Can you unlock 2 more cores on the Phenom II X4 955?

Hi guys, I'm new here so I apologize if this question has been asked before.

I just watched the recent "build a budget PC" video on YouTube, and it mentioned the AMD Phenom II X4 955 as a viable option. Basically, can you unlock 2 more cores on the AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition?

Does it only work with some CPUs, but not on others?

Thanks!

 

it only works on a select few

and you have to have a motherboard which can enable it

The answer to your question, is no. The 955 is strictly a quad core CPU. The only quad core CPU you can unlock is the 960T.

The 960T, which I happen to own, and unlocked it to a Phenom II X6 1605T xD

I have 955 BE. It can be unlock into 6cores :grin: with my Asrock mobo. But in my Gigabyte mobo cannot… :sleepy: :disappointed_relieved: :disappointed_relieved:
