Really? I've unlocked it with per core, all core, and auto at separate times on two different boards.

Auto is what will unlock the core, if it is not a bad core. You have to remember that many of those processors were made X3's because of a faulty core and ACC will not unlock it. It is like playing the lottery and you have to use older bios because ACC has been patched to prevent unlocking of cores in later bios versions.
Don't be sad if you can't unlock it. Just OC it and it will perform as well as a X4 955 in many gaming benchmarks.

Deneb, Heka, and Callisto, all children of Barcelona, were born native quad core. The Phenom II X3 (Heka) series was conjured for yielding purposes. All are technically defective. Perhaps with per core tweaking the fourth core could be revived.
AMD has denied these rumors of a micro-lockdown-code. http://www.theinquirer.net/inq...d-denies-locking-cores
Can anyone else confirm that the reversion of a mobo's firmware helps with unlocking the 720?
If anyone has helpful information about ACC or overclocking, please post!
I'm optimistic. :laugh:
Thanks

I just think AMD was hesitant about choosing which dies passed X4 spec.

Heat definitely isn't the problem!

I see!
I meant: what sources say AMD is locking down on unlocking?
The INQ isn't biased. They have good reason for their positions. Very funny, too
Man, you picked the shit out of my response, lol. It's barely breathing.
BBS with results!

If the PC won't post with ACC on it's because you have to use the BIOS dated from 1/13/09. The later ones have an option called core leveling which forces the cpu into single or dual-core mode only.

What do you mean by core leveling? Is it characteristic of Biostar mobo,s only? I didn't see anything like that on my MSI board. I used BIOS 1.7 dated 3.31.09.
I couldn't unlock my 550. Any suugestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm having the same problem as OP.
I'm 1hr P95 stable at 3.2 and stock voltage, stable at 3.4 and 1.4v, but no matter what I do, I can't get it stable at 3.5, let alone 3.6. Won't last 10 minutes of P95, even at 1.55v.
ACC and CnQ are disabled.
What do you guys say is the max safe voltage for 24/7 use? I've seen people running at 1.52, but I'm not sure if that's just for their benchmarks or if they run that voltage all the time.
What else can I do to help stabilize my OC? All I've touched so far is the multiplier and Vcore.
