Hey guys,
I have an FX 6300 currently overclocked to 4.4ghz. I use my computer mostly for gaming, and was wondering... In a game like Arma 3, not all cores are used. If I went into the bios and disabled two of the cores so that only four are running, could I bump up the overclock? In that case, less cores would be used so less heat would be generated, right? Would this work? Thoughts? Past experiences?
Thanks
