I recently purchased and installed a Amd athlon x4 and when i go into task manager it says i only have 2 cores but 4 logical proccesors. Correct me if im wrong but isnt the athlon x4 845 a quad core proccesor? And if this is so is my computer actually using all 4 cores then? I currently run it on a Asus ROG Crossblade Ranger motherboard.

If it is quad core and my computer isnt running all 4 cores how can i go about making it so it does?

Also my computer has never overheated and i was exceptionally careful installing my core
 
Solution
its a 2 module 4 core part.
each module consisting of 2 compute cores with a shared floating point unit.
basically its the equivalent of a core 2 duo with hyperthreading. (2 cores 4 threads.)
