Default Gigabyte MA790X-UD4P (unlocking fourth core)
Is there any risk to damaging the hardware in my case if I tried to unlock the fourth core? I've heard of possible BSOD, etc...but not of my hardware becoming damaged...before I tinker with it, I need to know. I am running stock speed on a Phenom II 720 and use a Dark Knight CPU cooler...

from what I heard there is no risk, but keep in mind that the newer Bios won't allow for the unlocking of the 4th core

Use F5 bios and then try. Just enable ACC, leave it at auto and enable hybrid.
