dual core with l3 unlocked

Now that the 6-core phenom II's are out, it's time to start looking for chips that have 6 unlockable cores :D
Phenom II x4 960T should be your next targetQuote:

AMD Cancels Retail Phenom II X4 960T Thuban Quad Core Processors
AMD sent out an e-mail today letting the press know that we shouldn't expect to see any retail Phenom II X4 960T Thuban quad-core processors being sold individually on the retail market. These were very interested parts as the engineering samples that were available could be unlocked to become six-core processors. If we had to guess these processors will be available only in OEM systems on motherboards that don't have core unlocking technology in the BIOS. This is a big let down as it could have easily been the best price versus performance processor on the market for AMD. I wonder what AMD will be doing with all the fall out from the Thuban six-core processors now or if the OEM market will scoop them all up?
This was the CPU i was waiting for, i'm sure the amd 960T will be available in china, may be i'll try to pick some up.
Changing to intel now! :mad:Quote:

in the meantime the FX-5000 Phentlon would suffice :D
have you read the latest news, the 960T will not be sold through the retail channel.
960T won't sell in Retail ChannelQuote:

you may be right, the sole distributor in hong kong has mention that the X4 955 and X4 965 is at it's EOL stage and is being phased out, so the 960T could be it's replacements as AMD cannot do without a top of the range 4 core cpu.
@kms108
I hope your right :)
coz I eagerly await this proc
Almost everything Deneb was/is due to be phased out this quarter.
Hey dud3man, what settings in the bios are you using for that overclock,Quote:

good with AMI bios's yet.
Thanks, budzos
Anyone dried this one with ddr3 combination? :D
I am thinking to buy this one :)
45nm x2 5000+ is AM2+ only. No DDR3 mem controller onboard.Quote:

@zir_blazer
if it's there (DDR3 support) i wonder if there's a way to activate it? I have the Hummer HA-08 AM2+ mobo which supports both DDR2 & DDR3 mems.
You must keep in mind than the fact that it is a Deneb, doesn't mean that you can actually use the DDR-III IMC. Maybe it is damaged or non functional. Maybe the way than the AM2+ package routes each wire trace to pin is critically different to the AM3 package and that is why an AM2+ based 45nm Processor (PIIX4 920, 940, this AX2 5000+) would not work even if you remove that extra Pin for make it fit in Socket AM3 (Tom's Hardware style). But the conclusion is that while it is there, you can't use it.
So the Thuban era begins ;)Quote:
