I got mine about a month ago and recently I have purchased all the parts I need for my new build. Any ways I turned it on today, went into the bios and I was able to change the voltage manually. Was this te problem? Or is there something more to the manual vcore problem?
Thanks in advance

The vcore problem didn't affect all the FTW boards, but I think most(without knowing the exact amount..  ) The manual vcore problem was exactly as you stated, owners not being able to set the vcore manually.

So since I can set it manually, it's ok then?
Because I had heard that if u set it manually then it disabled 3 of your 4 cores. Is this true?

There were several issues. Some could set the vcore in the bios, but it didn't save and when you booted to windows it was on auto still. Others could OC, but the CPU would go into a sort of safe mode and only show 1 core at 1.6Ghz.

If you set Vcore manually and only 1 core shows up, or you are unable to boot into windows your board is affected. If you do not have these symptoms your good to go! Unless you bought the very first round of boards your board will not be affected, nor is any board currently being sold.
