And that doesn't even count the idiocy of putting CPU-intensive tasks like 7 Days onto the worthless E-Cores.
I guess this IS necessary then: BIOS Update CPU microcode to 0x12B.
I guess I will flash this then. Thank you SylenThunder and other guys.
Even still I will have to stick with my system, rather than returning the hardware and going with a new system. It is not very much fun for me to build PCs anymore. I just want to put it together and get on with it. Back in the 2000s-2010s I enjoyed building PCs, not any more though.
I wish I would have gotten the extra 3 Year Warranty for The CPU, I got one for he Mobo but figured the CPU either works or doesn't work. That I should have done.
