HI I'm in a bit of a pickle with my i7 4930k, so I have had the meltdown protection for awhile and I did notice a small performance drop in some games and what not but now recently spectre protection has been added and its a huge drop in performance literally ruining game play especially in cpu intensive games, so much so i used inspectre to disable the protections.
So what i came here to ask is just how dangerious it really is for an average user to disable these protections and regain performance on an ageing cpu?
