Athlon X2 7750 BE Unlocked to Quad-Core

anyone that has a Biostar board have any luck unlocking a 7750
 
I have same like u,790GXB,and 7750,i turn on ACC and nothing...I think that is fake,marketing trick to sell all 65nm in this series...:mad:

The odds of it happening are slim. Doesn't mean it's a fake.
 
When I received my 7750 about a month ago I noticed something strange about it. When I installed and was OC'ing the proc I noticed in the option to "Down Core" I could select 3,2,1. I thought that was pretty strange but never messed with it. Well today @ work I might play around with it, the proc you sucko's:laugh:
 
Well,whatever,ill be happy if that unlocking work,on some bios,some mainboard,or some like that,if anyone know anything,reply fast ...:cool:

Hello .

What's your Hardware system ?

I'm interesting to buy new CPU and looking for 7750 or Phenom II for my AM2+ Mobo.

but... if It's could unlock other cores... Why I have to pay more ?

Thank you. :) and everyone of you here.
 
Blue Dragon, if you want a guaranteed quad-core, go for the quad-core, if you want to experiment without any guarantee you will have a perfectly good 4th core on a tri-core but save some money as well go for the 7750 BE. Bear in mind the work that may have to be done to get the tri-core working as a quad-core may cost near what the quad-core does without having to work on it. This is sort of like how the BE/XE CPUs are, they tend to have the highest clocks, but they are guaranteed to work at those Speeds on Stock Cooling, where it may cost you the same or more on the lower model CPUs due to having to get a motherboard,ram, cpu cooling that allows you to overclock and there is no guarantee you will get the results you are looking for.

The rest is up to you.

Well,Thank you for your kindly reply.

So, I would go to get the 810 for my AX78.

God bless you. :)
 
Well, my 7750 didn't go to quad. This has to be fake.

Just because your didn't unlock, it doesn't mean it's fake. Although I am still skeptical.
 
They probably modded the bios since literally no one else has reported this.. I just wish someone would come out and mod ALL bios to enable these unlocks. I know my chip is unstable with the 4th core enabled, but others are.

has anyone else got theirs to unlock ? I didn't mean to seem that if my can't none will but it just seems odd that no one else can replicate this.

If someone can tell me which module the ACC programming code is in I could possibly do it. Just modded my BIOS today, worked perfectly, in fact it's more stable than the stock BIOS lol.
I just couldn't find where the ACC code is *shrugs*

Last night I purchased an Athlon X2 7750 with an ASRock A780GMH/128M. The ASRock boards are supposed to unlock it. I will report back either on Friday or Monday when I put it together.

I have been an ASUS guy all my life. I bought an ASRock board one time and it was DOA. The reviews have improved so I took a chance.
 
good luck BWG and welcome to TPU
sucks about the board.
btw i know the DOA board WASN'T a Asus but has anyone noticed that the reviews on the egg and places like that Asus has alot of reviews saying they are DOA more then alot of other boards and they even cost more then alot of other boards.not trying to flame asus because they do make some good boards
 
I better fill out my profile. I am in Ohio too. I took a gamble on the board for 20 bucks open box. lol

Yep I have been noticing that. At first it was on most of them using VIA chipsets and now it has spread to all of the boards.

The one I built 5 years ago for my father had an Asus P4C800 Deluxe in it and it just died Saturday. So I am giving him my board and upgrading my computer.
 
So far no luck unlocking the other 2 cores. The ACC module shows all 4 cores. But, only 2 are loaded in device manager. Still shows as a dual core.

I have to admit I am a novice when it comes to using this bios and utility. So, if you have some suggestions of settings to try let me know.
 
I call BS on this. I get the same thing as you, ACC showing 4 cores but Win 7 still sees a dual core. I tried all bios 0502-0703 and same for each of these.

Are there any bios that are older than the one currently on your board?
 
Damn, I updated the bios as soon as I installed it. Now I see the old bios was the trick.

I found this in the bios revision notes:

2. Update CPU code.

I will see if I am lucky enough to find the old version.
 
Posted at the same time lol.
