From Intel to AMD & my first AMD Build

[Rockfella]

Bought these yesterday and posting from it

Mainboard: Gigabyte GA78LMT USB3 (Highlights: Bigger than Matx size, the length is matx and its as wide as an ATX), onboard HDMI, USB3 (with USB3 header onboard to connect to the front USB3 panel). This works with a 8pin power connector and overclocks decently. All solid caps

CPU : AMD Phenom II X2 560 (Black Edition) It's a hidden quad lol, if i'm lucky :ashamed:
Ram: Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4GB (single stick, 9-9-9-24)

Congrats... do let us know if you are able to unlock the additional cores

Bought the same processor, was able to unlock and run it on 3 cores. The fourth core was not stable and system was hanging during boot up. Did not troubleshoot further happy with a triple core.

Thanks guys. Tried 4 ghz with no issues, stock cooler and voltages. Ran some tests for few minutes. Will try to unlock extra cores later.
