Trouble unlocking Phenom x3 720 with Biostar TA790GXE 128M

[Z_Dash]

Need some help and advice as its my first attempting playing unlocking.
Gotten a Phenom II x3 720
Batch is 0904 EPWM

Mobo used is Biostar TA790GXE 128M
Bios ver in mobo shows 8.00.11

Tried basic step
- ACC to "Auto" (Failed to boot)
- ACC to "All Cores" (Failed to boot)
- HT to 1600mhz then ACC to "Auto" (Failed to boot)
- HT to 1600mhz then ACC to "All Cores" (Failed to boot)
...................

Any suggestion which i could try?
Not too sure but i see lots of advice using 78DEA113 BIOS. Does it makes a diff?

does it hang at the windows loading thingy? if yes, mine as welll.. i concluded that can't unlock, i.e. 4th core faulty.

Any bios to recommend i could try?
Suspect it could be biostar stock bios.

How much voltage to try adding? I read in some cases lowering voltage to cpu and upping northbridge voltage actually could do the trick.....but not too sure how much volt is safe.

[terence52]

adding a bit of voltage usually do the trick
dont think u nid to add northbridge volts to unlock
but if yours is an unlockable one also not much use
i onli rmb got a chinese mod bios for it
cant help much if my mobo is not back yet

Hmm......need someone who can help me test the unlockability of this chip you mean?

You know of any bios could recommend to flash before trying?

hey anyone has bios to unlock? i tried 2 bios but i think bios got error... cant make my pc start =.="

[leongws]

I bought this processor from PCT during about 4 months ago and tried unlocking it the moment it was setup using default bios. However, its like those that failed, the screen just blackout and cannot boot. I wonder if this and another thread that is related can enable me to unlock. However, i got a chip which i found out may have its 4th core permanently disable. My chip is 0907CPMW. Anyone can verify that its 4th core is disabled? Thanks
