Maybe its a certain board/bios revision deal and these cores. I also have seen several people having phantom unlocked chips, maybe there needs to be a seperate post for JUST people with odd unlocks to enter their mobo's/bios revisions, chips and their steppings.
the chip was "normal" with two previous owners.......when i got it (from day 1) it became an Opti148 :)
@s7e9h3n............you just made a bigger deal out of it than it should be
your explanation lacked any concrete data that related to SuperPI performance and here is why i say that.....you earlier statement is somewhat incorrect as i am performing better with SCSI even though it is bandwidth starved
i don't know why you got your nickers in a twist.......guess you just don't get my sense of humour :rolleyes:

The only reason why superpi performance is improved using scsi isn't because of the drives themselves, it's due to the scsi card's ability to help free up cpu usage for floating point calculations.Quote:

lost the 11xmulti today :cussing: :cussing: :cussing: :cussing: :cussing: :cussing: :cussing: :cussing: :cussing: :hitself: :hitself: :hitself: :hitself: :shakes: :shakes: :shakes: :shakes: :shakes: :shakes: :shakes: :shakes: :shakes: :shakes: :bsod: :bsod: :bsod: :bsod: :bsod: :bsod: :bsod: :bsod: :bsod: :bsod: :bsod: :bsod: :bsod: :bsod:
just be happy you didn't lose ALL the multis like I did on my Opty :(Quote:

Is this just randomly happening?Quote:

so its a bios error that unlocked the cpu? The bios has the power to do that? Either that, or i dont understand correctly
Seeing your sig, that's a nice 165. What stepping is it? Got any stability shots, prime?Quote:

wow...notice any differences in default auto settings besides max multi? And how can you be sure the 11x multi will stick when switching to your FF's?Quote:

And I'm not getting very good mounts. Put IHS back on and got good results but when I pulled the evap off (at +25C) it took the IHS off and stuck pretty damn firmly to it... so I'll have to do that again, stupid concave IHS :slapass:

EDIT: gonna be upgrading to 2GB soon... hope I get to keep my multi :(
Tried any other chips? :D dinos' cpu unlocking service $20 for a ride in the magic board of unlockingness.Quote:

stranger things have happened, but im sure the likely hood of this happining would be near impossible....
but imagine all the cpu's he would recieve!!!!! "rich" inna month !!!! lol
TCCD RAM i played with so far has been rock solid since the start of adventureQuote:

these OCZ sticks are a different story........they are not behaving the same way......they are the ones that will go back to 10 and retrieve back to 11 BUT they is a way of doing it....i accidentally figured it out
i am tempted to pull put the Opti146 for Opti165 and try unlock some multies.......i have a strange feeling a mix of these components is creating the multi farkups....MOBO/CPU/RAM
also with my preset settings in bios i tried to boot and hold down the settings with 11xmulti while it was on 10 and it wouldn't work just in case someone asks
holy :banana::banana::banana::banana: i just remembered something...........................when i got the board and CPU from c-buzz i COULD NOT BOOT with FF sticks........after a bit of playing around one stick in top yellow slot booted up fine so i shut it down and put the second stick in the other yellow slot..........>>>>NOW on first attempt this didn't work so i didn't think it would happen>>>HOWEVER it did boot and i proceeded to install windows..............it was all fine UNTIL i got a blue screen on the first loading of windows if i remember correctly............at this point i am pretty sure i changed over to LE sticks which booted fine and i totally gave up on FF in the beginning as i could not get them stable at 2.5-3-3-6.......it was a shocker......................only a week later and some advice from eva2000 helped me unleash that set of FF sticks to 310MHz 2.5-4-3-7 1T.......ANYWAY...the moral of this story is the chip had a max of 10xmulti UNTIL i received it and i only noticed the EXTRA multi once i started playing with RAM (I DID NOT CHECK on first boot)..........I think it was that first RAM trouble that unlocked it straight away
and i don't think i'll ever lose 11xmulti as a cmos clear is getting it back for me :)
