Can someone hand me back my core please

[Duke]

...it has gone missing

Think it may have been the BIOS update I just did

 

[Stabhappy]

what the hell. Tried googling your bios and the term "missing core" or "three cores"?

 

[helmutcheese]

Sorry, I aint got it, only Core I like is Hard Core

Whats your setup? Bios version? motherboard?

May be a known issue.

Disabled hyperthreading in a recent Gigabyte BIOS by any chance?

Gigabyte P35-DS3P. Went from F6 to F8 (latest) BIOS.

Just going to reset the BIOS to see if that helps.

 

[Duke]

That fixed it \o/

Apart from that glitch (although I guess they do always say to reset the CMOS after an update), the BIOS menus looks more polished now. No need for the old Ctrl+F1 for hidden menus for example.

Watch your vcore tho.

They seem to have recalibrated it with the newer BIOS's and the same level set in BIOS can now be higher in Windows. Temps can then be higher too.

You've got to make a Chuck Norris line about that one:

"Chuck Norris doesn't respect Quad-core. The only core Chuck Norris respects in Hard Core."

Ok. I keep it on Auto (Q6600 @ 3.2) though, temps are same as before so far.
