Hi,

I recently (2days ago) purchase a new Rig configuration is as follows.
AMD Phenom II X2 550BE 3.1GHz 6MB L3 Cache
BioStar A785GE with onboard ATI HD 4200 GFX
Product Link
4 GB DDR2 Kingston 800MHz RAM
1TB Seagate 32MB Buffer HDD
500 Watts PowerSupply

I updated to the latest bios available on the biostar's website. I see the ACC settings in Bios Setup Screen.

But when I enable ACC, Level -2% & HyperLink to 1.6MHz I get no display, for which i have to reset the bios to get display back.

Now I don't want to overclock & keep it running under stock coolers, but it would be nice to confirm that it will work.
 
107 Views & nobody know? Odd.....Very Odd.

The motherboard has all the features required for Unlocking the core, ACC etc, I have installed AMD OverDrive Utility & I can enable the ACC from there but still it hangs on Bios
 
Yes! Sid1712 I read that page 7 times before I bought AMD Phenom II X2 550BE, but i made a mistake of choosing the BIOSTAR A785GE instead of TA785GE 128MB.

So i am thinking i will sell this motherboard here, i brought it for Rs. 3900/- & go for either Gigabyte or Asus.

Even then if it doesn't unlock i'll sell the processor & go for x4 as i really need 4 cores for virtualization.
 
Mate,
I think you would have had much higher chance of unlocking if you would have gone with 555BE instead of 550BE also are u sure that you got a black edition as now AMD has stopped making black edition they are now selling 550 with fixed multiplier edition.
 
^ lol black edition due to many people bought the cpu for unlock to quad core :D and very cheap one

btw change the board to 128 mb with side port if work asap if fail to unlock then increase the vcore and reduce the HT to 1.8 ghz :)
 
I confirm that the AMD Phenom Processor is Black Edition, says so on the box but nothing on the system (cpuz or PC Wizard)

I would love to change the board but i need to be sure that it will work, If someone can come to my place with their motherboard to test or if you want i can bring the processor to your place to test. It will help me a lot.

@Arun.P can you confirm that you also didn't see the BE mark in CPUZ as i have seen photos on the internet where CPUZ shows Black Edition.

@Tosh79 I am not sure about that but my box does say AMD Phenom II Black Edition Multi-Core Processor (Maybe Arun.P can confirm the same) & from what I read 550BE has same chance as the 555BE

Update: I bought today Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H as this board is proven unlocker.

Here is what I do.

Enter BIOS

Enter MIT

change EC Firmware to Hybrid

change ACC to Auto

Change HT To 1.6Ghz

Save settings

Shows a red screen saying Updating EC Firmware.....

Reboots

Shows AMD Phenom x4 B50....

& just sits there doesn't detect IDE/SATA Drives

I am gonna try to unlock atleast 3 cores & see the results
