That is almost like the issue I was having except my computer would boot into Windows, only CPU-Z showed just 3 cores still. I did see the X4 20 for the processor model at POST screen.

I need the 78DEA113 BIOS for my Biostar TA790GX 128M v5.3. Does anybody have it or know where I can download it. I just want the official original BIOS, not a modded one or anything. I want to try unlocking my new Phenom II 550s.

I suggest you go to the MSI website, and download the newest bios for your motherboard. You can also check out this thread for MSI bios discussions.

They seem to have removed it from the official website. Thankfully, RebelsHaven keeps backups of all bioses available.

Thanks very much. I bought seven Phenom II 550s off eBay. Two unlocked and booted to windows, two unlocked and posted but would BSOD before windows booted, and three wouldn't unlock at all (wouldn't post with ACC on auto). I'll be keeping the two that unlocked and booted to windows, but selling the other five on here soon. So keep an eye out. I'll probably be testing and overclocking them for a couple of days first though.

Hi guys, mine phenom 720 success unlock core on msi dka790gx paltinum with bios v1.9b2

Any changes on the M4A78-E mobo?

It's pretty messed up that they released the unleashing mode, even though it was more unfinished than finished! They could've at least released a fix so that we could boot as quad with unlocked x2 550's. My x2 550 works great as x4 550, I've done stress tests a.s.o and it's stable as a quad processor. But if I wanna keep it as a quad I have to set it up every fkn time I turn my comp on. And that's just LAME BULLCRAP!

Raxen, you don't happen to know a solution to us M4A78-E users? I know you have that mobo too, at least you had one of those. Do/did you run your comps as x2/x3 all the time?

I don't feel like buying a new mobo only 'cuz ASUS are ASSES

EDIT: I'm so sorry man. I totally forgot to read the first page again. Gonna try the new update from ASUS, but I'll leave my previous comment to show you all how braindead newly awakened people can be! :>
Thanks again!

EDIT2: Working even after reboot!!

Anyone happens to know why it shows 200/500 on my GPU when it's 750/950?

Just received my Phenom II 545 today along with an SB710/ACC-equipped Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H mobo. Will keep you guys posted on how the unlocking attempts pan out.

Your GPU is idling, it only cranks up to full speed when it needs to. My 4830 idles somewhere around 160MHz.
