Well, the title says it all, I've tried unlocking it in the past once or twice but I feel like i'm doing something wrong, as i see a lot of things about EC firmware and ACC being used.
If anyone could guide me through it as i'm not entirely sure if i'm doing it wrong or i'm just out of luck.

Thanks for your responses in advance.

ACC is an acronym for Advanced Clock Calibration, the term most other BIOS writers use for unlocking CPU cores. I think your BIOS refers to the unlocking process as "CPU Core Control" (page 3-20 of the .pdf manual - downloadable from the link provided by henydiah).

Note that there is no guarantee that you'll be able to use one or both of the hidden cores, but if by unlocking them your system becomes unstable, try increasing the vcore voltage, one step at a time, but you shouldn't go any higher than 1.4V.

Well when I try to unlock them my system doesn't start and I have to clear the Cmos to get the system to boot up, so I was figuring I was doing something wrong.
