I think I read somewhere that you can unlock four cores with the Phenom 550? is this correct? If so will it need extra cooling?
 
Yes you can unlock extra core`s on the 550, though not on all of them and you must have a mobo that supports it and even if you unlock the two extra cores there is a fair chance that your system might not be stable, so you would have to run prime to ensure it`s stability.

Your cooling should not be a problem with the coolit cooler you have, if you have the right mobo, it is worth giving it a try though as you have the 550 and might get lucky.

Check out the other threads on the first page, there is a link in there to a guide to unlock the other core`s.
