Do note that not all cpus worked stable and reliably with unlocked cores. I remember trying it on my X3 and had crashes and bsods, so in that case it wasn't merely a product choice, but X4s that didn't pass qc, but with one core off they did. You just got lucky, as many did, but there was a reason it was sold as an X3.
