With M3a32 mvp can I unlock core on Dual or triple core?

**QuietIce** · 04-27-2010, 04:04 AM

I believe you need the SB 750 or SB710 to unlock cores. The M3A32 has the SB600 ...

What is that for and what is the other end of the blue wire hooked to ...?

It's probably for increasing Vcore over maximum available in Bios for this board.

other end of blue wire (as pic shows ) is connected through a 50kΩ resistor to Ground.

Doh! Didn't look close enough at the quiggles down there!

I figured it exceeded the board max vCore but, face it, that would only be good for extreme cooling. I run water with some of mine and won't go over 1.55v even with that. I'm just chicken! LOL!

**felix_w** · 04-30-2010, 04:06 AM

Link says that for air cooling resistor should be 100kΩ. Obviously this mod should be for xtreme cooling or very brave ones...

**Maduk** · 04-30-2010, 07:04 AM

It must be soldered a trimmer 50 ~ 100kOhm connect to ground on the blue wire,
This assembly is turning over 1.70v Vcore max to 2v

If u want test a processor under ln2 or cascade cooling you can make it

No bios for x6 phenom?

**QuietIce** · 05-02-2010, 01:54 AM

Not yet. ASUS hasn't gotten around to doing any of the M3 boards, AFAIK ...

Crosshair III Formula is 6 core ready... same series of motherboard (790fx)

**QuietIce** · 05-02-2010, 07:52 AM

Not all 790FX boards are the same ASUS series. ASUS has boards that are M3A series (AM2+) and boards that are M4A series (AM3) - both series have 790GX and 790FX chipsets. All the M4A boards I've looked at are now updated, the M3As are not updated as yet. The Crosshair III, being an AM3 board, is not the same series as M3A, which is an AM2+ board ...

What's the max fsb on M3A32 mvp?

**QuietIce** · 05-03-2010, 02:00 PM

Don't really know - never felt the need to test it. My board will go at least 260 'cause I've had it up that high but there was no reason to go farther. Once you get your RAM that close to 533 MHz using a 400 MHz RAM setting it's easier to change the setting and other multipliers than it is to continue increasing the clock ...
