    Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 cannot unlock extra cores on AMD Phenom II X2 550

    Recently I have purchased the Gigabyte motherboard GA-990FXA-UD3 few days ago and it was working pretty well. However now with it I’m having no luck through unlocking additional; cores and receiving them completely stable through my AMD x2 550 processor. Before this motherboard I was using Asus motherboard and it was capable to unlock all the 4 cores and running at 100% stable. So it is confirmed that the issue is not about the CPU. Is there any BIOS fix for motherboard so that I can resolve this issue or is there any alternative way?

    I don’t know whether there is a BIOS update or not for this particular motherboard except I will make out what I can discover in favor of you.

    Seeing that to core unlocking, I must speak that I have for all time established Gigabyte motherboards to be much fussier in excess of the course than additional motherboards.

    A motherboard that has an AMD SB750 or SB710 south bridge chipset or it could be an nVidia chipset as well. The motherboard must support the release pure souls.

    When the release of these cores, your computer will not start. This is nothing to worry about, it's just that the CPU core can have defective or blocked you may have the wrong BIOS. Just reset the CMOS after this.

    Ensure the motherboard has a SB710 otherwise SB750 south bridge in addition to ACC is supported prior to purchasing. There are exceptions, similar to a number of motherboard makers have ACC core unlocking functions disabled. Rumors that AMD floating discouraged the release of core. Keep in mind that the BIOS version plays an significant role in development.
