NEW BIOS SETTING: EC Firmware for ACC

[gOtVoltage]

Actually I just noticed that the newest F2 Bios for the Gigabyte MA790GP-UD4H actually does have 2 visual changes:

1. ACC is now on the normal menu. (No need to use the CTRL-F1)

2. They have added a new BIOS setting called:

EC Firmware for Advanced Clock Calibration.

It can be set to the following:

Normal = Used AMD normal EC Firmware for Advanced Clock Calibration
Hybrid = Used AMD particular EC Firmware for Advanced Clock Calibration


So... what is "AMD particular" as opposed to normal? Anyone have any ideas??

Heres My IDEA
The Firm update ,,Hybrid Unlocks 720's still for enthusiast ?and the Normal Option dosnt allow it .

New Bios both options . Hybrid would be the Unlocking Mode.

720's have caused a new Firmware update by (AMD)to Block ACC from Enabling x4core. AMD wants new Bioses to be updated , but dosnt mind that you have the option for Enthusiast. If your Overclocking and Unlocking your Doing (Hybrid)youll use it . By default it will be in normal Mode>

Some vendors are giving us Both Options now Via Bios update and like yours a Second option in the Firmware of ACC.


Im Not 100% shure if this is the Update For 720 ACC goodness .

If you have a 720 on hand toggle the Option. In (Hybrid) you should be able to unlock it . (Normal) it will stay locked . May be other way around .


.This is a wild guess .

AMD did give out New Firmware code for this and vendors could use ONLY the new update(blocking the X4core surprize),,

Maybe Gigabyte is going for us Enthusiast as it looks like both Options in the New Bios(just in case you like to tweak things ).

Need Tweaker to test theory,,
Anyone have a720 that does unlock with the UD4? If so what happens when you flash to the Above Bios? Can you unlock it still?
