I am really thinking that its a good challenge to try this little chip what can do, after I maxed my 9950 to OC..
I can throw it on mine and see how it does. I might try that this weekend if time permits. Unless someone else verifies before then.Quote:

If i rember correct the next Bios for this Mobo should have a Unleashed mode implemented in it.
Ive been checking night and day ,, I want to run the 720 back on The M3A once the New bios is out(provided it has the Unleashed option). other wise it will stay a 3xcore @ 3900mhz:D
Once i get a DDR3mobo for 550 then this UD4P with house the 720be.
I havent used a Gigabyte since 754/days, still have that Mobo too. They have made Huge progress since for AMD platforms.
Im hopeing ASUS pulls through,, M3A79-T is one sweet DDr2 mobo for Clocking on normal cores,, id like to see it come alive with Unleashed Mode one day.
Thanks for the tips.Quote:

And this 550BE is Gem, but the 2 together are exciting. I will try to get it under my main water setup tongith, I have to Mow etc first.
Haaaaha dont forget to clean the edge(trim),,then water once your done:wasntme:Quote:

You know that Golden 9950( 3959mhz) run on water that grabbed the uber 720 for me:D :up:*Chew for that contest.:up:
Nice showing guys! :D
Congratz on getting two free cores with your CPUs :rofl:!
Makes me want one Phenom II X2 but I've already set my eyes on Regor!
For next customer build I will get Callisto to play with :yepp::up:
Awesome, so now we are at 3 from 3 in the 0921 batch range. This is an excellent sign.Quote:

Looks like 0921 is the batch to get for sure :up: But they are not selling this stepping anywhere in Au yet :(

Hahaa,,
Im a bad influence, but in a good way:rofl:
Ive pushed only 1.74v so far but stopped because my PSU is too weak.
It can handle 1.6v easy with the right cooling...Just dont get all crazy and youll be fine.
See what you started :p:Quote:

Sorry for the late response vandiesel, just got back from work. I am using Windows 7 RC 64-bit edition. I was also using the BIOS dated 1/13/09 (lol I wanted to see if the latest BIOS 6/3/09 was better; however my RAM doesn't like the default voltage and now my system refuses to post). Good luck and hopefully we can figure out your issue.Quote:

Bios 78DBA525(Latest June) will result in hang at first post screen with ACC enabled, no matter what OS.
With ACC enabled I can't get into windows or get to the first 39 mins screen while installing xp(slipstreamed sp2-3), or vista, or win 7 32bit, it hangs, no problem with just 2 cores, I can install or boot no problem. With any of these OS installed(using 2 cores) reboot/acc enabled I will hang just before the XP chase screen, but if boot in safe mode I can get in.
Installing an original xp(no slipstream) or xp sp1a(slipstreamed) disc with ACC enabled will result in a install and boot into windows with no problems with all 4 cores(this is what I have been using to bench). I have also tried original xp install and then a manual install of sp2/3(individually) and it results in a hang after reboot, if I uninstall I can boot into windows. Ubuntu 9.04 will install with 4 cores also.
I have also tried various acc settings, auto/per core etc no go at fixing problem. The cpu has been benched with 4 cores at 3.7/3.8
X2 550 BE
0920 GPMW
Biostar TA790GX A2+
Just a quick note on the power fets on this board the really need to be sinked if running quad
cheers
There is your problem right there :) I haven't seen a single 0920 step successfully unlock so far & I've personally tested 6 of them.Quote:

anyone in Australia got one unlocked yet ? ....I'll be after one soon ! :rofl:
I just orderd another 550 from the egg. If anyone wants a unlockable 720BE. I have all the results with it on the MA790FXT-UD5P;)
So... where do you stand with baords that support the unlocking feature? should we make a list?
