    Still playing with 1C/1T through windows with hyper pi having 6C/12T enabled. At the moment not an issue.
    This is insane. Could this be a design problem of the processor?
    Or a bios fix could solve the problem? Not just deactivating the option of using one or more cores through system bios.
    Intel should respond immediately, we're talking about a processor that costs a 1.000 euros. That kind of products shouldn't be affected that easy.

    I couldn't get my 980X ES to post with just one or even two cores enabled on Asus P6T DLX V1 and 2104 BIOS and always had to reset the CMOS after that. I guess i'm lucky i didn't kill the chip... I'd prolly spend the next few days wondering what the hell happened.
