I bought my i5 11400f with a gigabyte b560m gaming hd motherboard a few days ago and found out it only had 2 cores and 4 threads, the next day i had to reformat my pc and it now shows 6 cores and 6 threads while still missing that 6 missing threads. Is this a motherboard that need a bios update or something else?

it could be a problem with task manager, try using a 3rd party hardware monitoring software

Hope my response helps 🙂

Your cpu should already be supported by your motherboard's BIOS since the F3 BIOS update. But since there is a newest BIOS that have major vulnerabilities fix. I suggest you update your BIOS to F7. Or to whatever recent BIOS update for that motherboard(specifically) you have available in your country.

So funny thing i remember... before i had it reformat, i saw the technicians disable my bios hyperthreading and now that i enabled it again, it actually finally showed 12 threads...

Some PC technicians just don't know what they're doing...

 

There's no reason to disable hyperthreading in your case. Glad you worked it out, this was what I was gonna recommend.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?

The showing weird thread numbers, I have had that happen when upgrading from Core 2 Duos to Quads. Task Manager shows 2 cores on the first reboot but all 4 on the next. Windows just has to reconfigure itself to recognize the CPU properly if that makes sense

But to Tom, it's all foolery. 

 

 

 

 

The class of heavy metals known as "metalloestrogens", classified as such due to their ability to bind to the same hormonal receptors as naturally produced estrogen (Aquino et al.), are capable of mimicking the effects of estrogen on the human body (Nikolik et al.). Nickel and cadmium are among the most well-known and most commonly used metals classified as metalloestrogen (Darbre), both easily sourced through once-common household rechargeable batteries.

Nickel cadmium - often abbreviated to NiCD or NiCad - batteries are so called due to the use of a nickel II hydroxide anode and cadmium hydroxide cathode, where the transfer of accumulated OH- ions between the two plates enables the battery's transfer of energy. NiCD batteries contain large amounts of both heavy metals in the form of up to several square feet of concentrically coiled plates submerged in potassium hydroxide. Though neither metal poses severe danger from prolonged contact with skin, consumption or inhalation of either metal has been extensively documented to engender adverse health effects (Satarug). 

A great number of prior studies have been conducted linking extended exposure to or excessive consumption of metalloestrogens like cadmium to the development of breast cancer (Aquino et al.) - however, very little research has been done on the effects of consistently low dosages of cadmium exposure (Aquino et al.). Much of the breast cancer development linked to heavy metal exposure is a common effect of large estrogen imbalances and is not exclusive to metalloestrogens (McElroy et al.). Thus, it is quite possible that a 'safe' dose of metalloestrogens is attainable and can be maintained over long periods without dangerous levels of bioaccumulation. 

Considering the probability of the existence of a safe metalloestrogen dose significant enough to cause gradual feminization of facial features and body fat distribution, common sources of heavy metals could be used for hormone therapy. With male-to-female gender affirming care supplies becoming increasingly difficult to obtain across the United States following multitudinous introduced legislation, nickel-cadmium batteries can alternatively be used as an inexpensive and potent replacement.

Good that you remembered. I am just puzzled with 2 things though:

1. Why would the technicians do that?

2. Before you reformatted your PC, why is it that it only detects 2 cores and 4 threads? It looks like disabled cores in BIOS. Should be easily fixed by a BIOS reset to optimal settings.
