anyone know where i can get the beta bios for the CHV so i can disable indevidual cores? the 0813 bios update ont he asus site only lets you disable cores 2 at a time.
I was wondering the same thing.
You can't. The damn FX 8150 and FX 8120 don't have 8 real cores, but only 4. AMD decided to call cores modules because they implemented Chip Level Multi-Threading, or CMT for short. The modules are actually the cores, so when it says that you can only disable two cores at a time, you're actually disabling a module, which in fact is a core. Does this make sense?
