Does this mobo support CPU core unlocking? is there a core unlocking option in the BIOS?

I think you're looking for something like this:

Watch this review, that talks about the potential of unlocking and overclocking:
Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition - CPU Review. Would you get this CPU to try unlocking all 4 cores and overclock it?

Read this: Anandtech Review talking something similar to what's discussed in the above video:
Unlocking the Phenom II X2 555: 3.2GHz Quad-Core for $99

Cheers!

Seems like you can. People in Overclockers.net forum claim so.

can the ASUS M5A97 unlock cores?

The M5A97 does, but in R2 the setting was removed from BIOS.

Yes, after searching the web for information, it seems like nobody has succeeded so far in unlocking the cores with this board. Because ASUS has blocked this feature on all R2.0 motherboards.
