Phenom II 550x2 using AAC, what to use?

[Reefer86]

hi guys just got a 550x2 just wanted to see if i could unlock some cores, worth a try i guessed.
in the options i have

setting : auto,per core, all cores

if i select per core i can set %'s what do these mean and what do they do?

whats the best to set or is it just process of elimination?

Generally auto is the best but some boards use weird combo's to unlock the cores stable. I haven't heard much about the DFI boards luck with unlocking cores but I'd check http://csd.dficlub.org/forum/index.php just to see what you can find about your board.

tried on auto AAC and i get blue screens when booting into windows. Guess im not lucky

Same result I had man, try the way I suggested, set the speed to 2 ghz and do it from within the OS.

You can have 2 cores running slower then the other 2, see if that stabilises it.

2 3.8 cores and 2 2.5 cores maybe?

Somewhere I read that you need to set HT freq or NB freq to 1.6Ghz for the unlocked cores to work properly or even windows boot up without BSOD. Just change to that setting and set the ACC to auto.
