You forgot to rename the links, they still say 10.7.
Hmm AMD overdrive does not seem to find my Phenom II.
Thanks Leith, as usual!
Only reason I can think of that it misses my CPU is than it is a X3 with the 4th core unlocked via BIOS.
I will submit a feedback form and see if they fix it next version.
AMD certainly has the upper hand over NVIDIA and Intel considering they can integrate all their software components seamlessly.
i don’t think that catalyst software can even detect softmoding of the 4th core.
I think it’s better related to catalyst issue ..think they ‘ll fix that in the next version .
