GA-880GA-UD3H - unlock cores on Phenom II 555 BE

[b_force]

Yes, I also said that to.
It's to insane that they promote the motherboard with great features, like "simple" unlocking.

Absic, do you have any news?
I thought that you asked some things to?

Hi and my apologies,

I have to say that I let this particular problem slip from my mind as I have been busy doing other things. I will make some enquiries but I'm not sure if I will get any better response than you have had.

I was looking at the MSI 880GMA-E45 and the unlock option is almost the same
(in fact the whole BIOS is almost the same!)

Is it known if this motherboard has also problems with unlocking?

Seems that the "ACC" option wasn't that bad at all?

(in other words, would the GA-880GM-UD2H be a better unlocker?)

(in other words, would the GA-880GM-UD2H be a better unlocker?)

My experience is with the Gigabyte GA-880GMA-UD2H (rev 2.0)
2 different MB
2 different 555BE CPU
both failed to detect additional cores.
I didn't have an MSI or Asus to test with, so can't replicate 100%

Just failing to detect is already a strange thing.

I've put a little bit of pressure on the "Dutch tech guy".
He has talked to the old "tech guy" and again they propose to send my cpu + motherboard so they can test it.

But he was saying that he has (off course) multiple motherboards to test.
So I have replied again why they don't test those motherboards with different CPU's.

Hi,

Just been reading this topic, cause i had problems unlocking the 2nd core on my brand spanking new Sempron 140 using a new GA-MA78LMT-S2 (rev. 3.4) (both of these components bought yesterday).

This may not help but it worked for me. In order to get it unlocked i have used the following method (i have the latest F13 bios for this board):

1. Set fail-safe Bios settings => Save & Reboot

2. Set Hybrid EC mode in M.I.T => Save & Reboot

3. Set ACC to auto => Save & Reboot

4. Second Core unlocked! (showing Athlon II instead of Sempron 140 at POST!)

Right now im gonna check if its stable, currently writing this post on the untested, but unlocked Athlon II X2 4400e!

  Completely different technology. The 78x chipset is outgoing.

Again news,

The Dutch tech guy has also offered to let me send my motherboards so they can investigate it.
But I don't understand why they don't have a MSI board.
It's not very uncommon that rivals buy each other stuff to "spy" on it.

My biggest problem is that I can't use my computer for I while.
Maybe I will send it just for the holidays.
On the other hand, it doesn't help if they also have vacation.

No I really wouldn't advise you top dispatch it before Christmas as at best it wil be sat in the service centre if not in a packaging dept somewhere.

Hi all, I have v 2.1 and UD3H 880ga phemon 555be 2x2, and I am disappointed by what I've read that I happy to gigabyte, I have not answered me and I have control 4 email, the question, which seems to have category little silly not to fix something that is to write code gigabyte in the bios for the support of 555 be, and so important to the user, which shows the evil gigabyte after-sales service and they care about solving our problem (not are asked for a miracle), I as I do not fix it do not buy anything else in my life gigabyte is a SHAME

Yes I am afraid that is something we hear sometimes here and it is a shame as the product is good but is often let down by the aftersales service side of the business.

so swindlers, and sell smoke, in the case of the plate does not come in Inguna side that is not compatible with the release of 555be, just put that unlocks the hidden core, a shame, I have about a week, I will have chance to return ?

I would think that there is a fair chance of a BIOS update to fix this issue being released.

so hopefully! but someone made an news from gigabyte that they do it? or have to modify the bios someone who knows? if you can? do not know, they do not cost nothing, and many would make us happy with his gift for Christmas, sorry for the English, is google translator

Have you tried going directly to GGTS and asking them to do this to a BIOS?
