I use ECS A785gm-m7 that supports ACC..i use amd phenom 960t be 3.0 ghz btw..i managed to unlock it to x6 but somehow when i started windows..(like another day) it freezes on the starting windows screen..and when i restart it goes back to x4...and weird thing is sometimes it appears x6 and some day later it turn x4 somebody knows any solution to this??

@Amin7ty The AMD Phenom II x4 960T is a decent quad-core for gaming and with a TDP of 95w, it does not get too hot. With the right mb, you may be able to unlock the two idle cores.

@elementalsoul1 The cpu could be getting too hot. Are you using the stock heatsink fan?

um anyone know why if i follow his overclocks i get bsods lol ... but if i overclock to 3.8ghz its fine . Could it be voltage problems or just the power delivery on my mobo ?
