Problem with overclocking AMD Phenom 840T. Assistance needed!
Hello everyone,
I’m relatively comfortable with computers, but this is my first experience. I’d appreciate some guidance if possible. I’m unsure which BIOS settings to adjust. My motherboard is an MSI 760GM-E51 with an AMD Phenom II x4 840T @ 2.90Ghz. Here’s the current BIOS setup:

I’ve tried enabling Unlock CPU core and set Advanced Clock Calibration to Auto, but both actions cause my computer to shut down with an orange light on the motherboard. Could you please advise what I might be doing incorrectly? Thanks!
There are two options. You can either boost the CPU core clock multiplier or raise the base clock. Because your CPU uses a locked clock multiplier, you can't change that. Only the base clock can be increased. However, raising the base clock affects everything else running on it as well. This isn't something for beginners. You'd need to lower the multipliers of other components to prevent crashes. Even with a stable output using the base clock, the speed would only reach around 100 MHz, which isn't worth the extra work.
When attempting to access the disabled cores, it's possible your CPU has faulty cores. This could explain why they were excluded from being a 6-core configuration.
If you're attempting to unlock the disabled cores, it might be because your CPU has faulty cores. This could explain why it was previously limited to 6 cores. The CPU is actually a quad-core processor, but unlocking disabled cores isn't straightforward.
If you're attempting to unlock disabled cores, it might indicate the CPU has faulty components. This could explain why they were removed from being a 6-core processor. The CPU is actually a quad-core unit, and there are specific steps to access the disabled core settings. Consider removing ACC from auto settings to see what options are accessible.
If you're attempting to disable the disabled cores... It seems your CPU might have faulty cores, which could explain why it was disabled from being a 6-core processor. The CPU is actually a quad-core unit, and I'm unsure how to proceed with unlocking the disabled cores without more details. Consider removing ACC from auto settings.
I wanted to know which choices are present in the BIOS for the ACC. The ones I see are Disabled, Auto, All Cores, and Per Core.
Adjust it for all cores. However, your question was about OC'ing. That's not OC'ing—it's just attempting to turn on the inactive cores. Are you sure that's what you intended?
