MSI has finally announced new features for its motherboards for AMD processors: it is possible to reactivate the disabled cores from AMD.Clearly (and on some maps as Asus, among others), it is possible to transform a Phenom X2 II or II Phenom X3 Phenom into an X4 II (in general). Obviously, this function is not used on all processors: MSI plays on the fact that AMD sells more Phenom X2 and X3 II as X4 and therefore part of the processor core uses a Phenom X4 II complete, then some are based on the Phenom X4 II defective.

The following maps are part: 790FX-GD70 (BIOS 7577v1.6), 790GX-G65 (7576v1.5) DKA790GX (7550v1.9) DKA790GX Platinum (7550v1.9), G45-790X (BIOS Parents ) 790XT-G45 (original BIOS), 785G-E65 (original BIOS), 785GM-E65 (7596v2.3), E51-785GM (785GM-E51), 785G-E53 (original BIOS) 785GT-E63 (original BIOS), 785GTM-E45 (7549v.G10), 770-C35 770-C45, C35-770T, 770T-C45 (original BIOS for four), 760GM-E51 (directly) , 760GTM-P33 (7302V.G20) 740GTM-P25 (7302vG1) 740GTM-P23 (7302vG1) and finally 740GTM-P21.

Note that these feature “exclusive” maps are MSI since March 2009 from Asus and the mark in question also unlocks the cache of some models, limited to 4 MB instead of 6 Mo. In when a clash between the two companies to about this exclusive feature? Finally, note that MSI says the way forward on its site: it must enable the "Unlock CPU Core", then the ACC (Advanced Clock Calibration) and then go all in for manual enable cores "defective".
