#ASUS M4A88TD V EVO USB3 8 CORE UNLOCKER HOW TO#
Users can determine how to implement this innovative technology by sliding a switch on the motherboard, changing a BIOS setting, or simply pressing the “4” key when the machine first starts.

In seconds you can maximize your system performance and tackle those intensive processing applications with ease. With the removal of ACC from the newly introduced 890GX chipset, ASUS’ new Core Unlocker Technology intelligently scans the installed processor to properly determine which cores and cache can be unlocked*. Previous generation solutions relied on AMD’s Advanced Clock Calibration (ACC) technology for core unlocking and did not always unlock the core and cache intelligently. Additionally, as part of the Xtreme Design line-up, the M4A89GTD PRO Series delivers exceptional reliability and performance.Ī Simple Way to Boost Performance with Core Unlocker

Thanks to their Core Unlocker Technology, you can still unlock those cores and the process is even easier than it was before!ĪSUS continues its innovation leadership with the first AMD 890GX based motherboards featuring SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.0**, and exclusive core unlocking technology. Now that ACC is gone there is still a way to unlock those cores on a 890GX board, the trick is that you have to buy a board that comes from ASUS. Not every processor has a working disabled core which is how luck comes into the equation, though with a little patience and an accommodating store you might be able to return processors until you get one that works. Of course, the reason that ACC is so popular is that it enables a lucky few to enable the disabled core on X3 models of Phenom II or Athlon II processors or turn a Sempron into an Athlon X2. Here at PC Perspective we have talked quite a bit about Advanced Clock Calibration, Josh first mentioned ACC in his review of the 790GX in September of 2008.

If you have picked up a new 890GX based AMD motherboard you might have noticed something missing from the BIOS.
