So i just unlocked my x2 and i want to push it up just wondering if there is a danger in upping the voltage and if so what is a safe voltage
x2 565 to x4 OC

I have never owned a 565 and am not 100% sure, but I would not let your temps exceed 65c. Remember, AMDs are known to give wonky temp readouts. Check BIOS readings rather than software figures. There is no danger as long as you keep it at the right temp and don't exceed 1.5v i would think. Actually not sure on this one, great topic and post, thanks

ok so now i tired to run the windows system rating and it froze half way through ... on stock other then unlocked cores should i up the voltage to regain stability?

ya just froze curser wont move but the rig still sounds fine fans and everything ...

now i ran a stability test and it froze there too ...

the only change i made was unlocking from two cores to four so i put it back to two now looks to be ok

so the triumph of having a quad core was short lived

Hmmm i would suspect something else interfering because I have heard of AMD dual-cores unlocked to quad while giving consistent bench readings and not giving any problem what so ever. Maybe with the unlocking of cores it requires a bit of a boost of voltage to the cpu. Core unlocking is never a guaranteed thing. Some dual-cores are quad-cores downgraded to fill a certain quota. It is also possible that using a x32 OS (32-bit) could have caused the problem

i am using 64 bit i will go into the bios one more time and up the voltage and see what happens back in a bit

first attempt is upping the voltage by .100V

Unlocking instability could be a voltage problem. Do not exceed 65* or 1.5v (1500mV) whichever comes first.
It could also be a bad core in the 2 unlocked. See if you can run a per core stability test (im almost sure they exist), and see which core is giving you trouble. I would venture to guess core 4 if any of them.

my bios only allows me to do four or two so if the problem lies in the forth core it doesn't matter i will need to leave it in 2 core anyways sucks tho i was really looking forward to having a quad core
