Default 2C/2T = fail. 4C/4T = great success

As title. Taking it nice and easy on multiple chips at 2C/2T. Couldn't get much over 5.9GHz. I have a known good chip and still....5.9GHz boot.

I got mad and tried 4C/4T.... and BOOM! straight in at 6.1GHz.

WTF??

i think it depends on CPU, some are good with less cores, core better without. Some CPU crap out after half an hour or so, might be due to the thermal paste INtel uses, or perhaps the CPU or something else.

I usually test 2 cores first and most chips tend to max out on that

Moral of the story; Splave & Dino will remain n00bs
Jokes aside, always test at various settings before ditching stuff, hardware can be strange as hell - 'malfunctioning' multipliers etc....

As for cores I've had the experience that it is also based on board;
Extreme6 4c/4t has been best for me (tested with 4 pcs), UD5H 2c/2t // 2c/4t equally good (only tested with 1 pcs so far)
