OK - got a Sempron 140 and wanted to have a bit of fun testing it - did ok I think

the second core is fussy on this chip but still unlocks with right settings

I got mine unlocked by using the UCC in the bios and upping the voltage to 1.40v or 1.45v and it runs fine also overclocked to 3.4ghz from 2.7 the cpu is pretty handy :O

P.s It runs pretty stable

@discobubbles I don't know... But most people that Unlocked the 2 moe cores had a 770 or 790 chip model, not 740. :-) And you must be lucky to unlock them.

@GamerAndReviewer hey dude can u tell . is this mobo msi 740gm-p25 able to unclock other 2 cores of amd phenom ii x2 560 be cpu and make it into a full fledged quad core. i the board is cheap . its priced at 52$ i think. i has ddr3 ram support. i wanna ask do u think msi boards have quality to last long and they really unlock cores? though msi says that this particular mobo has core unlocking technology. plz help

@nelizmastr I'm not sure... I believe that if you put a card until 6850 will be fine. From 6870 and over, maybe it'll bottleneck them...

so.. it can max crysis now, with a good enough gpu?

isn't the physical limit of a silicium CPU at ~3.6GHz?
