Well that is odd. Were you screwing around in the BIOS? anyway you could have deactivated those cores? You can do that in the BIOS. Is this a brand new build? What are the rest of your specs?

No, i did not mess with the BIOS, and yes it's a brand new computer. My motherboard is a M5A78L-M lx3.
No
I already did that
I saw this on BIOS, "Advanced Clock Calibration - All Cores, Per Core, Auto. Its on Auto, should i change it to All Cores?

Yeah thats right your all set. The amd fx 6300 is actually not a true six core cpu, its a bit complicated but the way i understand it is that there are 3 modules with 2 cores on each module there are not 6 truly separate cpu cores so 3 of them are referred to as "logical". Its almost like hyperthreading on an intel i7 you have 4 cores and 4 threads, the design is very different mind you but thats the way I like to think about it. To sum it up 3 cores 6 logical processors is right thats how mine is as well.
