Have a config in mind,suggest something if you have something better in mind.

WHAT? damn. how you know about it? any link? as far as i heard, 890GX or simply 8 series chipset from AMD won't support ACC so basically no unlocking. however board manufacturers are including some features (spell switches) to assist user unlock the hidden cores & L3 caches. easier solution? get any 7 series board that got support for ACC.

i was heartbroken too
and i got all this info from tomshardware.com about a couple of months ago
exactly dont remember which topic was it
however overclkng still perfomable on most 78x,79x boards

Thank goodness that I am taking a 785 board then.
It would help to have a fast quad core at the price of a tri. xDD

BTW does the MSI 785G-E3 support this unlocking of the 4th core/cache/both?

Ok hoi another question.
In some other thread,you people suggested that I use a gigabyte Superb 460W with the 5770 that m abt to buy.
According to gigabyte's official website,the superb 460W has only 18A on the +12V rail. :O
Is that ok??
Or even enough to handle a 5770?

 

[Jripper]

And yes,what about the USB 3.0 problem?? :\
I know that USB 3 isn't going mainstream for a while,but m expecting it to become mainstream in about 1 or 1,5 years.
Is it backward compatible or will I have to change the motherboard again?

 

[rahul.007]

BTW can anyone tell what is the price of a phenom quad core??
Is it compatible with every chipset(i mean the 785 platform)?
Recommend a mobo for a phenom quad core please.

absolutely no problem with amd.... i myself brought it a week before.... working beautifuly....

as for usb 3, it would be backward compatible....(read it somewhere in reviews)....

Thanks.

BTW someone mind answering this:-

Biostar already have added a feature to unlock the hidden cores & caches in their 890GX board but i doubt it'll work without flaws. so better invest in proven tech rather than what i call BETA version or prototypes.

E53 do. no worry about it. all MSI boards do. they are better than Biostar & ECS. Biostar TA785G3 HD too does but individual core unlocking. maybe not. you won't need it. as you will try unlock only 1 core. ACC no. 4 core. ACC off. 3 core. so do consider Biostar if you cross your budget.

for HD5770, you should use something like CX400W or Seasonic 380W or FSP Saga II 500W. Gigabyte 460W or Vip 500 or FSP 400W may not be enough.

later get an addon USB3 + Sata 6Gbps card.

Ok,the amd official website shows that there are 3 proccy's of the X3 series though.
440 @ 3 Ghz @ 4.5-5k
435 @ 2.9 Ghz @ 3.7k(acc to the local vendor)
425 @ 2.7 Ghz @ 3.4k(acc. to local dealer).

Since the local prices are usually lower than the MRP,should I opt for a 440 in lieu of a 435 "IF" it comes within my budget??

I am buying in may and I wanna know all the options I have before barging in and buying.Hence the million questions that I am asking.

Sorry,if all these questions are bothering ya fella's.

BTW @sam,thanks for the post regarding the MSI and Usb 3 query.

get 435. seriously. for price of 440, you getting is X4 620 @ 2.6Ghz. which you can OC just in flick of finger past 3Ghz.

also price usually high. not low. depends on the greedy vendors

well, better clear all questions & doubts. than buying something & it turn out to be not what you wanted.

no problem buddy. just helping u out

---------- Post added at 10:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 PM ----------

ok read this: AMD readies four new Athlons. just know new proccy = price cut on the successors. best example is X4 635. it got introduced, X4 630 plunged in the 4.*k price range (without tax).

 

[Jripper]

Yeah.I hate vendors. >.<

A guy actually showed me DDR3 RAM @ 1333 Mhz for 4.5k!!
:O

hey go for 435 dude
seriously
around 1k for just 100mhz speed
no way

 

[coderunknown]

WTF. was it 2Gb? or 4Gb? i guess its 2gb from your reaction. if so should have laughed at his face.

actually X3 440 based on new stepping. so OC very well, like the new 635. but from a budget point of view. WASTAGE OF HARD EARNED MONEY. who wants pay 1k more just to get a piece of silicon that just OC more. at stock 100Mhz more. seriously, its madness to even think about those chips as it is to get i3.

 

[Jripper]

Lol..yeah I've decided on the 435 for now.

BTW that was 2 GB of RAM.
And yeah,I did laugh at his face.

well done. maybe he have fooled lots of peoples so tried on u2. failed.

 

[happy20b]

you missed something. acc to u:

1st option: 4th core unlocked.
2nd option: 4th core + L3 cache unlocked.

however theres a 3rd option as well.
3rd option: L3 cache unlocked. Phenom II X3. 3 way lottery. 1 is sure shot.

Chance of L3 getting unlocked is very less ryt ? How can i try it with my x4 630 and v-evo MOBO

 

[coderunknown]

very less chance. showever AMD still sells proccys with faulty L3 cache as Athlon II X3 & X4s.

i not sure, but in BIOS u need to search ACC. turn it on. restart pc. so now if your proccy got L3 cache it'll show up in CPUz. if its faulty, you'll get BSOD error or maybe pc won't go into windows.

 

[rahul.007]

you may well try to unlock its l3 cache.... if you are lucky enough it may unlock.... have to do some minute tweaking in voltage.... have to increase it very slowly.... but do it after getting briefed on exactly how to do it....

Hmm AFIR ACC is enabled in my bios ( Ryt now i am in office ) , and CPUZ doesnt show any enabled L3 C .. and i have never got such errors .. I think ACC will be enabled by default in bios ..

 

[rahul.007]

sorry man.... your athlon is not having any faulty l3 cache....

 

[coderunknown]

yours is a 100% pure Athlon II X4 proccy. without any defects or so. congrats.

BTW regarding the unlocking thing.
I know overclocking voids the warranty of a product.
Does this unlocking void warranty as well??

BTW how is the coolermaster GX 550W as a power supply??The digit review says it can pull dual GPU setups.
Just wanted to know(even though I won't be buying it)

---------- Post added at 10:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 PM ----------

And yes,err....I am a noob to overclocking.SO how exactly do I unlock the 4th core/L3 cache/both??

---------- Post added at 10:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 PM ----------

And oh yeah,I often download stuff at night,so the computer stays on almost on all nights.
Is there any way to turn off the GPU(5770 in this case)??
Otherwise all the power it will consume will go to waste and increase the damned electricity bills.:\
