I'm sure he means a complete clear cmos after flashing (pull power psu, pull battery, jumper switch, and the boot new bios.)

i thought that the latest beta bios for the gd70 unlocked

I take it this works with the X2 550 as well?

Thanks TOPPC,

But I do not obtain to initiate the Windows Vista.

I tried to also increase the Vcore.

:(

thanks for sharing mate...

You aren't able to get the bios for the MSI DKA790GX non plat are ya?

it´s working with the latest 1.4beta bioses.
check the msi gd70 thread. fr0ze has unlocked a 550be with the 1.4b4 bios.

couldnt unlock my 720BE with 1.4b2, so i assume its my chip
will try with the latest though

I unlocked my X3 720BE... but i couldn't get it stable... :P

Mine unlocked too, but the system hangs when I stress core4, also very high temperatures in idle even with stock voltages (45-50C with 3cores its 30-35). :shrug:

Well the 4th core of the tricore CPUs was locked by AMD for a reason, usually because it is a bum core or super hot or both ;) so for some people unlocking will do no good, for others it will. Depends on the exact chip.

with acc@-6 I can do a 1M pi run before the lockup occurs, so maybe there's hope with a pair of high cfm fans

btw my cpu is a terrible overclocker, I only managed to pull 3400 out of it @ ~1.5v... :(

i tried unlocking my cpu stops reaporting core temps and crashes when ram is stressed so im not sure if its unlockable. im guna play around with it more

it does not unlock my 720 with this bios or the latest 1.4bx's or any bios for that matter

i think that amd batted with good chips on black edition, since they didnt have enough chips that were defective to fill the anticipated demand on the 720 so they had them in the 710 and other OEM grade chips and now they sell almost only black editions from what it looks like so they moved the defects up in the line.

i still like the platform but im a little disappointed, but it looks like with better cooling i can get 4ghz stable on a $120 cpu (im on stock cooling, and its bad)

Same BIOS, same issue. I think we both should try out 1.4b4 which is proven to unlock before we throw in the towel ;)

Sadly I just moved to a new appartment so sitting on my little lappy, won't be able to play until this weekend/next week :(

I've tried some 1.4 betas but unfortunately they are not really perfect. :( I have a pretested X2 550 which is 100% stable with 4 cores and 3.5GHz@1.35V in ASUS M3A79-T Dlx and AsRock 780G. I've set the ACC to Special and AUTO in MSI (GD70) but the prime small FFT test always failed (frozen after ~1 minutes)...even on 2600MHz. :shakes:

So come on MSI and let's make some developement on this function!!

I am sorry but I have to say: GREAT this shows my chip still has unlocking potentials ;)

If your chip can unlock on other mobos but not MSIs then there's still hope for me ^^

I realised that GD70 might be a good board to unlock cores... but good to overclock.

I've tried my X2 550BE (0922APMW) & X3 720BE (0904EPMW) both good batches, on other mobos and they are able to perform stably wif all 4 cores.
But wif GD70, those chip can't even perform stably after a massive clock down in speed.

MSI's current implementation is a little unstable. 1.4b3 is the best bios for unlocking for me compared to 1.4b4 which breaks the unlocking on my X3 720BE.

1.4b5 is out now but I havent tried it.

i tried all the 1.4bX versions...
All cannot get my chips stable.. tml i'm gonna bring my chip over to my friend's house to test..
Hopefully DFI can give me answers... :D

I agree with the beta's being unstable at unlocking but they are betas. Hopefully everything is sorted out and we get a good final release.

Mine can run prime 32M too, but PI causes instability. Could you post a screenshot of a 32M pi run?

Nice job Toppc ;)

10 minutes of prime small ffts

http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/5...t4core2800.jpg

large ffts freeze the system like pi :shakes:

I've had the same results with my x2 550. Unlocked, anytime I try blend, large, or pi I'll get a freeze. Cinebench or small fft can run no problem. I don't know for sure, but I suspect it's a bios problem. I've been thinking about getting a gigabyte am3 board to prove my theory but I'm a little strapped for cash right now.

shadow

sounds more like an imc problem if u can't run blend. or a setting or two is off on teh ramz

I haven't messed with trying to diagnose the problem since last week, but the the screwy thing that gets me thinking is the off the charts temp reporting. Idk I can run any kind of stress test using affinity on either set of cores or any combination of single or two cores. Anytime I add a third or fourth core to the mix insta freeze as soon as it goes to 100% load. I've been lazy today just lurking forums but maybe I'll get on it tonight.

bios temp reporting is definitely wrong with ac firmware set to special, it shows >10C higher than real temp.

also looking at toppc's screenshots I see prime large ffts running fine :yepp:

We're still waiting for that fixed BIOS... :rolleyes:

agreed with Beta, all 1.4 Beta still have memory adressing issues with large FFT iteration and super PI. They make my system instantly freezing. Can't wait Toppc post fixing bios :shrug:

Still waiting new bios:D

toppc, any news about when the fixed bios will arrive?

