Hi guys...

I Just bought the AMD Athlon X3 445, I heard that an extra core can be unlocked in this one...

So, please give me proper instructions so that I can unlock the extra core (My mobo supports core unlocking -- http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM2Plus/M4A78LM_LE/ )...

Please help...

Go to BIOS(hit 'Del' during boot), go to "Advanced"> "CPU configuration", turn on ACC(Advanced Clock Calibration) to 'auto' and enable Unleashing mode. Save & Exit(hit 'F10'). Alternative method is hitting '4' during boot.
