Unlocking a 7750BE, few questions

[JonJ678]

I know very little about amd, thankfully people on here know rather more.

I believe it's an AMD Athlon X2 7750BE, a 95W am2+ chip. Google implies that this has some chance of unlocking to a more exciting processor, which has some chance of being stable. This is apparently from the generation before phenom 2.

AMD's website suggests that the phemon 1 X4 chips have a tpd of 95W up to the 2.4GHz 9750, anything over this one of 125W. Google thinks it becomes a FX7750, which doesn't appear to exist. So first question, what is it supposed to unlock to/what's the fx7750 equivalent to?

It seems I need a motherboard with SB750. Is this the southbridge? How do I find out which boards are viable?

The feature in the BIOS is called Advanced Clock Calibration. Set it to auto.

Most optimistic so far, is there a mini-itx motherboard that has "SB750", a suitable bios, and will take this processor, and will let me undervolt it?

Thanks

isn't 7750BE a phenom1 tri core chip?

If yes you might be able to unlock the 4th core but that's it, and if you do you probably will need to ADD volts instead of undervolting it to keep it stable.

And I don't think any mini boards will support that option anyways, but you can give it a try...

It's definitely dual core, I think it's the same architecturally as the phenom 1, but is too cheap to warrant the "phenom" brand name.

I can't find a board with the 750 southbridge in mini-itx yet, but I'll keep looking.

It wont unlock, dont see the point of trying, as it wont.

Edit,

Does work in a few cases aparently, i wouldnt bother with anything non Phenom II architecture.
