I heard a lot articles of unlocking Amd processors, but i still don't understand the mean of unlocking it. (SOrry to ask i'm a newbie here) Will it proform better? If so how do u do it? In the Forums i heard that there are new model processors from amd that can't be unlocked. It's the ones with the red die.

Do you know what the multiplyer and fsb are? unlocking allows you to select any multiplyer not just the pre-set one, if you don't know what these are I'll explain

If the board doesn't have the options and only goes off what it detects on the cpu then it isn't easy to change the multiplyer, it involves cutting bridges on the top of the core.

The pencil trick is for conecting up the L1 bridges which disables the multiplyer lock, but this is only for boards with multiplyer options.
I'll have to go find some information on changing the multiplyer with the birdges so back in a bit.
