Can't unlock using Gigabyte ma770-ud3

[Jimmah]

I've tried everytihng I can think of with this board, and it is 'supposedly' rev 2 although CPU-Z shows the SB700 chipset but the manufacturer's website says it should have the SB710. I have a PII 545, ACC enabled in hybrid mode and Auto, still won't even see the extra 2 cores let alone try to unlock them. Overclocks rather well, hitting 3.75 with only a little voltage bump, just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong with this unlocking jazz.

Any insight would be great appreciated.

what happens when you enable acc and hybrid and boot ?

A whole lot of nothing. It comes up with the same options, only two cores showing, doesn't show if it had more cores. I think the board is a dud, every program I try shows it having the SB700 chipset, yet it is a REV 2 board so it should have the SB710. Weird.

If it has acc, then I think its the right board. Maybe there are really only 2 cores in your chip ?? When I tried to unlock my 550BE, it would lock up.

If it boots up saying it's a B45 processor then your chip unlocked. Otherwise you indeed have bum cores.
