Core unlocking issue

[Tansan]

Hi guys.I would very much appreciate any guidance on the amd phenom II x2 550 BE.I have unlocked this in my new build and cpu-z recognizes it as an amd phenom II x4 B50 but the core speed is only at 803.6mhz instead of around 3100.I am a bit confused about this so if anyone could shed some light i would be very grateful.

cheers in advance Tansan

i take it that it turned out ok?

Sorry for the late reply but it seems you were right martini...the speed at start up is just over 3.1ghz and then it drops down to around 800mhz about 30 seconds later.
thanks a lot for the info

Its good to hear these 2 cores are still being easily unlocked..

But you might want to try running something like prime 95 to see other 2 are stable..
