Is there a way to do one core per module on these Z boards? I cannot find any option in the bios to do that.. they just turn off the entire module
I am running the rev 1 not the Z but it does not matter because:
The FX architecture uses a design of one module with 2 cores
4 core line: 2 modules 4 cores
6 core line: 3 modules 6 cores
8 core line: 4 modules 8 cores
This design only allows for reducing cores on a per module basis, you are unable to split modules into individual cores due to shared resources at a hardware level
As I am sure you have found under the advanced tab in the CPU core on/off function the enable/disable core features are restricted on a module basis, you would have to step back to a Phenom series to disable individual cores, basically its not the board, its the chip
