I'm sure AMD already has unlocked CPUs... Oh, wait, yes... they made them.
Lol, I think he thinks he is getting away with some kind of blackmail or something.Quote:

Something like that.
AMD doesnt care......
AMD has unlocked CPU's but its the FX SeriesQuote:

How do you know they don't have unlocked venice's? I bet they do.Quote:

Gigabyte k8t800 based board unlocked 754 cpus...
"Cool & Quiet" can be hacked as well to get higher multi's.

It is possible. When i get time, i will find the references to the gigabyte board, although that was almost 2 years ago now, the best i remember is blue background or dark background for the site for the gigabyte board, and i have heard it from a person working with a mobo company when he posted a weird multi that it was cool and quiet hack. also note in DFI bios that you can set the CNQ max multi to higher than stock multi. never tried it with CnQ driver installed tho...I fold 24/7.
But it isn't workingQuote:

MAX_MULTI is stored in non-volatile register inside the cpu.
That is read by the bios on boot.... :rolleyes:

I "researched" the CnQ idea before when someone suggested it in this thread but I didn't find any proof, just rumors. That's why I asked you if you knew more. :rolleyes:Quote:

Was it Epox Tech you were talking about?

Personally, i think CnQ is the way to go. MAX FID and VID are based on what the driver/bios read from the cpu, and the bios/driver then deems what the max is. I am unsure whether the bios prevents the higher multi selection, or the driver, but I was able to get powernow working on Nforce2 boards when it was said it couldn't be done. This involved modding the cpu traces to other than what has been shown to unlock "superlocked" AXP's, and getting the cpu recognized by the bios as something other than what it really was.
So maybe a combination of a proper bios, and the right CnQ driver, would enable higher multi selection from within windows.
I siad "do some research", becasue although one person may not be able to find anything, another may just by having a different perspective on things. It wasn't meant as a slight in any way; but ot just give up is not how the problem can be solved.
In regards to the gigabyte board, i'm pretty sure that the site that had the review on it was tbreak, but i have not been able to find that article. The way it may have been done could have been nixed by current cpu revisions, anyway, as socket 754 is an old beast.
In regards to actually getting you hands on the "CnQ hack" referenced in many places, i doubt that it would be something you could just download, although i'm fairly certaina programmer with enough ambition could make the nessecary changes to make it happen...why else would this option be in the DFI bios?
so did we finally figure out what's with the unlocked venice?
Nope. :(Quote:

But, maybe you're right. I'm sure they know exactly what happened to the motherboard and/or CPU to make this happen out of the blue even though they have never see the CPU or motherboard in question. lol.
Any decent engineer of any product that failed in an uncommon way would be curious as to what caused it and would like to see it. The unlocking is a failure in the CPU as well as the non-working CnQ. Are you saying that there could be only one cause for these design failures and AMD already knows it? I think not, but maybe you're an expert on CPUs or something.
Last word.
/me thinks it's a good idea to lock this thread. When there is new serious news people can always start a new thread or ask a mod to reopen it.
This is going nowhere.... to bad people don't take the effort to read the thread. In a thread of 36 pages you can be damn sure whatever you have to say has been said already.
i read throught this whole entire thread and i say for the first 20Pages every thing was good and from then on, bleh it went downhill.
I hope someone finds this secret out.
Well I had my "know-it-all" motions on this thread, but I didn't say anything.
Because I might be wrong and the gang of young hooligans might be on to something.
And find the "Holy Grail".
And who knows if that will not happened.
Let they try, and give them the positive support of knowledge you have.
But lock it ?
Nej ...
If this thread has over 900 replies and almost 80 K views, let it ride on.
This is XS and nothing else.
Hell some of XS threads should been cast away after the first thread.
So keep this thread alive and pumping, you are the proof that we all old farts lost 20 years ago.
So come on .... and create miracle
