HondaGuy, no problem.

Shoot maybe it's a hit or a miss when monitoring temperatures of the 550BE after unlocking it

I just got mine yesterday, it's also my first AMD CPU (sorry for the noob question). How do you use ACC to unlock the other cores. I've tried setting it to "Auto" and "All Cores" set at -2%. It won't unlock with those two settings, but I feel like I'm missing something. What should I do?

You gotta set something to hybrid in that same sub-menu. I'll give you a more concrete answer in 10 min.

ImmortalKenny, I believe you're on the right track. As far as I know "ACC" is about the only thing that needs to be enabled. Perhaps the unlocking of the disabled cores won't work on this motherboard. Have you confirmed with other JR 790GX-M3H5 users?

Good luck

Odin673, I'm in that same menu and all I see is, AMD C1E Support, ACC, Secure Virtual Machine Mode, AMD Familty 10h Down core and AMD CPU Stepping

That's what I have in mine as well.

As far as other people unlocking cores with my mobo, this guy from XS has fully unlocked a 550.

On my Gigabyte board, I have "EC Firmware Control". I only had this option after I updated the bios. Had to set it to "Hybrid" to unlock.

After doing a google search, it seems people with DFI boards are only getting unlocks on a beta bios that also has lockup issues. It's a Febuary 2009 version.

Ok, I've been toying around with my CPU for a good 30min. now and I can't get it go past the Start Windows Normally or Last Know Configuration screen. After I select Start Windows Normally, I just get a blank black screen, it doesn't BSOD though. I've tried "all cores" and "per core" set to -4%, -2%, 0%, and +2% and it all does the same thing, however right as the computer starts up, it says the Main Processor is a Phenom II X4 B50. The only other thing I've changed is disable Cool and Quiet and set my RAM to DDR3-1600. I have no idea what option is the CPU vcore (as I'm used to Intel), which is probably what I need to adjust. Suggestions?

PS - I am running those Beta BIOS that you showed me odin. I wasn't able to get this far with the latest stable DFI BIOS.

thlk3r,,,, In Everest Ultimate version 5.02.1750 when I click on benchmark, to the far left under Menu at the very bottom. It shows various scores from different platforms I guess.

The Athlon 6400+ is either at the very top of those lists or 1 or 2 under the Core i7. Whenever I do my own benchmark tests it seams that's what I'm competing against, the Athlon X2 6400+ . I get the impression that chip is under rated.

Isn't the Athlon X2 250 a Kuma as well? I see the 6400+ is a windsor. For some reason my 550 shows up as a Regor? not Deneb..

PS.. Thanks again 2 HondaGuy for the kick butt tech support. Anything I can do let me know ok..
