X2 550 Unlocking & Overclocking Consolidated

[shadow_419]

For a $5 difference I'd try picking my own unless getting to you're local fry's is a hassle.

[BrokenWall]

Its an hour drive to my local Fry's but we will be up that way later this week.

[shadow_419]

If you're assured you can choose the one you want, I'd take my chances at fry's and wait.

[luismenendez]

with stock i've got 3.5ghz rock stable with 1.38v, but i cant measure the temp,maybe around 55c..

Using speedfan the third temp is the cpu. It works on my Bio TA790G (also unlocked to 4 cores)

[BrokenWall]

I went to Fry's (and was allowed to pick the batch and week i wanted) but all they had was:

CACYC AC 0923EPMW

I will test it tonight after work and see if it unlocks in my MA790X-UD4P

I havnt seen one of those yet... Mostly 0922 has been highest in my Area ATm ,,when looking for a few friends.


NOTE; EPmw's seem to have good unlock rate.. keeping finger crossed for ya,, you have the first 0923 on the list.

[BrokenWall]

I know i figured i could take a hit for the good of XS. The CPU makes it yay, if not drop it in my wife's pc and beg her to let me buy another one from newegg.

*edit* I did a google search for "0923EPMW" and "0923 EPMW" and was unable to find anything at all about this CPU.

*edit*
I might need to look into why it wont stay stable. I have gave it 1.4v and it will boot into Windows and run basic apps for awhile but any heavy tests like 3Dmark cause it to blue screen. Memory is running at SPD timings for 1066 and 2.0v

You probably need to give it a little more Vcore man.. If you have decent cooling 1.5v should be reasonable...

Gratz on the unlockable chip, I'm sure you can tune it up with a little practice..

Found the bug. It crashed while in Dual core mode at stock. So i backed my 1066 memory back to 800 and the damn thing is stable and made it though 3D06 with no problems as a quad at 1.35v So i get to play with my worst area. Memory timings.

[Team Vernia]

Same thing happened to me when dropping from 1600 to 1333. Memory timings are such a pain. Congrats on the unlock though. It feels good doesn't it?

[BrokenWall]

yes it feels like im sticking it to da man

[gOtVoltage]

It should do 3.5/3.6 with Stock CPUvcore(or small +). X4mode

On this Mobo you should Run +200 NBvid .. Even when running STOCK NB.. It hleps with ram a lot ..


Even with mine its unstable past 3.6ghz unless i ADD +100-+200 to NBvid with stock Vcore and NB@ 2000- 2600mhz


So if its buggy with the ram setting to 1066 i can almost ganrentee its the NBvid.

I had tested with Stock cooling before putting it under water. +100nbvid makes abig differance in what it will do with Stock Vcore and Ram.

[BrokenWall]

Yeah I did some testing today. But I haven't had time to really push it. So your saying bump up the NBvid just a bit and try it at 1066? the ram is at stock settings I haven't really tried to push it. I just wanted to make sure all the cores were stable after unlocked.

Yes,, providing your using 1066 ram,, make shure it runs in 1066mhz mode

I have seen some chips not run higher than 900mhz on ram because of IMC or not enuff NBvidvolts.



My 550 will push my ram higher using 800divider vs 1066divider .

When im above 3900mhz it dosnt like Ram@1175mhz ram while Ocing with 1066divider but works fine on the 800 divider @ 1175mhz..when im raising the HTT.

just tweak it one step at a time.

[BrokenWall]

Im going to push the CPU and then find what it can do then worry about the memory last.

[wikiwiki1966]

I got mine 0924FPMW, no idea yet how will work, have to wait to return to my home to test it.

Will try on a M3A79-T deluxe with 0803 bios

Anyone having issues with the MSI 790FX-GD70 should give the 1.51 beta a try. Check out this thread

Hey guys !!!

i have the choice between 2 motherboards : Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-UD4H or DFI LANPARTY JR 790GX-M2RS

which is the best for overclocking and unlockung Phenom2 720BE and 550BE ?

i have an Asus M4A78-E but i find this motherboard is very crapy for unlocking cores or overclocking. I cannot unlock my 720BE and the 550BE. The step of the 720BE is 0904DPMW and the 550BE is 0919EPMW. I tried the 0082 bios and the last 1204 without chance.

(sorry for my poor english)

[zelos]

je prendrai la gigabytes sans hésiter, le débloquage des cores a été éprouvé dessus
Par contre le 550be pas sur qu'il soit délockable , sur ce stepping ya eu des échecs, j'en ai eu un aussi .

Allow me translate that into Australian so the rest of us can understand.

G'day, Zelos here. Friggin 550 on Gigabyte wont unlock, what a ripoff. Stepping is a failure.

Am I close?

[mk-ultra]

what about that

I'd take the Gigabyte without hesitation, unlocking have been proven to work on them.
But i'm not sure the 550be can be unlocked, there's been failures on this stepping, even I, had problem with it.

It would help if you can post your stepping
