hi so i recently upgraded from dual to quad core all was going well at 3.4 and then i installed a backplate to the motherboard.now whilst doing this i took battery out of motherboard and now realtemp,speedfan and occt dont show all cores. i can still hold 3.4 but it wont be running as smooth ,will it ?
tried the way i first did it with EasyBCD 1.7.2 but it's not working this time.
any suggestions please ?

bios settings are quite complicated, does anyone know how to change boot menu into a more visual, stylish setting.
