Something new is allways around the corner

And from my experience, prices take weeks to drop

Not this 'around the corner' it isn't.

Not sure this deserves its own thread so im going to post here. Task manager, CPU-Z and device manager all show my processor as only having 2 cores :S
I'd type my pc specs out all fancy again but teh mods would remove it. Again.

Ever think it could be a dual core?

Considering his signature shows him as owning a Phenom II X4 - I doubt that's really a possibility. Now I am starting to understand all the ruckus about you and your Tech Team badge.

Prez, perhaps look into updating your motherboard bios? I know some people had to do it with their ASUS mobos when installing a Phenom II X6. I got lucky and didn't have to, but maybe you aren't so lucky.

I'll have a go at this, i've had this setup for a while now and i'm sure i've updated this stuff a couple of times but we'll see.

Perhaps the other cores are being disabled for power saving when not under load.  Check your BIOS and your board manual.

They might actually be disabled in the BIOS.  Check.

How long have you had the CPU for? Could be they sent you a defective one. If you can unlock cores I've no doubt they can screw up and lock them too.

Sorted. Disabled some AMD cool 'n' quiet thing in the BIOS and all cores show up now.

see, told ya it was in the BIOS.  There is also a setting in the Advanced Clock Configuration menu under standard CMOS settings wher eyou can maunally control the cores on your board.

Haha! Discovered what was probably the cause... Pretty fucking dumb mistake on my behalf.
A couple of weeks back I took it pretty much apart to dust everything down inside. I may have stuck the cpu fan back on the wrong way...
When I disabled that cool 'n' quiet thing all the temps suddenly went waaaaaay up by about 20c, I also noticed for the first time that one of my fans was at 0%
Took the side off, noticed my mistake and everythings back to normal now.
