Hey guys,
Recently bought a phenom II 555 black edition CPU and i'm trying to unlock it using a MSI 770T-C45 motherboard (710 southbridge)
I've tried on 3 different bios; 8.7, 8.6 and 8.3, all of which have failed when setting ACC to auto and unlock cpu core/EC firmware to enabled/special.
The problem is that when I do this it shows 4 cores enabled in the bios but when I boot into windows CPU-Z and msconfig both claim there are only 2 cores, 2 threads.
Surely if the cores were defective it wouldn't post, no? Would they work with a better motherboard perhaps?
Any help is greatly appreciated
OS: Windows 7
Current Bios: 8.3
