HI,

I've managed to successully unlock my 550.

Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P (F4 Bios)
550 BE - AC098BPMW

ACC - Hybrid/Auto (-2 all cores)

4GB OCZ 1333 Platinum @ 7-7-7-20
Titan Fenrir
Antec 300 with 4 fans

Havent had a chance to stress test properly or overclock as it was getting late last night but will try to have a go tonight. Was sitting at 35c in BIOS when unlocked at standard clock.

I have installed Vista x64 SP2 and GTA4, played that for about 1 1/2 hours as I wanted to test my 4870 as well before I hit the hay, went without a hitch. All looks sound so far but guess I won't know for sure until I stress it.

Will post some screens when I get a chance.

Well my dual core seems to be pretty much a no-go on the quad front. Tried lots of combos with no luck.

0924BPMW - Tom128 - M3A79-T Deluxe - 0300 Mod - Fail
0924BPMW - Tom128 - M3A79-T Deluxe - 0803 - Fail
0924BPMW - Tom128 - M3A79-T Deluxe - 1001 - Fail

0924BPMW - Tom128 - GA-MA770T-UD3P - F2c - Fail
0924BPMW - Tom128 - GA-MA770T-UD3P - F2 - Fail

0924BPMW - Tom128 - TA790GX XE - A78CM113 - Fail
0924BPMW - Tom128 - TA790GX XE - A78CM525 - Fail

It seems to be a good clocker at least. Passed Orthos for a few minutes at 4Ghz on the XE under air. Will try it under water just to see, but will likely trade it with a friend for his 9600BE as it would eventually move into a cruncher and even a poor overclock on the quad would cure more cancer than a dual.

Nice, I replied to your PM as well

Maybe I have crap chips, maybe I'm just a noob

I'm willing to pay shipping both ways (I send chip and pay for postage back) if anyone in the UK fancies trying to unlock my chips (0919EPMW and 0924EPMW)

PM if your interested in taking a few moments of your day to do me a favour!

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: SORRY FOR THE CAPS GUYS BUT...

It turns out my

ing PSU is faulty!!!!! Arghhhh, I have just tried a new Corsair 520W on my AMD rig and my 0924EPMW unlocks!

It wont boot into windows yet, but I've only just started on this! Before I couldn't even get the motherboard to recognize this chip,so for me this is a big step in the right direction, watch this space

Add +100 or 150nbvid.. This helps if the chip has weak IMC.

Make shure your Mobo is using recent Bios F5 and not the factory shipped F2/F2a or F4.

The F4 is buggy with X4core manipulation,, i flashed to F5a with out even using F4,, then i swapped to F5 once that was released.

So please if its buggy with F4 use the F5.

Anyone hear of a CPMW stepping? Going to get the motherboard tomorrow, and I'll see how it goes...

**Mean Machine** · 07-05-2009, 08:32 AM

0913APMW is a no go for me. Overclocks pretty nicely with the two cores, though.

**punk_zappa** · 07-05-2009, 10:15 AM

Is that under LN2, Mean Machine?

In order to test for stability, I'd suggest 10 passes on Intel Burn Test at maximum stress level. If you can pass that a couple(4-5) of hours of Prime95 blend test will tell you if your system is stable enough for just about all general uses. You can test for longer, but I feel comfortable with stability if I can pass Prime95 blend for 5 hours. About the ECS board, I have no idea. If the board has acc options in the bios then maybe it can. Either lend your friend your chip, since you know it to be unlockable, or have him hit up google to search for anyone that may have unlocked with that board.

Very easy, just download latest version. Extract the compressed files and click the .exe . It auto starts the torture test setup box, then click ok.

If you get an error the program tells you or just crashes. Simple way to tell if you're stable if it can run for hours without any errors you're fine

**Maregg** · 07-06-2009, 11:13 AM

Mine unlocked easily first on first try.

Didn't mess much with overclocking. Just pushed the multi to 17.5 for a nice 3.5 Ghz.

It was batch 0922 on a GA-MA770T-UD3P Bios F2.
Stock voltage.

1h Prime95 stable blend torture.

Air cooled xigmatek.
31C idle.
47C load. (might be a bit high I'll purchase a backplate soon).

I'm very happy with the proc and how easy an hassle free it was to unleash it.
