msi 790 fx-gd70 thread

Ever since 1.51, I believe unlocking cores is fixed. You just needed to run HT/NB at 1600/2000 thats all. If you've never unlocked your 720BE before, then no one can really tell you for sure if you have a good 720 or if its because you set something wrong in the bios.

In my case I had unlocked my 720 on another brand mobo before, so I knew for sure the 1.4x bios were the culprit and not my processor. With 1.51 I am on 4 cores at 3.4ghz stable 24/7.

Well on 1.4b2 i failed to boot when i tried unlocking, so if it fails now i'll just throw this on ebay and get myself a Phenom II x4 965BE or something cause this have only been able to reach 3,7GHz @ 3 cores and 1.502v and that's with 1.5v. Like one of the first 720BE to be released and I knew that this particular one didn't OC well but I thaught I could do it better then the guy before me anyways so i traded him for my 550BE

Gonna try 1.5b3 tomorrow and hopefully I get an extra core :P
