Hello there. Unlocked processors are processors that are unlocked to custom tune the processor settings. If the processor is unlocked, you can adjust the power, voltage, core, memory settings, and other key system values for more performance. It helps speed up your components—and your gameplay. It can also help with processor-intensive tasks such as image rendering and transcoding. For locked processors, the processor settings can't be custom tuned.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Locked processors multipliers cannot be modified in the BIOS to overclock the processor to higher speeds while the unlocked processors have the ability to be overclocked in the BIOS because those parameters are unlocked and can be modified to overclock the processor. You might want to consider a high-end cooling system for those types of chips if you plan on doing that. Something like liquid cooling for the CPU.
