It's really just luck of the draw. Your motherboard plays an important role as well. What board are you using?

Thanks for the answer Ethan. Actually i am building a new budget system and i haven't bought any motherboard yet. I suppose something from Gigabyte of maybe Asrock (for first time) which is said that unlock with good chances will be my choice i guess. Any suggestion or help will be appreciated!! I am interested to buy a compo if someone wants to make any change!!!

You're asking to buy a CPU in the wrong section, you need 100 posts in order to access buy/sell. Pretty sure you should come back when you have said posts.

Yeap need 100 posts for entering buy/sell section but i am asking for some suggestions from owners that have succeed in unlocking all 4 cores from dual cores cpus to tell me their compo..I am going to buy a second hand compo if someones wants to sell but as i don't believe i will find anyone i am going to buy a new one and i need some suggestions. I have read it is a matter of luck but i want to get the better chances by learning as much as possible
