Hi,
I purchased a Athlon X2 5000 - C2 with the hope of unlocking the cores.
I managed to get it posting with 3 cores after turning one off and ACC set to Hybrid - Auto.
As the multiplier is locked at x11 ive had to resort to using the HT Ref.
Now i managed to get it running fine at 305 which equalled approx 3350Mhz but slowly trying to get to 310 it would blue screen at 308.
Now ive found with this chip it does not like anything above 1800mhz Hypertransport so i ran it at X5 equaling about 1500 and same with the NB in an attempt to take them out of the picture, the ram is 1066mhz Kingston but i set so that it was running around 800mhz with 2.2v (default for 1066mhz)
The CPU is running at 1.36v, i did have it at 1.45 for ocing as AOD does not allow me to increase it.
Does this sound like a limit of the MB? I was running the NB core at 1.2v and left the SB core at 1.1v. PCIx bus should be locked at 100mhz.
So far my final result is:
3.3ghz X3 at 1.36v - Max Temp is 50c.
2400mhz NB at 1.4v (would not go past 1800mhz until bumped from 1.3)
1800mhz hypertransport.
400mhz DDR2 running at CAS4 down from 5.
The MB is a Gigabyte 790x UD3P at F7a bios.
Also found something odd with the RAM multiplier, seems that at 300mhz HT i should be able to get the RAM to run at its proper speed of 1066 give or take but it fails to boot so settled for 800mhz with a lower CAS and timings.
Would love to take this chip further but so far ive hit a wall.
Cheers
