Unlocking A AMD Phenom ll x2 565 B.E.

So, I have this cpu and a ASUS M5A78L with this ''unlocking'' feature! Should I unlock any cores or what, and if, how?

Go for it. Worst case scenario is that you need to CLEAR CMOS to re-lock them if they don't work.

Do i need a better heat sink then? I have the stock one

And how to be aware? Touch on the cpu and feel while it is on or what? Confused
