So I am trying to unlock the 4th core on my black edition phenom ii x3 720.
I updated my bios, turn on advanced clock calibration and I can manage to run my desktop. But when I load games it crashes moments later.
A few questions I have about unlocking the 4th core...
1. Do you need an aftermarket heatsink if you are not overclocking? (just unlocking the 4th core)
2. What does this mean? Do I have a defective 4th core? or can this be fixed with some tweaking in the bios? (voltage, speed, etc)
3. Why does my processor show as "phenom ii x4 20 processor"
