Core2Duo Unlocked!!!

oh wow.... E6300 1.86GHz to 3.68GHz with a 7x Multiplyer?! I just cant believe that, I need some [H] to backup this claim. My eyes have to be lieing to me. Can someone here try this new bios out?
 
supposedly certain steppings or weeks will unlock upwards too.....

also... I blasted some dude in another thread for saying this board unlocked multis... i forget who it was but.... *foot in mouth*
 
I wonder if they were using the PC-8500 Cosair that costs like $450 for that overclock, that Anandtech lists in their Conroe buyers guide.
 
Reading the comments on that article, it seems that the Gigabyte boards have had this feature implemented right from the start.
 
Everybody and their grandmother has a 6x00 and a DS3 or P5B-D. We all know their multipliers are unlocked downwards, that's not news. Does anyone, anyone at all, have a retail chip that's unlocked upwards? Frankly, I think this is BS.

Quoted for truthery.
 
Well if you are lucky your chip could unlock up or down or both ways. :D

Asus did it again. :D
 
Can anyone confirm this is true?

I have a E6600 but its still in its retail box.Looks and sounds promising.

Prove it.

Hey, have you heard that the new DFI 965 board unlocks the extra 2MB cache on allendales turning them into conroes? Sadly I have no proof, you will need to take it on faith.
 
I have been using this bios for a few weeks. on and off swapping out with the 502 on a p5b deluxe.
It does allow you to clock down...NOT up

it is better at oc then the 502 but to me it does have issues, just different ones than the 502.

give it a try.

How could you prove something like that? Would software report that accurately? And does the DFI board unlock it automatically, or is there a setting?

Not to mention the fact that there is no proof that the allendales actually have 4MB of physical cache to begin with. I still think that's a rumor, but I would love to be proved wrong.
 
Yeah, umm, I was trying to make a point about taking things on faith. Thanks for the assist.

Good 1!

Actually, I have a DS3 BIOS that unlocks the secret 3rd core!!

Its like the disabled quad on a 6800nu, that allowed it to be turned in to a 6800GT.

I can't give it out yet, b/c its still top secret, but just believe me and go post around the internet in all kinds of forums telling people about this, so when I do release it everyone will know! :)

It is true , I tried it with the one I still have in the box and I got 8 cores , also the temps still did not rise even after this.
 
This isn't news. All Conroes (even the locked ones) adjust their multipliers down - that's how EIST works. The F4C BIOS on my DS3 has had settings for 6x, 7x, 8x on my E6400 ever since I first installed it a few weeks ago. ASUS is just behind the game in putting it in their BIOS.
 
Now if only I could find a motherboard that could overclock that well, drop multipliers, AND take a Nvidia 7950.... Looks like I'm waiting for the AATI 1950XTX and then go with this Asus motherboard.

Downclocking the FSB was what I used to check how Badly my RAM sucked. I lower the multiplier to 6 and ran the FSB at 400. I used that speed because that's the stock 2.4GHz my E6600 runs at. I got errors in Memtest and Orthos-P95.

What? You mean you overclocked your FSB and "downclocked" the multiplier?

Yup! Downclocked the Multiplier to 6, down from it normal 9. Increased the FSB up to 400, up from its normal 266.7. 6 (Multiplier) X 400 (FSB) = 2.4GHz Processor speed and 2 X 400 = 800 for the RAM.

Yup, AMD guys have been doing this since the A64.

ROFLOL I had to wipe the tears out of my eyes for that one.

I heard that some C2D's are really Clovertowns with two "bad" cores disabled. You can use the Inteltuner to reactivate the cores.

Don't ruin my real secret with your silly rumor. :cool:
Everyone knows that the Clovertowns have a secret 5th core that this same BIOS will unlock.

To anyone who wants the super secret BIOS to enable to disabled core (3rd on Conroe or 5th on Clovertown), PM me for my paypal acct. It will only cost you $5 for the download.

..will it work with AMD chips? ..if so , I'm in man ...

I do hope it is true though , free performance, well it cant be bad can it.
 
why do you say unlocked ???

The p5w has had this all along.

if you mean that the newer bios can let you clock down yes it can.
BUT unlocked is Engineering samples that allow you to clock at whatever.

Do you know what Gigabyte motherboard allow for this?

I have the GA-965P-DS3

Anyone have an idea?

Thank you
 
Propaganda stunt it sounds like, there isnt anyone that we have found to finfirm if this is true.

I have that board too and even the first BIOS allowed using lower multipliers, down to 6. This feature is kind of useless though. Conroe isn't so bandwidth starved afterall.
