I have been thinking about a new build recently. I was checking out this processor. I see in the reviews people saying that they have unlocked it into a quad core. Can anyone tell me if they have done this and how its done and if i need a specific board.
You need a board with ACC so to be safe get a board with the 750 southbridge. Some of the 710's will as well.
Many people have unlocked cores but they can be unstable. They will also effect how much you can overclock. It is luck of the draw. Most of them have cores locked for a reason.
