Can you unlock the fourth core on a phenom ii x3 black edition cpu with this board?

Yes, but that would probably put it over the 95 watt limitation of the board and make it freeze, crash, sect.

Often the 4th core is not actually damaged, it just doesn't perform quite up to standard during testing. There are ways to enable the extra cores on their desktop cpus, so I am sure the same can be done on the laptop, but I don't know the actual procedure.

Yes, according to the support website linked below. However, it requires a later BIOS version than what may be currently on your board. You may have to flash the BIOS to use it.http://goo.gl/7108ON

It's on the supported CPU list: http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=2842

I'm pretty sure this board isn't what you want. As I recall, the Pentium D CPU is only a DUAL-CORE device.

NO, the 8 core cpu has an AM3+ socket, this motherboard is specific to FM2/FM2+, i believe there is a version of this motherboard with the AM3+ socket, be aware that not all AM3+ motherboards can support the 8 core cpu's due to the 125w tdp. good luck!

Yes you can use any am3 cpu in that board as long as it doesn't exceed 95watts
1788344
Yes. This one is just all one piece while the other is two. As long as your cpu is AM3+ of course

This board only works with FM2 socket AMD processors. It does not work with the phenom processors. For that you need a board that has a AM3 or AM3+ processor socket.

No, you need to buy one separately. This motherboard supports CPUs with an AM3+ socket which includes the FX, Phenom II, Athlon II, and Sempron 100 series. These are all AMD CPUs.

No it can not if u want an overclockable cpu it needs to be K series look for the k at the end of the 4 digit number

The FX processors require a different socket than the Phenom so a new mobo will be required. It also has the video built on to the chip, ok but not the best. Check out Tomshardware.com.

Hi.no,the board does not support that cpu.here's a list of supported processors: http://tinyurl.com/a9oxfwy
1837746
yes, you can if you choose. you'd just have to set the boot order correctly in the BIOS
1188825
Nope. This board only supports these xeon CPU's: Gainestown Xeon W5590 - 3.33 GHz Xeon W5580 - 3.20 GHz Xeon L5530 - 2.40 GHz Xeon E5507 - 2.27 GHz Xeon E5503 - 2.00 GHz Nehalem Xeon X5550 - 2.66 GHz Xeon L5520 - 2.26 GHz Xeon L5506 - 2.13 GHz Xeon E5540 - 2.53 GHz Xeon E5530 - 2.40 GHz Xeon E5520 - 2.26 GHz Xeon E5506 - 2.13 GHz Xeon E5504 - 2.00 GHz Westmere Xeon X5690 - 3.46 GHz Xeon X5680 - 3.33 GHz Xeon X5677 - 3.46 GHz Xeon X5670 - 2.93 GHz Xeon X5667 - 3.06 GHz Xeon X5660 - 2.80 GHz Xeon X5650 - 2.66 GHz Xeon L5640 - 2.27 GHz Xeon L5638 - 2.00 GHz Xeon L5630 - 2.13 GHz Xeon E5649 - 2.53 GHz Xeon E5645 - 2.40 GHz Xeon E5640 - 2.67 GHz Xeon E5630 - 2.53 GHz Xeon E5620 - 2.40 GHz Xeon E5607 - 2.27 GHz Xeon E5606 - 2.13 GHz Xeon E5603 - 1.60 GHz

I honestly dont know which version the board is but I do know that it performs extremely well, I myself have the UD7 in my system and my wife and two kids have the UD5 in theirs and all of them perform really well, combine that with the 965 phenom black processor and its a pretty sweet setup
2128622
Yes, as long as the model ends in 5 or 6 (the CPU must have a built in GPU if you plan on using the onboard video ports). I'm using a Xeon E3-1226 with this board.
