Core #2 unlocked on Athlon II 170u
2012-06-19 10:22:05 Posted by: igor.precep
Athlon II 170u with unlocked Core #2 on motherboard ASRock N68-VS3 UCC (via BIOS version P1.10 & P1.20 with UCC option in BIOS) now recognized as 2-core Athlon II X2 270u (by motherboard BIOS) or Athlon II X2 270 (by CPU-Z 1.60.1). Tested in all sort of applications for few days and stressed with Prime95 for few hours without single one problem. CPU is working stabile on 2x 2GHz without VCore raised up, VCore is left as it is in BIOS (Auto).
