That should have locked the cores.

Wahrheitoderpflicht, speaking of low voltage cmos batteries have you checked yours? Make sure it's at least 3.0+ volts. I typically use a multimeter when checking the voltage. If you have another spare battery try swapping it out.

Let us know



Axxess+, that is correct

Good luck
Yea you wouldnt think that having a low battery would cause so many problems

If you want to be guaranteed the unlock just buy a 940 to begin with. It's a gamble.

The best chances were when they first released. I bought mine on newegg a week after launch and it unlocked and I read everyone on newegg said they did too.

The later batches don't unlock as much but you could always take a gamble.

I would say you don't have a better chance getting it here..... Like the other person said... better chance when the chip first comes on the market..... then the chance goes down...

I got mine in the first week, too 8[. I just suck at luck.

Unless I'm doing something wrong when trying to unlock, but I'm pretty sure I'm not.

Quick update on my temp problem, after a bit of looking at the settings I realised Speedfan was reporting CPU temps as GPU temps! I think the actual temps of the CPU are either Temp 2 or Temp 3 in speed fan in which case everything appears OK. I will try to OC now. Does anyone know of any other good temperature monitoring software?
Again thanks for all the help.
