ASUS Core Unlocker Not working?

[andrewb7]

I got a asus m4a87T motherboard with a phenom II x 2 555 3.2 ghz cpu....I tried running core unlocker to get a quad core, and instead of saying " 4 cores activated" ,,,it still says " 2 cores activated"

Not sure what to do, I tried doing it manually in the bios. That still didnt work. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks

Updat the bios firmware to the latest.

in the bios, Did you...
Activate 'All Cores' in Advanced Clock Calibration?
Enabled "Unleashing Mode" ?
Set "Active CPU Cores" to 4?
and , probably best to start their value as 0%
Disabled cool n quiet and c1e?

I have the lastest bios installed. And I notcied in videos of people doing it that they had the settings of " Unleashing mode " and " advanced clock calibration" ... But the thing is ,I dont have those settings :s ?

I believe one of the 2xxx BIOSs may help you. Issues with unlocking on the most current have popped up from time-to-time ...

 

[andrewb7]

What do you mean 2xxx BIOSs? because Im not the biggest computer wiz hahaa.

 

[Wisecracker]

That would be the BIOS release number .... try an earlier release, i.e., v217 or v301.

I tried it...still same issue :l

Maybe those cores can't be unlocked!

Why do you think AMD locked them? You have around 30% chance to get those cores stable....

Then you need to find out which motherbd you really have because I have that motherbd in my livingroom HTPC and those options are there. They are on the advanced tab under cpu configuration if I remember right.

Even when it boots up is says press 4 or f4 (i forget) for Core Unlocker

go into the bios ur self and turn on as enable acc / advanced core calibration. Also that motherboard has core unlocker, so ur doing something wrong, not trying to be mean lol

Maybe when hitting the f4 to activate core unlocker its basically saying that the two extra cores rnt stable and cant be used, but I'd still try the bios way of enabling it.

Not even close.

If you don't have anything constructive to post, why bother?
