1
00:00:00,199 --> 00:00:07,640
well it's experiment time on the lonus tech tips show I've just booted up the

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:11,360
MSI 870a Fusion that's the Lucid Hydro

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:15,440
board with the

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:18,840
AMD here it is X4 970 and I want to find

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:20,720
out if it will unlock to six core so uh

6
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:25,240
see most settings wrong press F1 to run setup this is very normal for the first

7
00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:28,760
time you boot up a board and let's go

8
00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:31,719
and try and figure out how to do this

9
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:35,920
okay unlock CPU core enabled all

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:43,320
course uh I'm not going to do any actual

11
00:00:38,719 --> 00:00:47,480
overclocking or anything CPU core

12
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:50,239
control okay that's on auto is fine so

13
00:00:47,480 --> 00:00:55,600
um let's find out what happened back in a moment the suspense is killing me here

14
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:59,359
I'm at the desktop but my mouse driver isn't recognized yet I tried unplugging

15
00:00:57,879 --> 00:01:05,920
it and plugging it back into a different port and it didn't work sometimes that

16
00:01:03,199 --> 00:01:09,720
works ah come on most driver I don't want to reboot cuz it's not really worth

17
00:01:07,479 --> 00:01:15,119
the hassle you can see the resolution is wrong on the desktop because I rebooted

18
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:18,240
with uh a completely different hardware

19
00:01:15,119 --> 00:01:21,439
setup so I'll take this time to address

20
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:23,400
once once again why it always says this

21
00:01:21,439 --> 00:01:27,000
copy of Windows is not genuine it's because when I change Hardware it'll

22
00:01:25,119 --> 00:01:31,880
want me to reactivate which takes about 6 minutes online and there's no way I'm

23
00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:37,159
gonna spend that amount of time every time I need to test something because

24
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:38,119
that's really dumb so that's why I do

25
00:01:37,159 --> 00:01:46,200
what I do okay it says course 4 threads

26
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:47,479
4 and that is verified by task manager

27
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:51,439
so let's see if maybe I did something wrong and I'll be back in a moment okay

28
00:01:49,759 --> 00:01:58,560
well digging a little bit further into the cell menu reveals a couple of things

29
00:01:54,719 --> 00:02:01,200
uh first of all that this CPU is not

30
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:05,640
unlockable not in the sense that you can try to unlock it and then it'll either

31
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:10,560
work or it won't but this particular chip is not unlockable at all so even

32
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:15,280
when you enable all cores and if you go and set the core control to manual you

33
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:21,080
can see there are only a potential for Cores to enable or disable so you don't

34
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:27,360
have the op there aren't there aren't latent cores just sitting on this this

35
00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:30,319
isn't a uh a harvested six core CPU for

36
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:35,879
a lower-end part now I've heard stories that some of the 970s will be but it

37
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:39,920
looks like this one is not so it is a four core it is unlocked you are getting

38
00:02:37,959 --> 00:02:45,879
everything as advertised but it looks like there's no six core unlocking uh

39
00:02:42,519 --> 00:02:48,680
Special Sauce to be had at least on my

40
00:02:45,879 --> 00:02:52,640
970 we may see more people trying this over the coming weeks and uh please feel

41
00:02:51,239 --> 00:02:58,440
free to comment under this video and let me know if others do have success but

42
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,440
there you have it
