Which MB unlock the 4 cores on Phenom 550BE ??

MohawkAngel · Dec 28, 2009

I just wanted to upgrade the next year my motherboad and wanted one that is able to unleash the power of my Phenom X2 550BE AM3. I can have a stable overclock up to 3.7gigs for now ut i think that 3.7gigs on a quad core phenom would be greater.
The motheboard need also to have onboard video card high resolution with HDMI port-DVI dual link, gigabit lan, sound, satas, firewire maybe but not necessary.
I always bought Asus but if you have any opthr suggestions with links to the company website let me know. Thanx

Both the motherboards in my specs unlocked my 550 without problems. Before you buy a new board, do you know for sure whether or not your 550 unlocks?

Pretty much any AM3 board has an unlocking feature. What is the catch is not all processors unlock and if they do the unlocked cores may not be stable and/or defective.

C2 and C3 makes no difference in unlocking.

Is there any other reason to buy a new board?

I was planning to go with Asus since I have it it is a good overclocker but also wanted to unlock the CPU.Instead of buying a new cpu its better to buy a motherboard to unlockthe power of my phenom then one day change the phenom for a 6 cores.
but for not yes this is the reason and because im stuck with display port instead of hdmi. wanna have hdmi and unlock the phenom....2 first reasons to change the mobo
