I would like to know this too.
Anyway I've tried F1 version and I can see now 3 cores and L3, but it's not stable, sometimes it will boot with 2 cores, sometimes with 3 cores, but the L3 remains activated in both cases

Hi All

Yes, I confirm - bios need to have following description: "Add CPU core control option".

After I checked the website, so far, bios'es for MA770T-UD3, MA770T-UD3P, MA785GT-UD3H, MA785GMT-UD2H/US2H, MA790X-UD4P & MA790FXT-UD5P support this.

And you can enable these cores not only in BIOS but also under EasyTune 6 (ET6) software:
Tuner -> Advanced -> Core Boost : Enabled, then the system will reboot for updating BIOS of EC firmware and will be ready for unleash the hidden CPU cores.

Now you will be able to enable Core 2 and / or Core 3 under ET6

As I noted in the other thread, I don't think the unlocked cores are necessarily designated as Core 2 or Core 3 so this may not help folks with 1 "bad" unlocked core. After unlock the "bad core" may be Core 0 or 1, which you can't disable.  Sad

Thank you very much.I will test it tomorrow and i will post what happened. Smiley

EDIT: Unfortunately my bad core is core 0... I wonder why in the new bios you can disable only core 2 and core 3.In riva tuner is the same story... I hope this will be fixed Smiley

I have the GA-MA785GMT-UD2H.
I the BIOS released say that F4A BIOS have new CPU Core Control option.
I updated. Then in turn BIOS to Hybrid and ACC as Enable (all or individual), qhen i save the modifications (F10) and turned on the PC, nothing occur. Then i enter in BIOS again the modifications not saved (ACC is turned off).
Don't appear nothing in BIOS like as CPU Core Control option.

Where it appear?

In previous BIOS release (F3) the unlock functioned normally, but don't post, becouse one core is not good.

In the ACC menu it should appear but only when the cpu is with 4 cores(or with 3).

What?
But mine is 4 cores. I can umblock in previous F3 BIOS release, but is unstable.
In F4A is not possíble to umblock... and de CPU Core Control dont appear... and when i try to umblock, when i save modifications (F10) the ACC return to "turned Off".
I don't understand why.

Yours is not 4 cores, right?
I think that with the new BIOS the PC is very unstable with 4 cores unlocked and the motherboard loads safe settings of the BIOS.The Cpu control option is only availble with the new bios so you can't do anything.Wait for another BIOS to try or ask somebody else.That's just my opinion.Good luck!
