It only shows me 2 cores in task Manager when this is a quad core processor
I have already done the run msconfig stuff
and i disable c6 in bios and every single stuff Its only showing 2 cores but if i check cpu-z it says its a 4 core processor
In device manageri can see cpu0.1.2.3.
Does all 4 of my cores are running or is there anything i can do? PLs help and sorry for my bad english

Yeah thats displaying correctly. Thats how windows views these CPUS, as although it has 4 cores, its 2 modules, each pair of cores share resources, so having it as 4 logical cpus allows better load distribution between the shared resources.


Hyperthreading is intel tech, and nothing to do with this.

Oke first thanks for your fást and good answer secondly,"Thats how windows views these CPUS, as although it has 4 cores, its 2 modules, each pair of cores share resources, so having it as 4 logical cpus allows better load distribution between the shared resources." Does this affects my gaming experience or my fps stuff?
And should i turn back c6 on?
