OCWorkbench have more info about unlocking the 4th core of an X3 CPU. ASROck has first AMD 780G+SB710 board that unlocks the 4th core from AM3 X3 710 processor. The board's model name is ASRock. With P1.10 BIOS, we can just set the AOD ACC open to Auto in BIOS. After a system reboot, the 4th core appears. Any OCAU people had any luck with unlocking their 4th cores? I'm surprised this isn't a bigger story.
