Unlocking Cores on Athlon 7850 Kuma

[HaleyAMD]

I bought a 7850 Black Edition with idea that I might be able to unlock the 3rd and 4th cores..So Far no luck. I have an ASUS 785M bourd with a 710 South Bridge. It has the Asus Core unlocker function..You hit 4 while The Bios is loading and it supposedly unlocks cores somehow. I have donr this several times and when I hit the 4 key the computer shuts off for a second and then begins loading the OS.

Has anyone ever had luck unlocking cores on the Athlon X2 7850 Kuma? Any Suggestions on what to do?

Thank You.....

I suggest looking at:

I believe that article will answer your question: The Kuma is based on the older generation Phenom, not the newer Phenom II. I don't think it supports core unlocking at all.
