What scares me:
How good is this "unlock"?
How reliable is the AUSU BIOS at the detection of an unlockable CPU?
Could this be part of my "sleep?" problem?

You would know when to stop playing with ACC when the system became
unstable. Just remember that this "unlock" thing and its consequences
are NOT the responsibilities of AMD.


The four cores could be tested with Prime95 stress test, to determine if all
the cores are good. That is not as good as the testing they do at the
factory, but it is better than just blindly accepting that the cores work.
Prime95 multi-threaded version can be downloaded from mersenne.org/freesoft .

I saw some comments about unlock functions, in this article yesterday.

The whole thing is a lottery, but it's fun to win.

With regard to finding a solution for a "sleep" function, you could either
check vip.asus.com for other customer comments, or look in the Newegg
reviews and see if the problem is a common one.

It would appear at least one version of the BIOS for the board, is half
baked and should be avoided. And I've only read a few threads on vip so
far :-)
