Maybe overclocking with CnQ is a factor to unlocking .... :stick:
i think that amd is screwing up their locks, if not at least one amd funguy in the world would had got an unlocked cpu by casuality, i mean why its happening now and not before, those are new processors.
i guess someone in amd its going to get his balls cut off
Sory about my english i did´t used it since almost last year
Cool and quite is controlled from bios right? Bios taking control of the chips speed and multi, maybe when the system is overclocked, Q&Q screws up and messing up with the multis while trying to get the chip to the speeds it wants and some home has a permanat effect on the cpu, cause all the multi's to be released.
In short, it uses a glitch or bug in the software in effect hacking the chip threw this exploit and unlocking it.
Maybe we should mod the Q&Q part of the bios to use multis that are not avaliable on the current cpu and see if it can implement them :D

Heh, cool...I'm still waiting for HW :)
But tomorrow I will play with CNQ. I always used it off before...maybe is the key.

damn tha's crazy .. my cpu date is 0512 me thinks i should set fsb to 240 with c&q enabled :D
Ok guys I just found this maybe it can help. Hey tin_eof have you seen this?

Ouch. UPS and Fedex might clean up on all the RMAs. :p:
Went back to look at PIRS post don't see where he had MOBO burn-out or problem.
I also just found this. You guys may have seen it but give a look

Hey guys,
Just a little thought for those of you out their who know a little more than me abt CPUs.
My chain of thought:
How does CnQ work?
By software?
If so, wht does the software do?
We know the software has access to the multipliers of the chip (its how CnQ works, right ;))
So I think it far to say tht CnQ can PROGRAMITICALLY change values within the CPU.
The first thing I would do is,
try to decompile the CnQ program AMD uses and study to see how CnQ works
I think this could be a key to working out how to re-program these locked CPU's. Now could someone in the know make this happen
De-compile the software!!
heheheeee
ROLF :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :p:Quote:

cuz programatically is not a word but tha's okay
what about the other modles of amd chips that don't support c&q? how would those unlock???
what was the idea againQuote:

interesting thought mongoled but im pretty sure the multi would be locked on-chip otherwise mobo manufacturers could just make a hacked version
Erm, ok I spelt the word wrong :slap: but to sayQuote:

Well the discussion at hand is abt A64 CPUs which from wht I understand ALL support CnQ (someone please correct me if wrong abt this).
Yes,Quote:

Hey guys. When i flashed my Bios to 1.A on my neo2 i overclocked the hell outa my Winnie to its point of death (2.5 in my case lol) but i left CnQ active by mistake, only reason i noticed is cus my SPi times Sucked. Im gonna go and check on my cpu now. I had dividers and all sorts running, the same as clocker
Hm...
As I understand nobody know how did their CPU's get unlocked, but in every case the common thing was Enabled CnQ.
I enabled it too, play with FID, VID, and CPU Load level, but nothing happens yet. It is still x9 max.
So describe as detailed as possible, what did you do before you cpu free multi.?
This screenshot shows some very interesting things! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:Quote:

Clocker, could you try to run any 64-bit OS, e.g. W64 or Linux 64b if it works?
Also, could you post your CPU-Z dump please? (at stock)
