BEFORE YOU SET ACC ( Advanced Clock Calibration ) TO AUTO AND TRY TO UNLOCK YOUR CPU DO THE FOLLOWING:
#1. Turn off Cool N Quiet
#2. Boost your vcore by .05v
#3. Do not touch your CPU's multiplier or try to OC/tweak your system in any way, shape, form or fashion
#4. Be prepared to lose the ability to monitor your CPU temps per core as in most cases this happens when a CPU is unlocked
#5. Be prepared for the reality that you are not guaranteed an unlockable CPU no matter what motherboard, bios or CPU stepping you have
If you have not tried the above tips do not post your results untill you do.
Just because you unlock your CPU does not change the fact its trying to use the VID for an X2 or X3, your stock voltage will not change when you unlock your CPU which means your system tries to power a 125w CPU with the same vcore used for an 80 - 95w CPU. Also Cool N Quiet follows the same rules and tries to use reduced VID's for X2 and X3 CPU's and not your newly acquired X4.
Once you get your new X4 to boot into windows you can go into the bios and slowly lower your vcore untill you find the min voltage you can use and still be stable but it seems some otherwise sucessful unlocks are being reported as fails because people do not compensate for the extra power thier CPU is now trying to take in or you can start your OverClocking endeavors in which case the extra .05v isn't going to hurt anything
