I believe that my FX-4170 might have a weak core. Up to 4.7Ghz approx. the chip runs good, all four cores stress fine with prime95. one tick more on the fsb & core#4 drops out with a (illegal sumout) no more than 15sec. after start. Vcore (1.44) I then started to increase Vcore one tick at a time & retest. Got it all the way up to 1.52v & core #4 still gets illegal sumouts almost from the start. The other three cores will continue on without a problem. Is this just the way it is & nothing will help #4 to stress good? I really don't think I should take the Vcore up higher when the other cores are functioning correctly.
