But I still lose a core even if I reduce the multiplier and leave everything else at stock and therfore underclocking the CPU. Any adjustmentof the multiplier, whether to underclock or overclock, results in a core disappearing. Tried BIOS updates and dual core optimiser but with no success

I have an AX8 v2 mobo socket 939 and 4800 X2 cpu. It OC's fine until I adjust the CPU multiplier at which point the 2nd core disappears - only to return when I set the CPU multiplier back to its default. Anybody else experiencing a missing core?

I doubt it's a cpu fault, I can OC fine with 2 cores by simply increasing the FSB - if I run everything at stock but reduce multiplier from x12 to x11 then surely the result should be 2 cores running at 2.2ghz rather than the default 2.4ghz - I get the 2.2ghz but with only 1 core visible - how...

I have a very similar problem but with Athlon 4800+ on Abit Ax8 board. 2 cores visible until I adjust the cpu multiplier and then 1 core disappears. I can overclock by increasing fsb and still have 2 cores... just as long as I don't adjust the CPU multiplier.
