Hi guys,

I recently bought an amd phenom II 555 black edition and an asus M4A785D-M PRO motherboard hoping to unlock the cpu from 2 cores to 4 if lucky.

So far ive had no success and was thinking i may be one of the unlucky handful who have a dud cpu.

But, after installing CPUZ it is showing that the southbridge is 700 and not 710 which the motherbourd is supposed to be.

Is it possible i have been sold a dodgy motherboard or is CPUZ likely to be wrong?
Thanks in advance.

CPUz is wrong, same goes for me. SB710, CPUz reports it as 700

All 785 chipset uses 710 SB chip.

Thanks Guys.

I must be one of the unlucky ones then. I shall have a look round for a true quad core and buy one. Perhaps i should have done that in the first place.

That's why I got a tri-core. Even if it doesn't unlock, you end up with 3 cores, which is more than enough

+The OC is amazing..

Ok. To make sure it is a SB710. Look in the bios for ACC.
