That's insane Vocoder! I wonder what the odds were that you got all 4 cores unlocked. Do you think the odds would have been better with the X3 720 since it only needs 1 core unlocked?

Also, Did you need a windows 98 start-up disc to flash the Bios? If not, do you mind saying what process you used to do it? I think I'm as happy as you are that it worked out for you :lol:

thanks m8

First, download Gigabyte utility called atBios. And download F5 bios for this board (GA-MA790X-UD4P) from their site. Boot into Windows. Unpack the F5 Bios exe file and extract bios on the desktop. Later on start the atBios program and point it to the newly extracted bios on your desktop. And just wait for process to finish. After it's done simply restart your computer and there you go
