Ever since BIOS 2004 or 2204 (can't remember), when I disable e-cores in BIOS my single core takes a 76 point hit in CPU-Z and a 6-7,000 points lower in Cinebench (not using the multicore bench btw).Did I install something in the wrong order with ME ...

Setting it to either 0 or 1 (or any number) doesn't do anything different from auto. Running AVX my cpu downclocks from 5GHz to 3.5This has been happening since BIOS rev. 2801 IIRC
