ASRock enables ACC on AMD 8-Series Chipsets to Unlock Disabled Cores

Quality equals warranty

Asrock motherboards has improving substantially, but there quality leaves lot to be desired because they only have 1 year warranty VS Gigabayte, MSI, Asus, EVGA, Zontac 3 years warranty.

The quality equals warranty, the price difference between same models by different manufacturers is marginal as well as that majority of customers use same system over 2 - 3 years hence the importance of 3 year manufacturer - wholesaler warranty.

Don't use this

I tried this today on my in-law's brand new pc, but it wouldn't start up with the 4th core unlocked. No video signal, keyboard not working, nothing. I wonder why there's no easy way to undo the UCC function as easy as it is to activate it! Now i had to go all the way to the "reset bios" jumper and set the right options in the bios again! Never before in my 20+ years' pc experience did i have to do anything drastic like that!

What if my parents in law accidentally press the x key while booting?

And seriously, you've been using PC's for 20 years and never cleared the CMOS? thats like saying you've driven a car for 20 years and never put fuel in.
