Default Unlocking cores on MSI boards made easy!

MSI has implemented their "Unlock CPU Core Function" in most of their AMD motherboards ( I will see if I can post a list of all the mobos )

On these screen shots I am working with a 790GX-G65 with 1.5 bios and am able to easily unlock a 550 BE to triple and quad core processor...

Thanks to MSI for these BIOS options and their help...

MSI was kind enough to let me post CPU and motherboard support lists and they have been made available from MSI on my blog with up to date info on the topic

you can view it here


Its very easy just select a few bios options:

1st - go to cell menu


2nd - select Unlock CPU Core to Enable and Advanced Clock Calibration to Auto


3rd - If you want a Triple core - select your cores in CPU Core Control






Triple core unlock



Fully Unlocked "Quad"
