The i3 2120 cannot be unlocked at all. It uses a different, smaller die. It is physically different. The multiplier is also locked, so any overclocking is almost impossible. Sorry. A Guy

sorry if u mis understood the question, but i mean that i think there are certain motherboards that can unlock the multiplier

No, I understood. there are no MBs that can do that since it can't be done :) I don't believe that you would want to overclock using the FSB on a Sandy Bridge CPU of any kind. I found this:
Core i3-2120 and Core i3-2100 Processors ReviewCore i3 processors do not support Turbo Boost as well as increasing the multiplier above the nominal value. And keeping in mind that LGA1155 platform reacts very negatively to the base clock frequency changes, Core i3-2120 and Core i3-2100 turns out to be fatally unoverclockable and are destined to work only at their declared nominal frequency. And of course, Intel has no plans to roll out any special CPU modifications with unlocked multipliers in this price range. In other words, overclockers won’t be able to do anything with Core i3, so these processors will hardly be of any interest to them.
