i7-4770k

Why would my i7-4770k only be showing 2 cores and 4 threads rather than the 4 cores and 8 threads that is is supposed to have???? how can i solve this

What software is saying this?

[eddycuss]

cinebench, CPU-ID

That's really weird. Is your Cinebench score affected?

Check your bios to see if any cores are disabled, also really weird seeing 6 threads in Device manager. If you are running windows 7, I remember some people having to enable cores in msconfig way back when.

Hey I had the same exact issue I upgraded systems and never formatted my hard drive and instead of the 8 cores it should show it was only showing the core #’s of my last system, do not be worried as this does not affect your preformance but if you want to fix this you either have to [a]format your hard drive or refresh your hard drive which in turn will keep all your files ex:pictures, folders, downloads, and files but will delete all applications downloaded from the internet ex:steam, google chrome ,csgo, gta v etc*

Yes try this open run type %msconfig% go to the boot tab, advanced options and if it shows only 2 cores you will have to either refresh or format

i have checked my bios and all cores are enabled, i have also re-seated the cpu, and also checked for the latest bios update and already up to date. i am using 64 bit windows 10. my old cpu was an AMD A10 9700 APU. and i am using the same ssd as i had in that system alomng with 2 other HDD.

I've decided to bite the bullet and doing a complete fresh install of indows

That's about the right score for a 4770k, seems like a UI reporting issue rather than an actual problem where the OS is not using all the cores and threads.

Yeah, just checked mine and it's a hair under 800 OCed to 4 GHz.  Then again Cinebench doesn't confirm its numbers so it's possible to be thrown off by other oddities in the system like the clock running at the wrong speed.
