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

00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:11.360
MSI 870a Fusion that's the Lucid Hydro

00:00:07.640 --> 00:00:15.440
board with the

00:00:11.360 --> 00:00:18.840
AMD here it is X4 970 and I want to find

00:00:15.440 --> 00:00:20.720
out if it will unlock to six core so uh

00:00:18.840 --> 00:00:25.240
see most settings wrong press F1 to run setup this is very normal for the first

00:00:22.240 --> 00:00:28.760
time you boot up a board and let's go

00:00:25.240 --> 00:00:31.719
and try and figure out how to do this

00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:35.920
okay unlock CPU core enabled all

00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:43.320
course uh I'm not going to do any actual

00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:47.480
overclocking or anything CPU core

00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:50.239
control okay that's on auto is fine so

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

00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:59.359
I'm at the desktop but my mouse driver isn't recognized yet I tried unplugging

00:00:57.879 --> 00:01:05.920
it and plugging it back into a different port and it didn't work sometimes that

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

00:01:07.479 --> 00:01:15.119
the hassle you can see the resolution is wrong on the desktop because I rebooted

00:01:11.600 --> 00:01:18.240
with uh a completely different hardware

00:01:15.119 --> 00:01:21.439
setup so I'll take this time to address

00:01:18.240 --> 00:01:23.400
once once again why it always says this

00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:27.000
copy of Windows is not genuine it's because when I change Hardware it'll

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

00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:37.159
gonna spend that amount of time every time I need to test something because

00:01:33.720 --> 00:01:38.119
that's really dumb so that's why I do

00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:46.200
what I do okay it says course 4 threads

00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:47.479
4 and that is verified by task manager

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

00:01:49.759 --> 00:01:58.560
well digging a little bit further into the cell menu reveals a couple of things

00:01:54.719 --> 00:02:01.200
uh first of all that this CPU is not

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

00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:10.560
work or it won't but this particular chip is not unlockable at all so even

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

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

00:02:18.720 --> 00:02:27.360
have the op there aren't there aren't latent cores just sitting on this this

00:02:22.920 --> 00:02:30.319
isn't a uh a harvested six core CPU for

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

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

00:02:37.959 --> 00:02:45.879
everything as advertised but it looks like there's no six core unlocking uh

00:02:42.519 --> 00:02:48.680
Special Sauce to be had at least on my

00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:52.640
970 we may see more people trying this over the coming weeks and uh please feel

00:02:51.239 --> 00:02:58.440
free to comment under this video and let me know if others do have success but

00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:58.440
there you have it
