Only 1 active core?

[Christopher_]

So I was overclocking my i5 650 2cores w/ ht and I got it to 4,2 successfully. But then I noticed both msi afterburner and xtu saying there is only one core active.

 

everything is correct in the bios and I tried clearing the cmos.

 

is it in Windows? Or what the hell is going on

Look in the BIOS and see if a core is disabled.

What do other softwares say? (Like CPU-Z and Windows' task manager). And can you see multiple cores in your BIOS? With clearing the CMOS, I guess you didn't set the OC back either?

Best way to find out is to load up a game and see how fast it runs, if your getting much lower than before then only ones active, if it's same/more they are all active.

 if you revert back to stock clock speeds what does it say then?

Windows task manager only sees one core I guess I can try cpu-z
