So my mobo have a updated bios version but is not recent bios is a version 1103, i allrady downloaded the last one is 1503, my mobo is ASUS M5A78L-M/USB 3.0 and the thing is that my CPU is not runing at stock speeds like 3.5 but is running at 3.817 Ghz, and i wondering if this is just becaus of this bios update 1103 ?

Oh and i also did instaled the correction Hotfix for windows 7 sp1 64 for my new FX 6300, some guy told me that i have to instal but my cpu is not an Bulldozer is an new arquitecture cpu difrent from bulldozer is a Piledriver Vishera, and i dno if is good instaling this hotfix ? i did instaled but i allrady unistaled them caus i didn't saw any diference at cors :/

Pls guys help

oh and also in GPU Z don't show real name of cpu :eek:

Make sure the bios is set to defaults, it could have some type of auto OC enabled.

Turn core performance boost off in bios and it will stop its not an issue tho unless your overheating.
Its a feature of the FX series.

StanMen · Jan 10, 2013

so this is what is show on CPU-Z :/ way ??

erocker · Jan 10, 2013

Use a newer version of CPU-Z. Make sure your bios supports your CPU.

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Jan 11, 2013

Yeah get the newest version of cpu-z as it supports piledriver and that should clear up the naming. Also you should always clear your bios after an update. Did you clear it when you went from the x4 to the FX? If not that is you oc problem as it is using the peramiters you set for the x4 chip.

OneMoar · Jan 11, 2013

if its stable then its fine else set the core multiplier to 17.5 and that should put it back at 3.5

What most likely happened is that you have not updated your bios before you install the CPU and the bios mistaken the chip as an FX-6200 which is clocked at 3.8Ghz.
Yes you should also install the Windows 7 patch for bulldozer as well. The Piledriver is just an enhanced Bulldozer.
Also just update that CPU-Z.

prity happy with this machine, and now i'm thinking in instal a real water cooling i want to buy a water cooling for gpu and cpu, dno what do you recomend me for WC ?

Thanks all for help ! oh and any one have this BIOS 1503 i just want to know if it good ?

hey bud! yhaa i just did a config for bios wen i 1st started pc, then i did default settings and set my custom OC and for now is working with no problems

i just dn't understand way before i can see the option of press f4 to unlock your cores wen i started pc, now i updated my bios to 1503 and now wen i start pc there is no more that option ? :/ may be i have to reset my bios like clear it ?

The unlock core function is for tricore Athlon II and Phenom II.

But wen i got my Phenom II x4 960t its not an tricore cpu but yes quad core cpu :eek:

or even beter is an six core cpu but locked to 4 cores, i'm right ?

thanks bud for your replay

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Jan 14, 2013

The unlock feature is for various x2, x3, and the 960t.

Yes same idea.
It does absolutely nothing for the FX line just leave it off.
