Could someone please elaborate? I recently bought a i5 6600k managed to OC it to 4,3 with no problems, every single game ran silky smooth.. It still kinda does, (Also unparked my 4 cores because I'm a CS gamer, more fps, happy face) everything worked fine.. Then one day when I had to reinstall windows because I had a corrupt version, I did the exact same thing as usual and when everything was set to go I tried unparking my cores once more. My CPU-Z/msconfig (Boot advanced options) still says I have 4 cores, but the program I'm using to unpark the cores only says I have 3? the games feels fine, just not what it used to when I just bought it (1 month ago)
BIOS is updated, everything is up to date.. So my question is: Is it possible that my CPU has lost a core? I never adjusted the vcore, I kept everything on my MSI motherboard on "Auto" and just buffed the Clock speed to 43 from 35.. Slight possibility that I've fried one of my cores or something? Everything in my comp is up to date/decent parts, also rumor has it that if you keep ur vcore under 1.300+ It should be fine? Mine is running at 1,1-1,2 ish on load.. One thing to note is that I havent tried forcing every single core when booting up the system, should I give it a shot? I've heard that It can damage ur cpu/comp even more!
