-Checked msconfig( under boot-->advanced number of cores is unchecked).
-Cleared cmos, reset bios.
-Did a fresh installation of windows 10 but still it uses 5 cores ( task manager and AI Suite 3 shows
10 logical processors), tried to set used cores to 6 from BIOS. When i do that pc only uses 4
cores, 8 logical processors). When i change used core settings to Auto it gets back to 5 cores
again..
Can anyone please help me ?

Go into power settings and select 'high performance'.

Well got bios on factory defaults and did a clean installation of windows( formatted the ssd and installed win via usb) . Still 5 cores 10 logical processors.. The weird part is you can manually disable 2, 4, or 6 cores but my cpu has 3 locked cores now..
