Lmeow's guess would be mine, too - at startup, the BIOS 'polls' everything - pretty much says: "are you all present and accounted for?" - anybody 'don't show up for work', we proceed without 'em! Though the ACC is shrouded in mystery, I have a pseudocoded doc on the AGESA start-up routine that...

This sounds like somthing that requires a bug report to GB tech support... While they do have a caveat at their support page: Auto Unlock Support Experience a phenomenal performance upgrade with GIGABYTE’s innovative Auto Unlock technology that unleashes your system’s hidden performance...

Not meant as a 'rip'; simply a (cogent, I hope) observation, to help people avoid obvious problems - and obviously, everyone is certainly welcome to go to hell in their own chosen handbasket! This is simply one of those posts that I see over and over again, like flashing with @BIOS, or OCing...

I guess, at heart, I'm just not a gambler - I'm more of a "belt, suspenders, and a safety pin" type!

OK - as this is about the fifth post about the same thing - core 'unlocking', I feel obligated to finally post something that someone may read in advance of screwing around with it... Unless you value your time at absolutely nothing, if you want a four core CPU, pay for a four core CPU - you'll...
