the 602 BIOS was out before the Phenom II's, so they couldn't exactly tune it for them. i don't know exactly what they did to make it work better, but every little bit helps.

Good to know. I'll give that a shot and see if 4.0 is possible tonight. Thanks.

Did that on Friday before I even dropped the 940 in, my media box has a X2 5000 B.E. in it so I just used it to boot it up and update from 604 to 703. Got a new problem however, the bracket that Thermalright said would allow me to mount my TRUE vert came in this afternoon, it however DOESN'T do what they said it would, there is no way to twist the TRUE 90 degrees without damaging the heatpipes, as a matter of fact I already damaged 1 on each side. I dropped the stock cooler back on it for now and I'll order a Noctua from NewEgg tomorrow, at least I KNOW it has a proven vert mount for AM2+ sockets.

As much as I loved this TRUE on my 775, I'm beginning to become disappointed with Thermalright.
