I don't know if I mentioned it or not, but after unlocking the other cores, there was a bit of voltage leak to the CPU (I'm assuming that's what it was) which caused a digital ticking noise (which I lost a bit of sleep due to it that night). I stepped up the frequency level from -2% to 0% to see if it changed anything, but it didn't seem like it.
Anyway, I left it on last night to see if anything would happen, and I didn't hear anything at all. There's only a slight digital "screeching" noise now, but I actually have to put my ear next to the case to hear it.
Cool! Now I don't have to switch the PSU off to kill the voltage leak.
It was a bit annoying, since I had to boot into openSUSE, then reboot for it to pick up my Wifi card. Now that I don't have to switch the PSU off, I don't have to do the boot-reboot thing now.
Awesome!
Just need to test 12.1 on it somehow before making it an official install. Wish I had a... Wait... I think I can borrow an unstable SATA drive from my friend... I'll have to remember that later.
