just on bios acc -> auto

Reply to genaii

acc = auto -> 4core

acc = disabled -> 3core

Reply to genaii

it was unable on ASUS's 790gx sb750 board, also OPN-0849...it's not falses.

photoshop rules.

So they photo shoped the BIOS screen, cpuz window, prime 95 window, and task manager window?

Although it is odd cpuz list it as a AM2+....when the chip is really an AM3. We need somebody who actually owns a P2 X3 to check CPUz to see if its just wrongly listing it as AM2+

First of all, excuse me for my poor English.

IT IS NOT FAKE AT ALL.

According to some Korean hardware sites, Phenom II x3 710 and 720BE with 0904xxxx stepping can be transformed to Phenom II X4.
(0849xxxx steppings seemed to not work, and other steppings are not imported in Korea, so no idea for other steppings.)

It needs following conditions.

1. working with 790gx&sb750-based boards.(Asrock and Biostar boards are confirmed. Asus seemed to not work)

2. ACC option in BIOS set to per core or auto

Dont be a smart ass. Infact youre the only person that would actually go through the "trouble" of photoshopping some CPUz screens to make a tri into a quad.

Just because you dont WANT to believe something dosent mean you need to start spouting "FAKEZZ LULZ". Give it a chance, dont be afraid that it can 1up your E8500.

These X3's were/are suposedly X4's with the 4th core disabled due to errors I thought. Even if you can enable that 4th core, youre bound to run across a crash/BSOD/error eventually.

It seemed to work flawlessly as quad core. It is a up and coming issue in Korean hardware sites.

I don't think you can understand Korean, but check out this

http://playwares.com/xe/?document_srl=2233323

At least you can see some charts.

http://image.playwares.com/bbs/dat [...] f1d93f.jpg
This shows that prime 95 works flawlessly with 4 cores.

These even show the difference of power consumption after transforming.

PhenomII 710 & 720BE with only 0904
ACC support mainboard (Asrock 790GX & Biostar 790GX OK, But Asus M3A78-T NO. Other AM2+ AM3 mainboard are not confirm until now)

Many people Buyed 0904 PhenomII 710&720BE, and maybe our seeing result on today...... or tomorrow.

Reply to choggd

None of this explains CPUZ reading it as AM2+ however.

According to the website, the author introduces the history of this accidental discovery.

When the first discoverer found it, most people thought his machine had some inexplainable problems. Indeed, he was not able to run 3DMark06 even though Prime95 worked fine with 4 cores. Furthermore, noone knew how to enable the dead core at the time. Nevertheless some geeks continuously tried to find the exact way to revive the core, and they finally seemed to make it by turning on Advanced Clock Calibration = AUTO.

Unfortunately, not all X3 products are possible to be transformed into X4 according to reports from parkoz website. I think only the CPUs that were produced in 2009 4th week (0904DPDW) seem to work well. However, we still need more information and reports to conclude.

This thread was linked on the korean site I saw. So its either a swarm of their posters here to back up the claims, or the same guy.

I like how the only "people" confirming this have the same writing style as the OP and have only posted in this thread. And they spam "thumbs down" on anybody that disagrees.

Probably BS, or maybe a fluke processor. ACC should have no effect on the number of cores.

its the same guy unless everyone in korea owns a 3 core phenom. like i said before and i will say it again:

someone from toms needs to confirm this.

and btw to the post above:
nice copy + paste of the same cpu usage. quad are 8 core processors with a simple photoshop huh? funny how i NEVER have the same core usage on my DUAL CORE unless its peaked yet you have 8 perfectly symmetrical cores working at the same loads at the same exact time.

damn... i need to work for mythbusters.

yeah that's what i said about 2 hours ago but spath had to pretend he knew what he was talking about. im glad to see at least one other person posting here that has his head on straight.

EDIT: for you korean members that thumbed down my previous thread i will be happy to repost it:

really? care to provide link to evidence? and why would they stop shipping? the manufacturer only loses money, not the supplier. makes no sense economically.

edit: only thing thumbing down my posts is doing is showing how ridiculous your argument is. you are the same person logging in and out of different accounts boasting your stupid claim.

Wonder why there are only 'strangers' posting in this topic being mesmerized by your claims? huh... lets see:

Like I said, its probably the same person or just a swarm of their posters from the korean site thats been linked here. Either way, the pictures alone can at least somewhat clarify at least that ONE chip being able to do this. But their means of justification arent needed, dont need 1000 people saying the same thing. Its a take it for what it is thing.

Nobody is pretending anything. Stop acting like you are scared of this processor, or these koreans.

Learn to let some stuff get by you, and get over it.

Hey go for it.

All I can say about this is the possibility seems to be there but the problem is that ACC is mobo side and the disabled core is normally CPU side. Hell sometimes they burn the bad core out.

And even if it is true being able to load Prime 95 doesn't mean a damn thing. When I had my Q6600@ 3GHz but my memory was at too low voltage I could load Prime 95 no problem. But let it actually run and show what kind of errors you will get.

At first the errors wont be bad but this will lead to corrupted data and eventually that disabled core that was meant to not work would cause a needed system file/driver to be corrupted and bam. The entire OS install is screwed or the data leads to the lovely BSoD.

BTW Spath here is a actual CPU-Z screenie for the Phenom II 940:

And the 720 X3:

Thing is it does show it as a AM2+ CPU and also the thing about BOTH of the posters CPU-Z shots is that they are using version 1.50 and the 7 in the 720 is missing yet in version 1.49 in the pics I linked they show the full 720.

Also one of his lower CPU-Z shots says 1.50.1 and the other says 1.50.

TBH, I find it extremely hard to believe that a SB/mobo side setting that actually controls the calibration between the CPU and the SB for better OCing would allow for the disabled core to unlock when normally the core is locked on the well CPU itself. Thats like if it was a Celeron with lower cache having a setting in the BIOS that somehow activates the cache. Just not easily believeable.

hey dudu..
Why u don't trust??
It's true..
U think korean is lier or?
Just imagine..
Why we post this issue on this site..
we just wanted to share of that information..
after 1 person succeed to change core..
he posted on korea hardware community site which called 'Parkoz'
after people know that inf.. lots of people tried to buy it..
with motherboard.. which has 750 sb,able to change acc core voltage..
like asrock790gx,??? and so on..
now more that 5 people success to change quadcore..
from heca710,720be ..
hey dudu..
we r not lier..
also we don't need to lie..as u know today is not First of April..
