Please help, unlocking cores phenom ii x2 555be on asrock mb
My new build:
asrock 870 extreme3 MB
amd phenom ii x2 555 be
4 gb (2x2) g.skills ripjaw ram 1600
hyper 212+ aftermarket cooler
Radeon HD 5770
Fata1ity 550w psu
asus dvd burner
samsung 1tb hard drive
After putting the parts together it booted up and loaded win7x64 with nary a problem.
I was hoping to unlock the other 2 cores.
The mother board has turbo ucc which tries to unlock them automatically with one button (x) on startup, but when i activate ucc the computer will not boot, freezes with a blank screen and i have to clear the cmos to boot.
I have tried bumping up the cpu voltage slightly, but that has not helped.
I assume this means at least one of the other cores are bad, but would like to try unlocking to a triple core.
In the bios there is the Asrock UCC. If I enable it the computer will not boot. Black screen, does not get to the video card.
There is also a CPU Active Core Control.
It has 2 options, enable and disable.
If I enable CPU Active Core Control, It only shows 2 cores, Core 0, Core 1.
It does not show the other 2 cores or give me the option of enabling the other 2 cores.
It does not have the option "All cores".
I can not find how to individually enable Core 2 and Core 3 to test the individual cores or possibly unlock to a 3 core cpu.
Here is a link to the manual:
http://download.asrock.com/manual/870 Extreme3.pdf
on page 42 it describes the cpu Active Core Control, and says the default value is "all cores". I only have options of enable/disable as i mentioned above.
my bios is ver 1.6, which appears to be the latest.
I downloaded and flashed the bios, ver 1.6, from the asrock web site.
No change in the options, I still do not have an option for "all cores"
I can not find anything about Advanced Clock Calibration in the Bios or the manual.
any help appreciated.
Thanks again
