The first thing you have to understand is that Sam bought this crappy pair of chips for chump change that he's transformed into monsters just thru his tralents and persistance.
Yea Sam,Kudo's to you!

Next, yes, uncore is unlocked with B1 chips but not with B0's..

This is how it goes when one learns from the best. I personally have learned a lot from your great pioneer efforts on double-socket platform. This is a new world with many existing and unexplored terrorists that you have been exploring and sharing with us .
I member you were very exited talking about some strange jumps in VVT-requirements in certain BCLKs. I've used your important findings as a fomentation for ideas about how to exploit this new chipset (and how these CPUs communicate with each other) to get the best out of these CPUs. I'm still not sure what exactly is happening, but it is both existing and promising, and I believe it can go even further with your pushes, experience and great pioneer efforts.

any help is appreciated as you can see in the picture. I have the B1 stepping and the uncore is still lock at 20x no matter what I do in the bios ..

FYI, I'm fighting cancer and this is close to number 100th PC that I built over 10 years

I think EVGA needs to deliver a better BIOS for unlocking the Uncore properly. They have done something and some aspect of it seams to be working for some, at least partially, but I think it is not complete yet.
I remember, in good old days, GA UD7 BIOS-team had released a BIOS and said they had applied Intel's new microcode, but it didn't work in first attempt. They tried a couple of times and finally got a it right with BIOS F6h (or later). I guess there is something tricky there that BIOS-programmers need to work on.

I was playing with the new HW-info and discovers this. According to this, Intel's new microcode is not updated, but you need it to unlock the Uncore on these CPUs. Maybe this got something to do with my A0's, but maybe you can check it too?
