Asus M4A88T-M for unlocking cores

[charly9]

hi
some store dumps AMD CPU's no one buys. we can get Phenom II X2 555 & Phenom II X3 720 for 150$ - both.
Now, we want to buy the Asus M4A88T-M, it's on sale and cheaper than 785G boards from Asus and Gigabyte.
Do you know if this board is successful in unlocking cores? I know it depends mostly on the CPU, but I understand the board is also relevant. Couldnt find anything on this board.

thanks.

to OCF!


That's a fairly new board so there probably isn't much unlocking information on it as yet but from what I've read it's pretty much the same as the 785 chipset, which was good for unlocking.


You can get Phenom II X2 550s and X3 720s all day long from Newegg for $100 + free shipping ...

thanks.
yes, i know the board is basically 785G (SB is 710), but the reason i like it is the ob HD4250, with up to 1GB. on most boards it's 512MB.
newegg prices are nice, but we pay only 150$, the 50$ we save go for better CPU cooling, as unlocking cores should raise temps.
still, i couldnt find much info on 720 batches that were successful in opening the 4core. there's more on the 555. do you know where i can get that info on the 720's?
thanks.

Not a clue though I think there is an unlock database floating around on one of the OC sites ...

Activating cores on Asus M4a88t-M motherboard.

I have finished rebuilding my computer with this motherboard and a Phenom II X2 560 processor. I had no problem at all activating the additional 2 cores and my CPU is now identified as a AMD Phenom II X4 B60 running at 3.6 MHz. Been running stable ever since.
