What happend to the 'unlock the fourth core thread'?
 

i was reading a thread called Unlock the fourth core, least i think thats what it was called.
Any way ive still got it in my email account but its now an invalid link?
whats up with that?

i really need to know as i might buy a p2 720

I found this browsing through this forum section (overclocking and cooling), might have some info to help you out...seems to unlock the 4th core you need a bios option to do so...something called ACC? Anyways they were using gigabyte boards for the most part, it's not the exact thread, but might be helpful!

Hope that helps! :toast:

hey, thanx, it seems the orignal thread has just vanished.

It depends
1. On the board
2. The bios
3. The Chip

Not all chips will unlock the 4th core only a few

What you do is go to ACC and set it to Per Core 0%

if it boots and you are able to run prime95 or anystablility program for a few hours your good
if it dosent then you arent able to

If it dosent work reset you CMOS

so why has the thread been removed?

what thread?

you probably copied the link wrong which one are you trying to find

no, this is the link that was emailed to me by the automated email that comes in, it used to work it was a good thread on how to unlock the fourth core of the 720

PM a mod or Wiz and find out where it went. Threads are very very very rarely deleted here only locked.

Hey you dont need to put all cores at 0% or anything. Just enable the ACC function on your mobo and if your chip does have a stable 4th core your good to go.
