I am looking for help to increase my single core performance on my fx 8350 i currently have it at 4.6ghz on all 8 cores at 1.375v and im thinking about disabling cores , but my motherboard doesn't have the ability to disable one core per module from what i can see , im not interested in buying intel so please don't suggest, and im looking to increase dayz standalone fps , that's all i care about so it would not be better to keep cores enabled. so please don't suggest that , i've already turned off core parking , tried setting affinity to run on 1.3.5.7 . so if someone can help it woujld be greatly appreciated and i've already done all the dayz config mess .
cpu =amd fx 8350 4.6ghz @ 1.375v
mobo- M5A99FX Evo R2.0
corsair ram 1866mhz 2x4 = 8gb timings 9-10-9-27 , 36 , 1T
 
Solution
On windows 7, you can reduce the number of threads used.
in the windows msconfig boot advanced options option, set the number of threads you want to use. You will need to reboot for the change to take effect.
Don't know if that can help, but t it should reduce the power required and possibly let you increase your OC a notch.

i mean is there a hacked bios for this mobo or some program i can disable cores per module as this does increase single threaded applications , there has to be something even if it is 5-10 fps yes that is alot in dayz ...
 
AFAIK you cant do that, as the modules share resources, if you disable one of the "cores" the module dosent perform properly.
Disabling cores wont increase performance, I dont know where you got that notion. It may allow for slight OC gains (marginally) but it wont increase FPS by dropping 4 cores magically.

well this is proven all over the net with benchmarks that disabling cores per module turning it into a so called " true quad" gains better performance in "single threaded games because the cores are no longer sharing cache , and games don't use over 4 cores . and unfortunatley the main games i play require more single threaded performance DAYZ standalone , Arma 3 . so that part we don't need to argue it's well known . i appreciate anything we can do though .

again it's not about hitting higher frequencies , it's about cores not sharing cache anymore , increasing single core performance , this is not myth it's fact.

you cannot improve single core performacne period, Overclocking will help
If you want to improve single core performance or play alot of single core demanding games than get an intel CPU. or wait for ZEN

There is nothing you can do.
When you play games close all background applications
turn off any graphical settings that use CPU
If the game supports it then use down sampling like in BF4 and Planetside 2

To fix your problem throw money at it

What you are saying isn't possible. My motherboard supports this feature and because I was curious I tried it and the only thing it does to my fx 6300 is to dramatically decrease multi core performance while single core stayed exactly the same.

Which has already been done:D
