Can i unlock the 4th core with an ASRock nVidia GeForce 7025 & nForce 630a Micro ATX DDR3 1600 AM3 Motherboard (N68-VS3 UCC) motherboard?

Yes you can, that Asrock board has Core Unlock (called UCC by Asrock) which means you can unlock the fourth core. Just remember that while I've seen as high as 70% unlocks with that CPU that still means that 1 core in 4 is actually bad as opposed to shut off for marketing. Considering how nicely this chip runs you either get a very fast triple or a very cheap quad for your money, win/win in my book as it really is a great chip, even games well.

Yes, you can use that motherboard with this CPU. It's an AM3+ socket CPU and the motherboard has that socket type. Gigabyte makes good mobos, as well.

Yes. But you have to update the motherboard. It won't recognize it otherwise and it will crash the system without updating

No you can't. This is an AMD CPU Motherboard. You need one that has Intel socket...

The Asus support site for this board will have a list of compatible processors. You'll need to add a video card if you pick a CPU without on-board graphics.

The answer to your question is yes. You can find the compatible processors in this link: http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/990FX%20Extreme4/?cat=CPU

This is one is unlockable. Not sure if possible on all of them; it is in mine at least. Mine it's sporting the full six cores on an Asrock 990FX Extreme3. Check for the UCC section under the CPU/OC at UEFI/BIOS. I originally got an Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0 but they dropped their Unlocking Core feature. So I got the Asrock one and it just works like a charm. Windows won't recognize what model it is once the processor is unlocked. But if you use CPU-Z you'll realize it's read as a Phenom II x6 1605T with a Max TDP of around 165W. Recommendations: -Make sure your PSU has wattage enough if you have several peripherals plugged in to your Mobo. -Although this one has a stock cooler (I never used it), you better get an aftermarket one to run it silently; air on 120mm is advised, -specially if you're overclocking. Hope this helps, and good luck :D

The ASRock 970DE3/U3S3 motherboard supports the FD4100WMW4KGU which is an OEM/tray microprocessor. The FD4100WMGUSBX is the same microprocessor only as a boxed version with a fan therefore it is also fully supported.

no key, they did god on window. But they mirroed in 64 bit, that failed, I had to change it back to the 32 bit it origanlly was. It still works fine. The mother board can only use 4 ram, even though it has 8 ram in it

Yes you can. But after upgrading it if it not work, you'll need to upgrade the Bios. Then you good to go.

Check for a mother board that has the ability to unlock cores. This chip is.a dual core but 1 is disabled by the manufacturer. This way they sell the same chip as 2 products. Buy this, unlock, and you have the more expensive dual core for the single core price.

I'm not entirely sure but I'm almost positive that this late in the game the board should come with a Bios that will recognize your AM3+ processor. You can also go to the Overclock.net forums, they have the " Gigabyte GA-990FXA-Series Owners Thread/Club " and post your concerns and in no time you should have a reliable answer. Good luck, I myself am thinking of buying this board also.

Yes. It supports up to 4. Source: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-760/specifications

At least two. Could be four depending on the chip you purchased. If you will check the original shipping list that came with your machine, unless it says quad core. you only have two.

No. But you CAN use an unlocked processor with this board and take full advantage of the board's excellent built-in overclocking features that are in the BIOS.

Yes you can. The motherbord has an AM3+ socket and the core socket is AM3+. Is a really good cpu tho

I don't believe so.........the motherboard will support certain Core 2 Duo CPUs but not Quad Core CPUs.
