so broke out the new AM3 mobo and the phenom x2 555 BE ended up unlocking to a quad core I am installing windows now this mobo is DDR3 so I am gonna try to do most my testing with the 1800mhz corsair dominator mem I got any thoughts on voltages and shit with these CPUs also got a sempron 145 on the way dont know when it will be here no tracking I hate buying on ebay when the dont use a tracking #

mine are ver 3.1 if you are asking what version the corsair doms are I guess that would make them micron?

Ah Micron probably good to 2v they haven't got a voltage on them

was messing with this thing today was able to get it going at 3900mhz outta the Phenom II 555 it unlocked to quad core but does not like it one bit 3 cores good to go need a baseline for voltages so I dont fry nothing here

Is it a PII 555 BE, or a PII B55? They are not the same thing and you're subbing in B55, which I'm thinking is wrong.

It would be wrong if its a BE Jas what does CPUz say with no cores unlocked if it says 555BE that is where it has to be subbed even if it doesnt say 555BE while unlocked.

oh ok I will delete them it wont let me change the CPU to 555 BE with X3 cores on it freaks out I will redo the subs this weekend when I get out my waterblock it lets me subs when the 1st time with 3x core selected but once sub it I cant edit it

ive got a 555BE also and from my understanding it has to be subbed as either a AMD Phenom II X2 555 BE or a AMD Phenom II X2 B55 and when its a phenom B55 you can select the active cores on........ MHz unlocked to:

It cant be subbed as a Phenom II X2 B55 for the simple fact its a BE it has an unlocked multi. The Phenom II X2 B55 the multi is locked at 15 It has to be subbed as a Phenom X2 555BE and when you sub it you select the amount of cores you are using if you are using more than 2.

It comes up as a Phenom II X2 B55 because its got more than 2 cores running if its run with its standard 2 cores it will come up as a 555BE and seeing as that is what it really is that is where you are supposed to sub it. As I have already said the B55 does not have an unlocked multi that is why they are different CPUs and not to be subbed in the same bracket.
It would be the same as subbing a 4670 with a 4670k they are different locked and unlocked multi

One thing I would like to know is if when he has got 3 cores active does the multi become locked. My 565BE in the Crosshair IV the multi becomes locked with 3 cores activated but in the Crosshair V-Z the multi remains unlocked with 3 cores.

Yes and there is a real Phenom II X2 B55 and that is what CPUz is reading it as when its unlocked but it still is a 555BE and you are not supposed to sub it as a B55

when I unlock my 555 BE the multiplier is still unlocked standard multi is 16x200 = 3200mhz and I can change it to what ever think 40 was the max

My Cr4 doing the same multi locking behavoir after unlocking my 555 but only with the last bios. With older bios it was good if I remember well.

Each to their own with those voltmeters a lot of people use them. I personally couldnt be bothered buggerising around gluing them on and soldering three terminals for each meter when I can just solder 1 tail on that the multimeter probe plugs into and away you go. I prefer to keep things easy that can be easy

Post by Shadyreaper on Nov 10, 2017 18:03:46 GMT -5
yea I used to just put wires on them but my damn volt meter would fall over or the damn probe would fall out of the molex plugs I was using as a meter port plus my meters probes are wonky I had to resolder the wires on them I just figure these would be easier for me I am looking to borrow a GPU pot so I can do dice with some of these modded GPUs I got 9800GTX+ and 8800GTS 320MB gonna have to keep it away from my 980 KPE tho LMAO Joe said he might have one

ok so I need help big time with this mobo out of 5 CPUs I have tried only 1 works the 555 BE Bones just sent me 3 more a sempron 145 140 and athlon x2 and I have a sempron 145 that I bought I thought was dead but prob not posting because of mobo cause I can not get either 145 the 140 or athlon to post in the board I have tried newest bios (2003) tried the sempron 145 bios (1602) still no post I put every CPU in there the only one that will post is the 555 BE Ive tried clearing bios with both button and switch and removing battery I really want to get these CPUs working in this board please if anyone has any idea what could be wrong Id like to hear Ive tried 2 different sets of mem both work fine with 555 BE ones 1333mhz crucial and the other 1800mhz corsair dom

What revision are the sempron's? www.asus.com/Motherboards/CROSSHAIR_III_FORMULA/HelpDesk_CPU/looks like the 140 has to be Rev C2 and 145 Rev C3 (145 needs bios 1601 minimum). And are you sure those CPU's are known to be good? Also aren't Sempron's picky for memory? I vaguely recall something to that nature. I'm not huge on these generations so I apologize if you checked all this already. Vin

I dont know and yea they are known good CPUs I got them from Bones so I know they are good and I tired bios 2003 and 1602 and I dunno about them at all so for mem I wouldnt be able to tell ya

I thought it was written on them or part of the serial number on them.

hmmm then it has to be ram then geez I only got 2 sets of DDR3 wife has 3rd set doubt they would be any better shit man I guess I can try a different bios again not sure what to do both sets of mem work perfect with 555 BE damn picky ass AMD stuff edit maybe it doesnt like DDR3 and I need a DDR2 mobo I dunno LOL by all means it should work its right rev and CPU is listed to work with mobo
