Just wondering if i unlock my Phenom II 550be to quad core do i still submit results as if its still a 550be dual core or submit as a qquad core?

I would like to clear this a bit more...

I don't like my submissions to be reported, so... the question is:

We have an Phenom II X2 550BE...

We unlock it to quad core but we disable two cores as per below attached screenshot...

http://www.hwbot.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=1353&stc=1&d=1348875005

Can we submit results to X2 category let's say for wprime32m?

For benches that use only one core as pifast & spi1m i think there is no problem,

But is it acceptable to submit results to other benchmarks that use multiple cores?

Since we use only 2 cores i think it is legal but i prefer to clear it out first before i submit results...

Anyone pls?

This is my recent spi1m submission including all the above... is it OK to submit all other results to X2 category?

Can I ask why you bother to unlock if you're just going to use it as a dual anyway?

 

EDIT- Nevermind. Probably just picking the 2 highest clocking cores and disabling the other two.

Correct... I was searching for the best core on chip when doing this... I unlocked it, and i kept only the two original cores enabled... that done by "mistake" however i found that after that the two original cores had more efficiency :)

Yes, that is perfectly allowed. You can choose the best two cores for your 2xCPU benchmark result :).
