As far as my source.....laughable?

You seriously can't just expect me to drop a name or drag someone in here........take or leave it for what its worth....but ACC is not designed for PH II and PH II is not designed to work with ACC........whatever the bios guys and motherboard manufacturers are doing I have no clue.....makes little sense to me.....I can see patches for existing support for am2+ boards making sense........the AM3 boards are making no sense......I believe most of the patches are killing the ability to use the extra core though so that should tell you something in itself.

Btw yes ACC enables a core on my asus with a specific bios, disable ACC and the chip runs smooth as butter and is very responsive......enable it and I have to fight with the board the entire time to do what I want to do.......ya ya its a bad core.....does more than my 940 so it's not that bad ......it at least boots over 1.6v on air.
No I don't expect you to drop a name, but unless AMD gives out info in public clearly stating ACC isn't working A link from a trustworthy website with a "anonymous" source from AMD would be enough for me.

Also that the new BIOSes doesn't allow people to activate the 4th Core, is because AMD kindly requested all motherboard manufacturers to make this change to ACC, cause they didn't like the idea of people buying X3's and unlocking them, I thaught everyone knew about this? So no it doesn't tell me something in itself.

And you said it yourself you have no idea what the AM3 manufacturers are doing implementing ACC.

And as we can see ACC is working for this guy, he does gain stability from it, hes clock was unstable until he used ACC.
