Incognito vcores

Well, I got my testbed assembled and it works perfectly, except when it has two processors installed. After a bit of searching online and some messy thermal adhesive cleanup its come to my attention that the vcore stepping and revision must be the same for each CPU. According to what I've read, this vcore stepping and revision are indicated by the last two letters of the processor's model number. In my case I have an AL vcore and and AH vcore. Unfortunately, these don't match :) I've gotta check to see whether MSI offers a BIOS update to support mixed vcores and if not I'm gonna have to trade one for one with a matching vcore. Hopefully I'll have it up and running soon.
