AMD Phenom II unlocking issues

[dr_ashish]

hi,
i got myself a phenome x2 555be with biostar TA790GXE128M.
stock cpuz reported normal cpu details
after unlocking the third core cpuz shows the cpu as amd athlon x3 455

whats with the renaming of my cpu.

yeah its correct. As no phenom series has 3 cores.. so according to cores; its showing X3. Did you check the config by rightclicking the my computer?

If you unlock the last core then it will show Phenom X4

well you not fully correct buddy. i put it this way. no Phenom II X3 got speed of 3.2Ghz. and as AMD going release more Athlon II X3. so one might have coincided with OP's speed i.e. 3.2Ghz tri core. so its displayed as X3 455. but still got 6Mb L3 cache.

PS: if u follow AMD's naming scheme. X3 455 should end up with speed of 3.3Ghz not 3.2Ghz.

rahul, please hack the p-state. and lower the voltage as you having cool & quite on. 1.232V @ 800Mhz. its a bit too much. 1V is more than enough here.

Get the latest CPU-Z version.

[dr_ashish]

mine is the latest cpuid 1.54 version

[rahul.007]

and same is mine....

@ sam:- will do that in a week.... rite now tuitions are a big headache and UTs also going on....

in my case unlocking my remaining cores of phenom II x2 555 black edition is not safe. My computer experience troubles in detecting my computer's hard disk when I am in quad core mode

[mavihs]

just do stability test with prime95 to check if each core is stable or not by manually switching each core on(3rd & 4rth) one by one!
