AM3+ motherboards that will unlock cores? How to tell on Newegg?

[JLiRD808]

Just navigating thru Newegg's mobo site and it seems there's no way to discern whether a mobo can unlock cores or not. Im guessing its easy to figure out when u know which chipsets will allow it or not perhaps? What should I be looking for?

I assume UEFI supports core unlocking, yes? How do u guys feel about UEFI? Im on my 4th audio PC build but have been out of the loop for quite some time.

My budgets around $100 if anyone cares to make any suggestions. Trying to unlock a x2 560, see what I can get before I do a FULL upgrade. I need two PCI slots too.

THANKS!!

Try this: http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157280

ASRock's core unlocking feature is called UCC (Unlock CPU Core).

As far as I know, there really isn't a determining factor in the motherboard's description on Newegg. You just have to pick a board, go to manufacturer's product page, then check the manual of the mobo.

Thanks...I'll throw that into the pool!

I was thinking heavily about this one:

AM3+, 2 PCI, UEFI, plenty of SATA 6gb & USB ports (2x3.0)...seems to have all I need/want.

Any issues/drawbacks that anyone sees?

THANKS!!
