Hello guys! I recently bought a 960t and I know those are hit and miss for the unlock of the 2 cores and their stabilities.

I've seen people being able to unlock 1 core only.

My problem is, in my bios (MSI 870-G45) I have a simple enable/disable for the core unlock and even after I'm stuck at 4 cores.

Am I really out of luck with this chip? Or am I doing something wrong? (I still managed to hit 3.7)

Thanks!
 
Best chance at unlocking would be by starting at stock, Reset cmos and try unlocking again. If unsuccesfull try up'ing the voltage a little...surely this must be in the guides.
 
If someone could lock this thread. It succesfully unlocked, I went to work and came back with 6 cores.
