I paired the AMD Phenom II X4 960T Zosma with a brand new Gigabyte motherboard ,, and a new case with power supply and nvidia graphics card ,, all new from newegg,,, I used 1 of the several hard drives I had,,,, and I loaded the OS from a Flash drive ,, My new build has no CD/DVD drive ,,, makes it kinda hard to load drivers ,, unless you put them on the flash drive aswell,,,
Unlocking the extra cores is done in the bios setup ,,, and it not 100% ,,,, google is your friend,,,,
Keep on aRockin',,,,,,
