Yes but, it doesnt change specification to Phenom II X4 B50 Like others i still have Phenom II X2 550 after changing all, its weird. Everyone got system boot failure etc. when its broken. I stary normally my system but still got 2 cores. I Could record all of the changing process and booting, and upload it if its help.

How sure are you the two locked cores are viable? On the Gigabyte board I have laying around I was playing with unlocking a Sempron to two cores. It was successful but every time I rebooted it was back to a single core CPU. I discovered there was a bios line item called "Hybrid firmware" that need to be enabled in order for it to retain the unlocked core configuration in ACC.

Could you take a digital camera pic of that section (ACC) of the bios and attach it with a post?
To attach a pic with a post, first crop and save the pic to disc if it includes surrounding irrelevant territory. In other words, we don’t want to see your whole desktop. That just shrinks down the important stuff we need to see so that it may not be legible. Snipping Tool in Windows Accessories is great for this. Then click on Go Advanced at the bottom of any new post window. When the advanced post window appears, click on the little paperclip tool at the top. This will load the file browser/up-link tool and the rest will be obvious.

Well, you've tried 8 already. There isn't a 9? If not, you'll just have to wait until Gigabyte comes up with a new one or get another motherboard. There just may not be an solution to this problem. You may need to go with another board. I think ASRock seems to make boards that have an effective core unlocker. The 970 extreme 3 would be appropriate for your CPU and it's not that costly.

If i recall it good, i had this issue with my Phenom II x2 555 once, even after several restart Computer properties was reading it as 2 core while CPU_Z was reading as 4 core.
Even Prime95 was reading and using only 2 cores while trying to stress.
Once I changed computer Power Setting to High Performance and restarted, everything got resolved. Give it a try once if you have not done that before and make sure one more time that Cool&Quiet, C1E and Hardware Thermal Control is off in your BIOS.

Yo, i have disable Cool&Quiet, C1E , where i can change Power Setting to High Performance? Also, after make changes in BIOS ACC etc. My computers boot diffrent he starts->windmill accelerates-> windmill release-> windmill accelerates->Windows boot. When ACC is for Dual Core, computer starts like that windmill accelerates->Windows boot.
@Edit:
Maybe i have good one for OC im now at 3.8 and highest temp is 55 C at Boxing cooling
