Yes, i can do that with msconfig and fix to3 cores, but windows sometimes uses the faulty core.

You can try to use Easy Tune 6 - it has new function to control the cores called Core Boost.

It's explained in page 21 & 22 of presentation found at http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php/topic,907.0.html

Good luck

Thx for your response.

Unfortunally, i don't have this option in easytune (last version installed).
Perhaps the nvidia chipset limitation or not support by amd.

Then try to find NVCC option in BIOS, just enable it and set to auto, that should unlock cores

Unlocking core is ok, but i want to select the cores to unlock (1 of the core is faulty).
