We don't have a single one report of CPUs surviving on stock but then dying
when overclocked. I can hardly be led to believe the overclocking is an issue here that causes them to malfunction.

Both power gating tech and disabling of the cores should be put at users disposal. I might wish to disable the couple of the cores to
reduce power consumption when doing some less CPU intensive tasks,
I don't care. Just because it seems like an unreasonable scenario I don't expect it to die.

Same goes for the power gating tech. Seems Intel doesn't have any grudge against users disabling it for years now.
Again I'm not sure of what combination KILLED the processor. The key word is KILLED here. The processor didn't die is all I was saying. There is no malfunction when you're creating the problem

No, but he does~!

Sofos1990's 3013A540:
eVGA X58 SLI Classified E760 = would work and boot into windows at both 1c1t & 2c2t just fine.
Rampage III Extreme = would work and boot into windows at both 1c1t & 2c2t just fine.

my 3020A457:
eVGA X58 SLI Classified E760 = would work and boot into windows at 2c2t just fine, would POST but hang before getting into the BIOS or at the "launching operating system" screen at 1c1t.
Rampage III Extreme = would work and boot into windows at 2c2t just fine, would POST but hang before getting into the BIOS or at the "launching operating system" screen at 1c1t.

None of them showed any signs of degradation, or died during those tests.
