    Does MSI 890gxm-g65 support AMD Phenom II X4 960T “Zosma” and 4-core/6-core unlocking?

    Hello, I want to know what all processors does MSi 890gxm-g65 can work with. Can it support Phenom II Zosma?? I also want to know about the 4 or 6 core unlocking. Is it possible using this motherboard? What is the review of this motherboard? Should I go for it or is there something better in this range?

    The MSI 890gxm-g65 is the new motherboard by MSI that supports all existing AM3 mainboards and upgrades all the BIOS too. It is a SATA with 6GB/s, 2x faster than the older SATA. It also supports usb 3.0 and Active Phase Switching. It also supports AMD multi-core processors as well. If you see the support list of the board on its official web page you will see it supports every multi-core processor of AMD such as Athlon II, Phenom II and Sempron. So it will support the 960T Zosma processor too. The main advantage of it is ATI Crossfire X which supports multi-GPU platform and makes it a very good gaming platform with supporting more than 4 graphics cards. So, for a gaming enthusiast this is a very good motherboard.

    I saw the support list on the site and it does support all the multi-core processors. But I see that AMD Zosma is on the list but its CPU no. is 840T. But mine is 960T, so is that also supported? I don’t understand maybe it is new so it isn’t included in the list yet. Does anyone know about it?

    No I don’t think 960T is supported. The motherboard does support the latest Bios, but I don’t think it will support 960T because it is too new. But it does support the Phenom II 840T. It has series 4000 graphics core so now you can encode media files over the GPU with 3rd party software like MediaShow Espresso or even speed up Adobe Photoshop and Adobe flash. Also, the 6GB/s is not very important with normal HDDs but with rise of large SSD drives it is very advantageous to have this motherboard. It also supports 8-channel audio and upto 14 USB 2.0 devices. But don’t know anything about unlocking feature.

    Latest news is that AMD will not be releasing the board into the market as they are concerned with the unlocking things. You will be lucky if you get them anywhere. My frined got the 840T from eBay, and tried unlocking on it. Unfortunately it couldn’t be done. They are seeling this to specific OEM’s which make it lockable and no one can unlock it. So your chances are way better if you buy a real sixcore.
    If you want a good hexacore buying a new one is a good option as unlocking produces many faults and glitches and might ruin your board permanently. Besides they are cheaper than Intel hexacore. So it’s better to be safe than unlocking and than finding out its flawed.
