Hello all,

Recently I noticed a drop back on my computer's performance, and I notice that the frequency for my core #0 always appear to be at 1GHz in CPU-Z where it should be at around 3.5GHz. Also when I check in the BIOS, seems like CPU0 and CPU1 are not shown up. So I don't know what is going on with these cores.
I'm wondering if any of you may know the answer? Any input will be appreciated!

When CPU z is open it shows you the Cool n Quiet clocks, so yeah the CPU should be sitting at 1ghz or so when you're not gaming or putting the CPU through full load.

Who cares what the bios says, as long as windows can see the cores I'm sure everything's working. If not, do the CMOS reset. If that doesn't work go into the bios and manually enable all six cores.

What is your board? Old AM2+ boards without microcode update behave like that when an X6 is intalled. You will probably need to flash the board's BIOS. If you are not familiar with the process try find someone do it for you. Otherwise, do a search on BIOS flash. It's not a difficult procedure but definitely intimidating for the first time.

Thank you for your reply. I've tried to reset BIOS to default, is this the same as rest the CMOS? Or it's a different thing?

Thank you for your reply. But I've disabled the Cool&Quiet option in BIOS. And also all the other 5 cores are at the high freq. is it possible for it to only downgrade the first core? I will try the CMOS thing once I got what it is. But I cannot enable the cores since they are not showing up at that "enable cores option" in BIOS.

uhm, it's a Gigabyte 890 UD3 I believe. I got it early this year and it's build with the AM3 Socket. And all the cores are there several weeks ago. So I don't think it's a Bios version problem. But still thank you for your reply.
