[opstrat]

hey all

using an asrock n68c board i am trying to unlock the phenom x2 be to quadcore using the boards ucc feature but when i enable it the comp shuts down reboots but nothing comes on the screen. i then have to reboot cmos to restart windows.

any thoughts on this or is there another way to unlock the 4 core?

thanks

try giving the chip some more voltage in the bios, reboot and use ucc and maybe it will work. Also chek that your using the newest bios.

I am currently using this board and found that the bios version 1.1 and 1.3 were the best for this function, I personally went for 1.1 as it give you the option of shuting down any faulty cores. I am currently running Phenom II X2 550 as a Phenom II X4 B50 @ 3.4Ghz using stock voltages and stock cooler.

Hope this helps

It might be the chip in the end as I have a 9950 dual core BE down stairs and the asus board its on refuses to unlock it

make sure you select N68C-S UCC as I made that mistake. If you cant get them let me know and I can send them to you.
