That's the Piledriver software in action, it shuts down half the cores to up the clock speed of the others when less than 4 are in use.

hmmm...did you make sure all the cores are enabled in the bios?

What is the piledriver software?

SPatrick99 · Feb 2, 2014

And yes i have checked my BIOS

The piledriver software is the software that installs with the CPU driver, I don't know if you can access it, maybe you can. There is a fix though for your issue.

It's automatic, they should turn back on when you need more than 4 threads to be run simultaneously.
