Not a big deal buuuut..

[Jezmund1]

Yeaah so i went on cpuid hwmonitor today and i noticed that my cpu cores were numbered incorectly. I thought it should read cores 1,2,3 and 4. But it is 0,2,4 and 6.. like wat is dis. pls can can someone explain this nonsense :'(

[Technomancer__]

[Technomancer__]

Arrays (which to put simply, is a list and your CPU has a list has cores) have always started at 0, not at 1.

Not sure exactly the thoughts behind it, but that is how it is in programming too.

Ocing won't do this

Just reboot and see if it goes back to normal

@Jezmund1

Don't be afraid to oc

Ocing is fun

@Jezmund1 What motherboard do you have?

Z170 PRO GAMING/AURA

[Cyberspirit]

@Jezmund1 Ah then overclocking is extremely easy if you want to go up to like 4.5GHz.

I have an I5-6600k and an Asus z170A mobo and i was able to go up to 4.5 no problem. (You probably can go higher but i'm fone with 4.5)

 

If you want to try i can help you with it  It only takes 1 minute and it's not as easy to break something as you'd think.

Thanks!  but what about those cores numbered wrong?

[Cyberspirit]

@Jezmund1 I don't know honestly. I'd say try to re download Hardware monitor and make sure you are not using a beta version or something.

Here's a picture of my Hardware monitor but the cores are normal numbered:

Should i update my bios? i've heard that i could damage your pc

[Cyberspirit]

@Jezmund1 As long as you don't cut power mid update you will be fine.

but normally that would mean 0, 1, 2, 3 for cores

not 0, 2, 4, 6

(the thoughts behind it are that 0 is a number as well and a computer has to count fron the first number, which is normally 0)

my old i3 used to do it i think it refers to threads sometimes or something random like that

update bios and reinstall hw monitor, all else fails reset cmos and apply oc again

ok thanks!

[Jezmund1]

Sooo how do i actually update my bios? Is it possible to update it without a flash drive? 

[Cyberspirit]

@Jezmund1 You can grab it from here. Just select your OS and it will list all the things you can get for your board so just scroll down to bios section.

 

I think you can update it from just your hard drive but if everything fails i'm sure you could put it on your phone and use that as a flash drive.

 

Ps: I strongly suggest getting at least an 8Gb flash drive because those things can be really handy.

Yea on some boards

Go to your mobo software and see if there's online update

[Cyberspirit]

@Jezmund1 Also i forgot one of the most important thing. What cpu cooler do you have?
