I was looking at task manager and saw that the CPU was only using 2 cores. But i was using a 860k which had 4 cores. Do I need to be using a more power hungry program or is something wrong?
 
Solution
Depends on what you were doing.

90% of games today will NOT use more then two cores. Some may exceed and use 3 or 4 at most. Unless you are video editing and rendering. This is kot something to worry about.
