ACC help

Last night I went to see if I couldn't unlock the 4th core on my 720BE and my mobo has the ACC feature, however I am unsure which to use. Normally I know you would use hybrid setting, or something along those lines, however the options are:

Off
Per Core
All Cores
Auto

Anyone have an idea which would let the 4th core be used?

Cheers guys
 
I already had it on per core, but did some playing and realised that the bios page goes further down :P Where you can change each core individually, they were all automatically underclocked by -2%, so I set it to 0 and now it is saying it is an AMD phenomII x4 20 @2.8GHz . Time to go to stability testing then see if I can't get a small multiplayer overclock :D

ty for the help

they are indeed VERY sweet.

Got it from 2.8GHz to 3.2GHz stable from just knocking the multi up. However I noticed in my bios that I can't change the voltage for the CPU, it is locked to auto. Whether that will cause problems later down the line when my cooler arives and I start a proper OC, idk. Hopefully shouldn't, only want to get it to maybe 3.6-3.8 at the most, which should be fairly easy to acchieve at stock voltage
 
You just enable ACC. Then set it to Auto or All. Think Gigabyte is the only one that has the Hybrid mode. But the CPU Voltage should not be locked on that board.

I know it shouldn't be locked, it is confusing.

I set jumper free to manual and I can change any frequency, multiplayer, memory, nb, sb, but not voltages :confused: Will have a look tomorrow, getting on a bit now and if I start I won't want to stop and will only get to bed at stupid o'clock :P
 
On some boards above the Voltage settings there will be a master setting of Auto or Manual, that you have to set before you can change the individual voltage settings.
 
well it isn't in that section of bios :P

It may be in voltage settings, but that is usually only for nb and sb voltages, not for changing CPU and memory voltage, that is usually all together. But you never know, Asus and whoever made the bios (I actually didn't check tbh) made it a bit more confusing than it needs to be
 
Asus bios is alittle more confusing then Gigabytes are.

This is suppost to be your bios voltages setting.

I know, that is the page but as you can see on the picture, AI OC tuner is highlighted and auto is white, showing that it can be changed, but on the voltages just the square brackets are and you can't change them, it is like it is locked into auto
 
Must be a setting on another page that changes the Ai overclock tuner to manual. Found this with it on manual.

Found it.

I know, I already have it set to manual, but I found out how to do it.

Stupidly, I was only trying to bring up a non-existant menu but got a brainwave this morning to instead use the + and - keys to change it, which worked :P there is no menu for it is what was throwing me, but yes, it can be changed
 
Sorry if it's a little off-topic (but it's really not worth creating an entirely new thread, apologizes to Aastii for the slight "thread-jack" but I've heard that the Athlon x2 5000+ can also be unlocked to a deneb quad [Phenom II], any of you heard about this rumor? It seems to pop up a lot.

If your talking about the Athlon X2 5000 45nm. Yeah it a chopped Phenom quad. Two cores and the L3 disabled. Havent read much about the % of how well they unlock. I would guess they are pretty much the bottom of the barrel to disable that much of it. My guess is its pretty low odds. If you cant its a rip off to running at 2.2ghz., you can get a Athlon II 250 that runs at 3.0ghz. or 1 buck more.
 
Yeah if you could not unlock it the 250 would smoke it( 250 has twice the L2 cache). Even if you could unlock it, it would be ok at multi threaded. But clocked at 2.2ghz. dont think it would overclock well. Seems like they would be the duds of the duds with that much disabled.

Alright, thanks. I'll keep that for future reference if I need to build a budget computer.
