As you can remember, the processors kentsfield with the presence of the corresponding option in the bios can disconnect one, two or three cores from the four existing.it is complex to talk about What practical value this function has, if we dont consider the increase in the overclocking potential during the extreme cooling. it is realized in motherboard on the base of chipset NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI.
The most interesting, that anyone can disconnected cores . today was published the screen shot of processor core 2 Extreme QX6700 stepping B3, in worked only three core.
At first the author “of this achievement” calculated this as some anomaly. there was no option changed in the bios setups of the motherboard asus striker extreme revision 0402 .
With the help of more experienced user in this question . He clarified, that motherboard could disconnect one of the core, after dumping the bios setups..
I please to note that to disconnect core with the bios step is possible on the series processors kentsfield. All motherboards on the base of chipset nForce 680i SLI, which have standard design, make possible to make this. Asus striker extreme has its own design, but the function of turning off one or more core in processors kentsfield is also provided in the bios. Related Products :
