Does this motherboard have the ability to unlock a 960t to 6 cores?

Thanks! I have AMIBIOS and I'm jealous, love ASUS but I don't like American Megatrends, everything works and all but I have that empty spot in my love for my motherboard due to AMIBIOS D= just don't like AMI's layout meh

@orhansolo is the windows os installed 32 bit or 64 bit .... if its the 32 bit edition then it can only use 4 GB of ram (approx 3.25 usable) ....

for the cores issue install a program called CPU-z and on the cpu tab of the program u will be able to see how many cores are detected ...

well if you used a hard disk from an old build u may need to reinstall the os again

@TheWozCom

Make sure you have the 8 pin plugged on your Motherboard. You will find it next to the CPU

[G0dlikePwnage]

no not rly PSU cant be ^^ the parts in the pc get the power they need .

so 1050 W is maybe a little bit much but i sure it isnt the psu
