AMD officialy banned Core unlocking on 890 chipsets!

[Trouffman]

if i get it right, if you don't link the 7 pins from southbridge to the Socket, there's no way to activate ACC after...

Gonna ask some sources about that ^^

[i found nemo]

Sounds like they simply removed ACC. Since it isn't really all that useful for cores 800-series chipsets are for, it makes sense to drop it as an unneeded legacy feature. Saying AMD is removing it for the sake of disabling the core unlocking hobby is painting motive where we don't yet have cause to make such accusations.

true, but. amd would make more money if ppl bought quads as opposed to x3's or x2's

[Nedjo]

If Asus can do this, this means the functionality is still in the southbridge, and that means it's only a matter of time before every board maker has the functionality implemented again.

sadly people think that ASUS has pulled this out of the thin air with just a magic flip of the switch!

Can someone explain to me how did Obermeister regain such credibility so that everyone unquestionable believe him??

He didn't. His history shows empirical lying for the purposes of gaining atention.

Any time he gained a legit source of information, he would whore out on it as much as he could. Regardless of the subject matter.

You can see this by his second post in this thread. First by proclaiming himself as god and secondly by stating no one should care about AMD's chipsets ...after creating the thread on the subject.

The boy is a troll and a child.

I dont need anything, i am a GOD of Everything NDA for this needless chipset lifts is in two days, but of course i know - who care about AMD CPU/chipsets product today ... ? nobody ...

More like a goddess of nothing

[chew*]

Every board with AMD 890GX are without ACC (cause SB850), AMD officialy prohibited unlock functions in BIOS. Only Asus board have this feature, little switch ...

Lets rephrase that, AMD removed ACC.......as it was never needed with nor designed to work with phenom II as i stated many times over.

Yep that little switch is the only way you can unlock cores

so this was the reason you were still on my ignore list. still trying to appear clever by pretending you know something that we don't.

[lkiller123]

BS for AMD. What happens if the boardmakers ignore AMD? Stop selling chips to them?

Won't this make AMD lose more money on the other hand?

Hahahahah....good to see an onboard switch like this

[Royalk]

Maybe we can see core temps correctly in everest after unlocking cores with this switch

[massman]

Hasn't it always been like this? Intel/AMD gives guidelines and board vendors figure out stuff on their own. tRD, RTL, B2B, QPI multipliers ... the list is sooo long.

you forgot one MRL

I can already do this with my MSI 790FX-GD70

[sxs112]

Source?

ASUS Use Turbo EVO unlocker core

[The Nemesis]

Yep that little switch is the only way you can unlock cores

"No, there is another"

[chew*]

"No, there is another"

It was total sarcasm

AMD didn't ban anything, all they did was get rid of ACC support which Ph II never really supported anyway.

Really what unlocks chips is old microcode, I implore anyone to try this, run 1m with out unlock then unlock and run 1m.

You will see its slower unlocked by about 2/10ths of a second, why because you are using older cpu microcode.

ACC was just the way it was implemented before but does not mean it can't be applied without acc.

[M3T4LM4N222]

Are you sure, the 890GX Gigabyte board says its supports ACC, and so does the MSI 890FX-GD70

[Dumo]

No ACC on Gigabyte 890GPA with F2 and F3 bioses

[M3T4LM4N222]

No ACC on Gigabyte 890GPA

Features 128MB DDR3 1333 sideport memory support, ACC support

Took right from newegg

[96redformula]

No ACC = no buy from many enthusiasts hoping to get an unlucky unlock, like me (555 unlocked)

AMD Official Response to Core Unlocking &
ASUS Unlock Switch

-----"That feature is not supported by AMD"-------

I framed it just to make it look more official.

but, sometimes, its nice bonus for users

Thank God for Asrock, nice and easy...

Cebit 2010: The UCC chip simplifies the process


ASRock, the more affordable face of Asus has prepared a nice treat that will surely prove to be a hit with those that are running on tighter budgets. The treat comes under the name UCC chip – an acronym for Unlock CPU Core and, as the name suggests, it is used to turn your AMD triple core CPUs into full fledged quad cores saving you some nice cash in the process.

The guys have been kind enough to show us the procedure, which is extremely simple, thanks to the UCC chip. All you have to do is enter BIOS upon booting your computer and hit enter on one of the options, and you’ve got yourself a quad.

We’ve been told that this chip will find its way to entry level boards as well, which means you can get a decent quad core setup for much less money. Furthermore, the chip reportedly runs just fine with Nvidia chipsets and the N68-S3 board you see will soon get a version with a –UCC moniker which will naturally come with the UCC chip.

We've taken a few shots showing the "triple core" happily running with four cores. The motherboard in question is based on AMD's latest offering, 890GX chipset and the CPU is Phenom II X3 720.

Checked Asrock motherboard. it looks even better than Asus GX maybe direct competitor to Biostar :p

[PatRaceTin]

Why AMD hide acc function in new SB?????

i remember last year they says core & cache unlocking is user benefit!!!!
