Re: Does your AMD Phenom 2 have hidden cores?
I have seen somewhere that people have bought the x3 cpu's and found that they can unlock the 4th core and overclock and have had no issue's with them.

I think it's just the luck of the draw if you get one that has a good locked core, it's just that it didn't meet with AMD's standards, i have even seen somewhere can't remember now but a overclocking team took a x3 cpu unlocked the 4th core, and overclocked it to nearly 6ghz.
