I've experienced problems with certain games like Unturned and Subnautica, where they crash or cause blue screens even though they're not overly demanding. Some people suggest disabling cores to fix the issue, but I'm unsure if that's the best approach. Alternatively, upgrading to a newer cooler might be a better option so I don't end up wasting money unnecessarily.

I'm worried that turning off cores won't significantly reduce CPU power usage, since those cores will still need energy.
