Modded TA790GX A3+ Bios X2/X3 @ X4 :D

Well, i got a good X2 550 with capacity to run 4 cores ,but Ive tried to unlock the "extra" cores on TA790GX A3+ but it seems impossible
so I asked for a friend of mine a great bios developer to make a magical bios for TA790GX A3+ and......
He did :D

i will show you exactly how you can do the same.
the first ever step-by-step is how to get the modded bios
grab this file here
http://www.4shared.com/file/11588524.../78DAA616.html

Set your system back to stock prior to flashing and after updating bios to the new one you just need to follow this steps ,under the CPU Tuning option
HT link @ 1.6GHz
ACC @ all cores
Value(all cores) @ -2%

http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/7...biosscreen.jpg

you must set the HT link @ 1.6GHz, if you don't, you'll see unexpected results :(

And its work of course :D

Congrats on the nice unlock, seems I am one of a small group that can't unlock theirs.

You should have your friend mod a bios for the TA790GX XE :up:

Ive tried too many bioses but without any luck

Edit : got it working now ! thanks alot dude http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=599864

PcCI2iminal: I would be so grateful if he could do a BIOS for the TA790GX XE, just like Tom128 asked.

I also have the TA790GX XE and it unlocks my 550BE but I can't boot into windows. I can only boot into the BIOS.

-My new mobo has bios from Jan 09 so unlocked only activating ACC. All the rest settings default as I am still to understand this bios :confused:

By the way, its a TA790G 128M so not the same that the one in this thread (sorry, didn't realise before)

-what is this thing below ACC 'value all cores' for?

cheers

setting it to Auto means setting it to +2% on all cores

values over +6% are recommended once higher voltages are used (1.5v CPU VID and higher)

negative values should allow for lower operating voltages at stock

different CPUs like different values, so you'll have to fiddle a bit, simply leaving it on Auto may not always be optimal

well ,the modification is not guaranteed for all chips,you must be sure if your chip can handle the mod or no

i have two X2 550 ,one of them is good for X4 and the other runs only two cores :(

Yahoo ! will try this as soon as i get back home !! Will report back :) thanks a ton!

Thanks for info, I will try it

it works thanks !!! http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=604068

how stable is this mod? Can I unlock pii X3 720 with this? I tried ACC auto mode but: Fail :-(

Update: I tried your Bios Update: It doesn´t work :-( :-( ......Now my mobo is a simple Stone :S

How can I reinstall old Bios firmware? or I must go to RMA?

Rename old BIOS file to "AMIBOOT.ROM" and put it on a pendrive. Insert pendrive into USB port and turn on computer.
Now you need to wait 40-50 seconds before BIOS recover starts.
If nothing will happen, you need to send your board to RMA.

Direct from your Manual,,

To make it easy have a USB already to run (formatted as a USB drive)
or use a floppy Disk (download and install BIOS to what ever one you choose and Press F12 at Boot up .





C. BIO-Flasher
BIO-Flasher is a BIOS flashing utility providing you an easy and simple way to
update your BIOS via USB pen drive or floppy disk.
The BIO-Flasher is built in the BIOS chip. To enter the utility, press <F12>
during the Power-On Self Tests (POST) procedure while booting up.
Updating BIOS with BIO-Flasher
1. Go to the website to download the latest BIOS file for the motherboard.
2. Then, save the BIOS file into a USB pen drive or a floppy disk.
3. Insert the USB pen drive or the floppy disk that contains the BIOS file to the
USB port or the floppy disk drive.

4. Power on or reset the computer and then
press <F12> during the POST process.
A select dialog as the picture on the right
appears.
Select the device contains the BIOS file and
press <Enter> to enter the utility.

5. The utility will show the BIOS
files and their respective
information. Select the proper
BIOS file and press <Enter>
then <Y> to perform the BIOS
update process.

6. After the update process, the utility will ask you to reboot the system.
Press <Y> to proceed. BIOS update completes.

Hope that helps ya:up:

thanks dude! ( my mate Johncross will really make use of this data). Thanks again! We will provide ASAP we tweak it :)

Duh: I think I will go to mother solution man, $30 bucks and problem solved (8U$s)...I hope so... with RMA is too much time (72 hs) man...


I should have buyed gigabyte with dual bios...nor do I?

gOtVoltage, I tried a lot of times this :-( .. thanks anyway

Does Anyone know Eeprom model for this mobo?

I can´t see it thanks a sticker http://www.twitpic.com/b4r0l

My idea is reflash myself in future with a eeprom programator.

Tomorrow I will send to RMA

What flasher should i use to flash moded BIOS?
I downloaded AFUDOS4.23 from RebelsHaven BIOS page site... Should i use this one? or something else???

When i downloaded moded BIOS with name TA790GX_A3+_(R1) in BIOS folder exist 78DAA629.xxx with strange extension C..?
Should i change extension into ...ROM when flasihg with AFUDOS...???

So confused...

HELP!!!

zorz, I noticed that bios come from Rebelshaven and then I saw Afudos4.23.

then I thought about latest bios which I updated with Biostar's flash. So I wonder if it is same or I should use Afudos because newest modified bios file seem contain another file name than usual one from biostar.

.cet bios file is safe to be flashed using t-series bios update a.k.a windows flasher. :)

Hi PcCI2iminal! Finally the wait-for-moderator-period has passed~ :D
I have TA790GXE_128M and tried the corresponding R1 BIOS. It cannot be used to unlock the hidden cores of my 550BE. So I have to fall back to the 0617 hacked BIOS I found in China bboard. That BIOS does really able to unlock hidden core but it has few limitations also:

1) HT Link must be 1.6G
2) Seems some of the multiplier cannot be used
3) Cannot disable on-board display card to take system RAM. I can only set it to the minimal 32M.
4) Seems its PAE has issue. I have 32bit WinXP so I allocated those un-recognized RAM to be a RAMDisk. But when there is a lot of RAMDisk R/W, the on-board display may have error.
(e.g., I use winrar to compress a file on ramdisk, which should be CPU intensive task only. but GPU/VPU error :down: as follow
http://bbs.ocer.net/viewthread.php?tid=301206 )

New bios for this board was just out. What a shame it still doesn't support unlock core :shrug:
http://www.biostar-usa.com/app/en-us...s.php?S_ID=408

Can you help on this? Thanks man! :up:

Hi guys!! I tried with PcCI2iminal bios on my ta790gx a3+ and i couldn´t unlock the 4 cores in my phenom 550. I set ht link speed 1.6, acc in all core and -2% and nothing (i tried to set auto too). Please if someone knows other alternative, tell me !! My batch is 0925CPMW. I´m using win 7 64bits!! THANKS!!

no body?? please help me!!
