msi 790 fx-gd70 thread

Thanks all for the answers. I now have 1.44 bios but it did not unlock my X3 720BE? There is a new to me choice in the Bios... 'EC' above ACC? 'Disabled' or 'Special' choices? I tried Special and ACC enabled and locked up. I guess I either have an non-unlockable CPU or do not know what combination to use, ie: EC 'special' and ACC per core? Any further advise is appreciated. Plus I might just have a CPU that is not unlockable? With 1.3 and ACC on with all core at '0' I almost booted, one time? With 1.44 and just ACC 'All Cores" I boot fine but 3 cores. I am just curious if I can obtain 4 cores. I know I bought a 3 core and like it a lot, so 4 cores is no big deal to me, but if I could...? Thanks again.

u should set ec firmware to "special" and acc to "auto".
then it should boot, when ur 720 is unlockable.

@hsn
changes in 1.4b5 are:
- Remove "70°C" from "CPU Smart Fan Target"
- Fix AMD Sempron(tm) 140 boot string incorrect
- Remove "Power Button Function" item

so nothing really different.
