Hello
I have got a new motherboard, and one that can finally overclock and do core unlocking.
I've already tried using the core unlock feature on the bios, and it booted up to Windows fine with 4 cores. However, unlocking cores messes up the core temp sensors (core temp shows the cores a 80-82 degrees C, which is silly). On HW monitor the TMPIN2 goes through the roof at about 90ish degrees. Also CPU-Z only shows the core clock at 800mhz, and when prime95 is run it doesn't seem to clock higher, although the all CPU meter does show the CPU clock at 3.3ghz. What I would like to know is which temp gauges on HW monitor should I trust and is what CPU-Z saying about core clock right? If so I'm assuming some more voltage is needed or do I turn off cool'n quiet? I'm running on the stock cooler so I don't want to overdo it.
Thanks for any help
