By your logic going into bios to apply proper voltages and other various settings because AUTO incorrectly does so (esspecially for RAM) is warranty voiding.

I am sorry Donnie but you are making yourself look like a fool.

Disabling cores is not taking a processor out of spec. Hyperthreading is a feature known to cause issues in certain situations and can be disabled (some OEM's disable it by default or hard lock it off in their BIOS). Are you going to tell me that if my processor died with HT off that I killed it? Disabling cores is no different. Esspecially when Intel's own features do this as a power save feature.

If I disable unused integrated devices (fireware, LAN, etc) and something goes wrong; I killed it then as well?

I am not here to replace google. Various documentation states this is an option and no where does it state it is warranty voiding nor out of "spec".

Really everyone should be asking you to provide a link to Intel saying that disabling cores is bad and warranty voiding.
Disabling HT alone isn't messing up processors and I never said anything about that anyway. Keep digging a deeper hole? Yea, you're sorry alright. Again, I said if the processor was doing this (shutting down completely the cores and HT) itself or even software, I'd agree! How in the hell did you miss that?

Your example/s makes you look desperate! Here's my saying just what you accused me of not saying!

Another post!

Now if this was something the OS or an app was causing, then I'd go along with you guys!
Your reply is about the most ding bat-est thing I've read in about 5 months here. I didn't pick any extreme example or try twist crap like you have.

Here's an easier one, link to someone disabling two cores and killing a Processor as Erklat said? This was right after xpatar posted two examples of his not dieing! He still posted what he did.

There are thousands of possible settings in the BIOS that can kill your system. According to you, those are all defects as well. If you need links to prove that, then you need to stay the hell out of the BIOS!

There are folks in this thread who were both successful and unsuccessful. Some folks here acted like it was Certain death for all 980X, sheesh! I said If I'm a 980X owner, I'm not worried about this at all=P
