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

[absic]

Maybe you can refer to my issue and this thread if you contact the technical staff?
I will send a PM with the issue number if you like.

Thanks for the offer b-force but I'm a bit like you insofar as I don't have direct contact with Gigabyte except through the standard e-mail system or this Forum, so I don't think I can do too much more than you.

Ah you know what it is, they want to copy the BIOS on the MSI board and save themselves a lot of time and trouble  

I also can make a copy of it  

Thinking of which.
I really don't know how good other Gigabyte motherboards are with unlocking. (eg the 785 for comparison)
I find another forum board (don't know the link at this moment) were it is clear that MSI boards are very good at unlocking I believe.
But maybe that's because MSI is a little cheaper so people buy more MSI boards and post more results?? (I really don't know)

Not sure if it down to the motherboards or the actual CPU.
I have managed to unlock the cores on the CPU's I have tried, on all of the Gigabyte Boards I have used that offered the core unlock feature. Even on my current board, the GA-790XTA-UD4 the unlock core feature works perfectly.

But, I haven't tried on an 8 Series board so have no first hand experience to qualify that statement.

I leave my desk for one day and a whole thread happens   .

I'm a bit amazed at how responsive Gigabyte has been.  I have a very similar issue to b_force, except with the 880GA-UD3H, and I'm eagerly awaiting a resolution myself.  Thanks for the updates b_force, absic, Dark Mantis et al, and please do keep it up 

For the record I used QFlash for the BIOS updates, and have 'synced' the backup and main chip BIOS.

That'll teach you to take time off!

This is one of Gigabyte's strong points. Once an issue has been found they do try their best to resolve it as quickly as possible.

Hi b_force

Please send me GGTS email ID no. by PM for checking what's going on between our NL branch and you. Thanks

It's actually Germany 


(weird, I'm from the Netherlands and the first request was via the Dutch website)

Well the countries are sort of neighbors I suppose.  Cordial ones at that, except for that whole uninvited visit thing in the early to mid 1940s.  So it kind of makes sense about the Dutch/Germans crosses?

Wait, what was originally German?

[b_force]

According to American standards the Netherlands are only just less than one state 

But one with a hack of knowledge

Holland has the highest density of people in Europe, and is one of the most densely populated countries in the world, so I think that makes up for it  .  You guys also have the tallest average population in Europe as well, clocking in around 6'2" or something.

Oddly enough I work with about 20 'Dutchies', "...wooden shoes, wooden head, wouldn't listen." as they say  .

They have to be taller to be able to carry on breathing when the dykes break

[b_force]

Nice off-topic talking', but are there any improvements?



To bad to live here, you pay a lot for an house, but the surface area you get is just pathetic.  
I think I move to somewhere else  
(Even the poorest in USA have bigger houses then people here with a well-earned income)

[Dark Mantis]

runn3R is looking into it fore you and I am sure as soon as he has an answer he will post again. Trouble is he is a busy man and if he is relying on GGTS for the info it can take some time.

DM, that's just too funny.  Looked into it and apparently they're the tallest in the world...after having historically being among the shortest in Europe.  I suspect doping myself =).

Depending on where you live in Canada b_force, it's pretty pricey.  In the city I live in, a small condo costs 200K, and a tiny bungalow will run you 400-500K.  I think I'll be able to afford my own place in about 10-15 more years  .

Now for the Gigabyte staff, I certainly appreciate your diligence greatly.  Keep up the good fight and please do let us know as soon as you can what you find 

[b_force]

My update from the staff is that they are backing out a little bit.

In my personal opinion, sending your CPU and MSI board is very complicate for both you and me. Would it be ok for you, if just keeping your current issue aside for a while?
Let's just simply wait until someone else complains again in somewhere else with the similar issue. Till then, our HQ colleagues might be trying to get a possible solution for it.

On the other hand, they are trying to arrange something via the Dutch Technical staff (why did I get the German???  )
(I also having troubles with booting from USB )