I´m waiting this BIOS.:D

I've got the same issue with my 550 BE. Any Prime95 load and instant freezes on any of the 1.4b releases. Can't wait to get a stable unlocking bios for the GD70 :)

That screenshot above with four SP instances at 3.2GHz on a 550 looks very promising :up:

Unfortunate that the 550 unlocked core stability issue wasn't fixed in the 1.51 :(

are you having the same lockup issue like with 1.4x?

I haven't tried it yet, and in actual fact.. I think I misread toppc's last update. I believe he said it fixes the issue. Looking forward to trying it out! :)

Thanks, toppc! :up:

I just tried 1.5B1 with a 550 and my lock up issues are gone! Ran a 5 pass run of IBT at max and a few minutes of P95 blend just as a quick test. No insta-freeze, so now it's off to try my 720. :)
Thanks toppc!

Awesome! I'll throw this on my GD70 tonight. So am I correct in assuming that the fix was not implemented in the 1.4 final release?

There is no 1.4 final yet. They may just skip 1.4 and release a 1.5

Looks like we've got a winner :up:

Finally my 4th core from my X3 720BE is now stable..!!
Kudos to the person who made the 1.51B BIOS!!!

Now gonna see how far this chip can go...

Thank you for the new BETA. http://prohardver.hu/dl/s/rl.gif

Unfortunately I have some issues with it.

1. It automatically sets the HT to 1600MHz and when I set it manually to 2000MHz then sometimes my system can't boot up (FF on post code disp.). :shrug:

2. When I try to set the NB multiplier from 10x (auto) up to 11x or 12x (etc.) the systems can't start at all, while I can simply clock it up to even 2600MHz with raising the FSB. So I think that the problem is not in my CPU.

Please advise. Thank you.

some one cpu if 3>4 or 2>4 can;t run high HT or NB
you can UP CPU-NB & HT voltage try again

I have Vista 64bit and i can lock up my 550BE to B50 X4, but just before when it´s time to loggin in Windows my computer restart. Why??
I have try to raise CPU, CPU-NB and HT volt, but it will not work.
In Windows XP 32bit it´s work fine but it not stabe yet.

This is my computer:

Maybe you got defect CPU, i mean unlockable but not 100% stable in windows, try lowering HT, CPU-NB or CPU multi maybe it can help. Vista 64bit is more sensitive than 32bit windows for error faulties. ;)

toppc, yesterday prime was running fine with nb/ht@2400/2400. today with the same settings I cant even get it to post (FF), I must set nb/ht to auto to make it work.

many people are having the same issue... are you sure this is not bios related?

any bios for the MSI DKA 790GX PLATINUM?

I've got the same FF post code error. Seems to happen when I shut down the system and then try to boot up again. I've only been able to resolve it by clearing the CMOS and then setting ACC etc in the BIOS again. Hopefully this is just a bug that will be resolved in the next BIOS revision.

Leave HT at 1600 and NB at 2000. Should fix the issue. This seems to be a new issue in 1.51 for unlocked processors. However, I'd gladly take my unlocked overclocked cores over HT overclocking :D

Okay, thanks. I will try to lowering HT, CPU-NB or CPU multi
Or i will try MSI DKA790GX beta bios v.184 if it works better.

yes i found too but you can try keep HT multi at x8 (2000) while you push FSB to 250. At this config isues "FF" code hang at boot is gone.

I would definitely agree with you there! Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a shot tonight. :up:

Well...for some reason my ram wont clock to specs...no reply from OCZ either....baaaah...no idea what to do..

When you do your ram settings. Enable "Both" (as opposed as AUTO, DCT1 or DCT0) and set the timings X-X-X-XX for both as listed on screen.

Not sure if this is the issue you are facing. But this should let you see the configured timings correct in CPUZ.

A lot of Phenom II processors won't run DDR3-1600 speeds, although they will run lower speeds with very tight timings. It may not be the board/RAM, but rather the integrated memory controller holding you back. I can't seem to get my OCZ low voltage kit to run at 1600MHz regardless of the timings, but it'll run 1333MHz at 5-5-6-24. The only thing that may help is to give a large boost to the CPU-NB voltage.

Tried that upto NB of 1.35 but no go...I guess I will just have to live with this. ARe u using the amd platinum ocz kit. if so can u share your timings??
