I have been looking around on the internet quite a bit, and I have found that this CPU is an x6 with 2 cores disabled. I am currently having problems with bottlenecking on my GTX 660, and I was originally going to get a completely new system but if I could unlock it to an x6 that should be enough for another 2 years. The only problem is the the motherboard seems to have everything locked up, virtually no options in the bios. Is there any other way it could be unlocked?

This is an HP Pavilion P6720f that was bought late 2010, and has had a few changes over the past 3 years.
