hi everyone my board is M4N68TMLEV2 cpu:phenom ii x2 560 BE i thought of unlocking cores but in bios i am shocked! Because it had 2,3,4,5,6 cores and said i cannot disable the first core!! Means i can unlock it to 6 cores?? Is this normal?? By far i unlocked it only to 3cores with stock cooling and ran prime 95 the temperature is 61 degrees. Anybody tell me if this is normal or not. If it is i am gonna make a video unlocking it 6 cores as soon as i buy a new cooler. Any cheap cooler suggestions?

@GamerGeneral99

The 6 core option showing up is just something to do with your motherboard, as only 4 cores actually exsist inside a 560 BE

What is the difference between 3 Core (Core0,1,2) and 3 Core (Core0,1,3)?

@Kzsolti90

Nothing it's just the differemt cores of your processor, if you want to unlock it to 3 cores and 0,1,2 is unstable you can switch it 0,1,3 . . or so i've heard

i have the same proc and its working fine with only 2 cores...but if i unlock the other 2 cores do i need a better cooling system? i only got what they gave me with the proc..and i have an asus m4n68t-m le v2 ..i hope i dont mess up..

@cesztoszule

yeah you will need to upgrade your CPU cooler it's strongly recommended, as unlocking it incraeses to stock voltage from 80 watt to around 125, the stock cooler will stuggle to keep it chill

@GumballBo Unless you underclock the CPU to like 2.5Ghz

Ive been trying to unlock my cpu and encountered some problems. first off does cpuz report a tdp of 143w when unlocked? because mine does and secondly when i do unlock the extra cores everything runs fine until i play a game like battlefield where it uses 100 cpu it will run for 5 mins then shutdown instantly. im wondering if im putting enough voltage or something. do you haev any suggestions?

@cjpalmi8 Yes the x4 will be hotter than the x2 because it has more cores to produce the heat, although you don't have to upgrade the fan it is highly recommended as keeping the processor cool will make it more stable and make it last alot longer :)
