Hodaguy, did you see this?

Thanks!

Also, would it be too much to get a SS of your bios with the 4.1 setting? I just want to look at how you tweek the CPU NB VID, and how it looks in conjunction with your FSB, HT, CPU v, etc...I seem to be having a rough time with it, and I think maybe I am working in the wrong area.

Thanks!

Also can anyone tell me how to give rep? I have had some great help from various people on here, and I don't know how to give rep lol

I would think you need a different BIOS for you to be able to get into Windows with it unlocked. You could try backing up your current BIOS, and download the Beta, to see if it is your chip or BIOS, and if you end up having stability issues, reflash back to the original BIOS, and just wait for a better one to be released. I have seen a lot of people's chips not work, then a better bios came out and it worked with out a problem.

Good luck!

So I realized I need to do some more research before I try anything. The BIOS still looks like a foreign language to me. I mean, I've used it to do simple things like set primary drives and disable my onboard VGA, but when I go into the CPU stuff, I have no idea what to mess with.

Look at my 3dmark06 score with this amazing cpu! http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=11345590

I think 19,000 may be possible... It's alright if it doesn't, the little $102 CPU already made me jizz in my pants

I've used three BIOS, the ones that came with the board (it didn't support the 550 though), the latest stable, and the beta, I can't get either of them to boot with the cores unlocked. I'll try to go back to the latest stable version though.

It may be your chip then...maybe another bios will be released and you can unlock then...have you tried increasing the cpu vid to see if it would boot?

I'd like to get on there too!

ImmortalKenny

Which one would that be?

CPU NB Vlotage......................:
CPU Clock Ratio.....................:
CPU NB Clock Ratio..................:
HT Link Frequency...................:
CPU VId Special Add mv............:
DRAM Voltage Control..............:
NB HT Voltage.......................:
NB Core Voltage.....................:
NB PCIE Voltage.....................:
SB PLL 1.2V Voltage.................:
Side Port Voltage...................:

That one

If I remember from my DFI board, you could increase the voltage in ultra fine increments, but I would start with a .025 increase and go from there. If you are using the stock cooler, I wouldn't add more than 1.25v total, until you get a better cooling solution.

ImmortalKenny

I'll see if that helps.

EDIT: That option only does +25.0mV to + 775.0mV and -800.0mV to -25.0mV

Have a look at that link above, it talks about overclocking with your board, and while it's not with your chip, you can get an idea from there. I believe that 25mv would be = to .025v no? If so go from there, start with 50mv and then try to boot.

Another option I noticed in the screen shot is this:



Make sure C1E is disabled, and tell me what the 2 other options are in the drop out under ACC (have ACC on Auto for now)

We'll go from there when you post back...
