Unlocking Athlon II X3 to Phenom II X4

[monkey]

I just upgraded my system to Athlon II X3 440 with Asus M4N98TD EVO MoBo. My system was able to boot fine the very first time and I was able to unlock 4th core of my Proc. But instead of Athlon II X4 (as expected) the processor shows as Phenom II X4 B40. Is it OK? I thought Phenoms were Athlons with L3 cache enabled.
Also is there any method to revert back to Athlon II X3 from here? Will simple BIOS reset do the job?

Did you use Cpu-Z to check it out??

CPU-Z too shows processor as Phenom II X4 B40. L3 cache is not available though.

^^ is it stable as Phenom II X4 B40 - if so then why reverse it as you are getting the power of one additional processing core.

if you still want to reverse it back to x3 - yes a simple bios reset should do it.

BTW, update your siggy.
