Hi, I'm trying to unlock my CPU and the manuel says to go into bios and do all that stuff but I dont know how to get into the bios I presses f1 to f12 and they dont work I can only get into the boot menu so does anyone know how to get it to unlock thank you in advance
also if I cpu unlock it will make my 6 core into 12 rigth and should I use the OC dial to overclock or would a program be better

Press Delete. You can't unlock a 6 core, there are no latent 7+ cores. Overclocking in the BIOS is your best bet. I wouldn't recommend overclocking too much on the stock CPU cooler, maybe just 2 or 3 multiplier steps or a slight HTT raise. I wouldn't go above stock volts either.

Ok I looked in the BIOS and I saw all this stuff and I was confused I think I saw multiplier step and I think it was set to auto I didn't see any HTT but I saw the MHZ set at 200 so I moved it to 210 I wasnt sure what to do.
my temp did increase 2 C its now at 25.5 or 26 C before was 24.2 according to AMD OverDrive. what do you thinkn i should put it at
