    Nice to see they fixed the spelling on "OC Dial" before it hit the shelves

    Nice looking board... that's the one I want to get I think. Although all that ram timings is bound to confuse me!

    Can anyone verify if the 4th core on X3 720 BE can be unlocked using ACC on this board?

    The general concensus is that all manufacturers are patching thie bios's to not enable the 4th core.......what this means is that although you can unlock a chip on an older bios you will be missing out on the fixes patches and performance tweaks of the newer bios.......basically you will have no support.....

    I understand the issue with no support but most people almost never have to update the bios short of a critical system issue.

    I just need to know if the current bios that comes with the mobo can support 4th core unlocking as I already have a working 4 core X3.

    Besides, we can count on bios modders to rescue us should we need to update to a newer bios.

    I'd consider the lack of being able to clock the NB a critical system issue

    Dude, with all due respect. I am only looking for a simple answer

    You look for NB clocking, I look for 4th core unlocking. There's no need to educate me on your interests.

    Anyone else can verify 4th core unlocking with this MSI mobo?

    Actually, this is still being completed as further details will be added in the upcoming BIOS update.
