I noticed that the CPU WEI score was at 6.9 when I first ran the test. I also looked at my processor in the BIOS which had 3 cores unlocked not the fourth that was available. I manually unlocked the core in the bios, reran the test and the score went to 7.3 after that. I wonder what the reason is for the fourth core being locked out of the box, and by unlocking it am I opening up a can of worms????

iceclock said:
the black edition means that ur processor is unlocked meaning it can be overclocked more easily than a processor which isnt black edition, and u should have all cores unlocked unlocked doesnt mean that one core has been unlocked, all 4 cores should be unlocked by defaultSo since my processor had only 3 cores unlocked out of the box, and I had to manually unlock the forth in the BIOS, is there a problem I should be concerned about?Thanks
