And now the CPU won't report any temperatures to any programs like HWmonitor or CoreTemp both just read as 0°C.

Is this normal for X3 720BE that have the 4th core unlocked?

I unlocked the extra core about 2 weeks ago and ran Prime 95 for 12hrs on it and have not had any stability issues since even while playing BF3.

The problem is just sitting in the back of my mind making me paranoid that something isn't quite right even if the system is stable.
 
Thank you for the fast reply, I was worried something had broke despite the stability.

I've had this CPU over 2 years now and originally didn't plan to unlock or overclock as this was my first pc build ever but i feel i know enough now to try and overclock it.

Going to get a decent heatsink and attempt to overclock bit by bit.
