Depending on the program, it could show up as 4 logical cores, or 8. If it shows 6, you've either been scammed, or the additional cores aren't enabled in the bios.

Use task manager and look at the number of cores that show up.

Have you always been using this CPU?

Did you upgrade to it or something?

When was the last time you clean installed windows?

I've always had this CPU since i first bought this PC from cyberpower i just never really checked until now since my preformance in games is bad now and i Have a 1060 6GB SSC.


The last time i changed OS was a couple months ago from Windows 10 to Windows 8 I just couldn't stand windows 10

Did you clean install it or did you downgrade?

Do you have any disabled in the bios. On my old FX system you could disable modules individually (1 module = two logical cores).  Just a thought, unless I have missed something.  Also is anything in System Configuration under Number of processors, see attached.
