 NEW EasyTune™
EasyTune™ 6
Core Boost allows you to unleash the performance from
the hidden cores in the AMD processors

Step1:
Choose “Tuner”  “Advance”
mode  “Core Boost”.
Then will show “Disabled” as
default 2-core CPU setting.

Step2:
Choose “Enabled”.
The system will reboot for
updating BIOS of EC firmware
and ready for unleash the hidden
CPU cores.

“Set” for saving the setting
changes.

Now you are free

to use the hidden
CPU cores!!
If you have experience system
instability when Core Boost
is enabled, please reboot
the system and set “Load
