    Check out the CPU score.

    I will post pics later and comparison to E8400.
  • I think ito yung Phenom II X2 550 BE
  • Yup.
  • Paano ba maunlock ang 3rd & 4th cores ng AMD X2 550? Set ko lng ba ung ACC to Auto, may iba pa bang kelangang iconfig? Board ko nga pala is Redfox TA790GXB A2+
  • sir can you post the result also if yung dalawang cores lang gagamitin..para ma compare natin ang result.. lock and after unlock..ty
  • Sorry, at medyo naging busy last week.

    @cool_yaga, Redfox is BIOSTAR, lahat ng link e BIOSTAR ang photo. Kaya kung may option na ACC sa BIOS, set mo lang sa AUTO.

    @cold_feet, anong benchie ang gusto mo i-post ko?
  • nice, I have the same proc but can't unlock it with my board, hopefully a bios update will fix it. :D
  • eto yung sinasabi sa AMD thread. Once na unlock mo - on the way ka na sa 4 cores. :-)
  • @Polgas

    Anong board mo? Best bang for the buck ang procie na 'to IMHO.
  • I am using foxconn A79A-S. Search the net, the bios is within AMD standard daw, kaya kahit may ACC sya hindi ma-unlock yung dalawang cores. Anyway was able to OC it stable at 3.9GHZ I am aiming for 4GHZ, thru some tweaking.
  • what other mobos could unlock the proc? velly intelesting!
  • intereting! magkano naman ang AMD X2 550 Black Edition? ano mobo maka unlock nito?

    Nandyan ang mga boards na nakapag-unlock. Bili ko yata is <$120 CAD, which is cheap for a quad (kuno).
  • meron bang mATX na mobo? ayaw ko magpalit casing dadami gastos
    he he he!
  • Saan ba sa pinas may asrock or biostar 790gx with 750 southbridge based na board?
    Lahat ng distro nagtanung ako puro pang intel or amd 780g lang or nvidia based lang meron.
    Paki pm na lang ako
  • magkano ba yang AMD X2 550 BE? hirap maghanap dito sa TPC.. waahh..
  • ayun nakita ko na.. 6k! lol mura nga!

    @babykoi25
    link naman dyan :)
  • 6k? Alam ko nasa 4+k lang dapat yan.
    Kung 6k yan mas mabuti pang mag x3 720 BE na at 7.5k at least guaranteed 3 cores umaandar na agad.

    same inquiry na rin po...or any motherboard na 790 chipset & 750 SB na DDR2 lang ang mems...




    meron kasi ako nakita, Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P tsaka ECS A790GXM-AD3 kaya lang ang mamahal. tapos DDR3 pa yung memory nung mga board...


    thanks.
  • meron ang gigabyte and msi na 790gx with ddr2 kaso naman ang mahal ng boards nila sa pinas ka bwisit talaga ewn ko bakit yung foxconn meron din kaso ayaw daw nila gawa ng bios to unlock the cores. Ewan din bakit yung mga asrock distributors wont take advantage ng niche sa market.

    Slight change with the Vcore, stable.

    Meron na akong link from XS kung aling boards ang capable mag-unlock. Mahal kung 6K Pesos ang procie na 'to.

    Kung ma-try ninyo Redfox (BIOSTAR din yan) para ma-verify kung mag-unlock.

  • anong mobo ang pwede? lahat ba ng nasa market pwede iunlock?
  • anong mobo ang pwede? lahat ba ng nasa market pwede iunlock?


    Hindi lahat ng mobo pwede mag-unlock kahit may ACC option. Depende rin sa chip. Check mo and thread sa XS dahil marami doon naka unlock.

    +1

    add to that depende rin sa bios version
  • add to that depende rin sa bios version


    TRUE that. Thanks, HG, for reminding.

    One good example is my board, BIOSTAR 790GX 128M. Meron bagong BIOS pero hindi pwede mag-unlock ng TRI or DUAL cores, kaya gamit ng masa e yung Jan 2009 BIOS.
  • meron kayang mobo na ganito pero mATX?
  • meron ...

    yung biostar na XE edition... kaso wala locally

    meron rin yung asrock na 790gx matx...kaso wala locally

    meorn rin J&W...kaso wala rin locally...

    meron pang DFI lanparty... meron rito... kaso bihira at by order...

    pero abangan nyo baka may good news na parating...

    yung emaxx 780G na pro+ edition... matx siya tapos 750 na yung sb nya...

    yugn ata yung red yung ram slots...

    kaso balita ko as of now di pa raw nakaka unlock yung current bios nya... the good thing is under development na yung unlocking bios nya... kaya wait na lang...
  • hinde lahat ng phenom x2 550 ay pwedeng e unlock yong 2 cores..here are the list of stepping na malaki ang chance na ma unlock yong 2 cores.
