Upgraded i7 920 to Xeon X5675

[father-ted]

Hi,

I have just changed my CPU to a Xeon X5675.
All works fine with Windows 10, however task manager only shows 1 x CPU?
All the cores show in device manager ok.

I have not re-installed W10, just switched the CPU.

Please advise.

thanks

Ah ok, can't say I noticed with my 920.

Thanks for putting my mind at rest

Ive not looked for overclocking instructions yet - is it easy?

Just had a quick play, really impressed straight to 4.3ghz no messing - done a few tests and seems solid.

Will test further when I get time.

Worked like a dream first time for me, F13 bios on mobo.
Just upped it slightly to 4.4ghz, need to do some testing to see if it is stable.
