As long as a simple switch of the UEFI option "ASRock UCC", you can unlock the extra CPU core to enjoy an instant performance boost. When UCC feature is enabled, the dual-core or triple-core CPU will boost to the quad-core CPU, and some CPU, including quad-core CPU, can also increase L3 cache size up to 6MB, which means you can enjoy the upgrade CPU performance with a better price. Please be noted that UCC feature is supported with AM3/AM3+ CPU only, and in addition, not every AM3/AM3+ CPU can support this function because some CPU's hidden core may be malfunctioned. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read "Untied Overclocking Technology" on page 36 for details. This motherboard supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. Bef ...
