by rite u aint need to do anything in bios, just set d core unlocker switch to ON, as simple as that. if things not turnin out d way it supposed to be, it means 2 things:

1. u have bad cores
2. double check d core control under bios, check whether core 3 & core 4 are disabled

i never touch d core activation... but it's gud to double check as always...

week is d key... 1003 & 1004 did quite well imo, not so sure d rest coz i lost track of it since then. owned a 1003gpbw, did pretty ok but still failed in prime stable @ 4GHz.

yeah, there's no other way to know d batch of a chip other than checkin d codes engraved on d ihs...

u dun see acc in bios, if u see, something is wrong. core unockin is as easy as turnin on d switch & set core activation to auto in bios. if happened u have bad core(s) but bootable, that's when u'll use manual in core activation.

core activation is core activation, acc is acc, there's no acc on ya board. if u've done d steps mentioned earlier (core unlocker switch on, core activation = auto in bios), then it's obvious that u have bad cores which can't even get activated. note: there is core(s) that can be unlocked but not stable in windows. apart from that, try not to set core activation = manual & enable core 5 & core 6, u wont be able to boot up normally iirc, hence, auto is more recommended unless u disable those bad/non existin core(s)...
