The Phenom II X3 720 was released on 2/9/09, right? The BIOS was released 1/13/09. How sure are we "78DBA113.BST" will work with the 720? I don't want to have try to recover from that. :P I can't find any more information about 78DBA113.BST.

I see! :P I meant: what sources say AMD is locking down on unlocking? The INQ isn't biased. They have good reason for their positions. Very funny, too Man, you picked the shit out of my response, lol. It's barely breathing. BBS with results! :)

@MerlinRML First, thank you so much for actually providing GOOD information here on the AndandTech forums. I mostly get one liners or off topic B.S. So if I were to set up a new SATA HD I should run it in AHCI mode instead of SATA mode? Only if it has NCQ/Hot-swapping? Are there any other...

Rude response? lol If The INQ ". . . ISN'T A RELIABLE SOURCE," then what is? I just think AMD was hesitant about choosing which dies passed X4 spec. If anyone has Phenom II 720 experience, please post them. This thread is for results. Running at 3.4GHz with 26C at mild-load at...

Did you receive the rebate? I heard there was a huge scandal with the rebates companies back then. lol

Hey! DDR2 continues to drop, but it is definitely slowing down. OCZ DDR2-1066 - $49 shipped http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16820227362 Not bad at all. I got 2x2GB G.skill DDR2-1066 5-5-5-15 for $45 shipped on ebay. <3

Hey everyone! Can someone elaberate on this quote? "Intel recommends choosing RAID mode on their motherboards (which also enables AHCI) rather than the plain AHCI/SATA mode for maximum flexibility, due to the issues caused when the mode is switched once an operating system has already...

Deneb, Heka, and Callisto, all children of Barcelona, were born native quad core. The Phenom II X3 (Heka) series was conjured for yielding purposes. All are technically defective. Perhaps with per core tweaking the fourth core could be revived. AMD has denied these rumors of a...

That's awesome! I guess, each (cpu) to their own. lol What settings did you use in ACC? Auto, Per core, All cores? If applicable, what percentages? What are your specs? Anyone else have a Phenom II X3 720? Or have experience with unlock/overclocking X2/X3s? :D

HOLY CRAP! You got the Phenom II X2 unlocked to X4?! Is that common?! I will try the new BIOS and more tweaking soon! :) Let you know the results soon! :)

Those are both quad core CPUs. Mine's Tri core. I think when I enable ACC it tries to unlock it, even with forced Tri core settings and then fails to past POST. I don't know if I want to degrade my BIOS.

Hi all! I can't seem to get my 720 above 3.4GHz without something crashing within a few hours. Temps don't pass 50c. Running on CoreV at 1.4875. Raising the HT clock above 200 usually results in BSOD. Any overclocking suggestions? Thanks :D

My current firmware: Upload Date 2009-06-03 Description Support Phenom II and Athlon II CPU The one you suggest is older than my current, which is said to support Phenom II. If I go to 1/13/09 won't it remove support for my processor all together? Again, I have the option to...

I tried ACC with forced Tri-core. Still didn't boot. I have the newest firmware. Any suggestions? Why should I overclock the NB? Highest 720 OC's compared: http://www.overclock.net/amd-c...enom-ii-x3-720-oc.html Satsuki
