I have a Phenom II 550 in this mobo, which came with F1 bios. After downloading AMD's overdrive I unlocked the remaining cores and they showed up in ACC. After flashing to F2 They no longer show up as unlocked. Cpu-z reverted to AMD Phenom II x2 550 from x4 B50. This seems to be backwards from all I have read on the subject. The multiplier showed 4 cores on F1, but only 2 with F2. If I am missing something would someone please enlighten me?

Yes, I finally did that. I'm ok except for one thing. Every time I boot up now I get a message that windows just recovered from a serious malfunction. I turned it off? I send a report to MS and get back a page that talks about the bsod...which I didn't get. Weird, but other than that all cores are unlocked and slightly oc'ed. Thanks.

There is another oddity that I forgot about. When I shut down if I click standby it shuts off and won't reboot without unplugging first.

does it happen also when no overclocking but just 4 cores unlocked ?

I have all cores running and no oc. Standby shuts down and won't reboot without unplugging. No message about sys recovery. That tells me a little bit, but I don't know what. I normally just build'em and run'em. This is the first time I've tried to get fancy. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Wots, uh...the deal?

I don't recall trying to use standby with f1.
