    Is it possible to entirely disable certain cores in CPU, for example due them being unstable?


    Pretext: I have 5900X on asus x570 strix-e board and W11 22H2. And with current newest bios4408 CPU core 0 is giving constant ID 19 WHEA-Errors, more accurately L3 cache hierarchy errors on default bios settings. I have already debugged this resetting settings, isolating it being hardware problem with driver verifier etc. and its pretty much due bad core that can't handle low/ too high voltages. System is so unstable that it may or may not crash after login or 10 minutes after with hundreds WHEA Errors in log, until there is critical fault that hard boots system. CPU was bought from launc

    Is it possible for my Windows 10 to recognize GPU as CPU cores?

    I am trying to run many processes on different cores. The application I am running uses on CPU and no GPU.

    Is it possible to convert the graphics card to act like virtual CPU cores?

    I just need the CPU cores. I have TITAN Xp which is almost 3000 to 4000 core.

    Kindly, suggest me how my system can detect the GPU as CPU.

    Is it possible to entirely disable certain cores in CPU, for example due them being unstable?

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds
