Well I have this board, and I don't know if my board is just shit or if it's my Fx-6100. I think it's the motherboard though b/c I have lots of issues with the number of cores being shown. In windows task manager it'll say 3-core 6-threads, but in speccy it'll say 6-core 6-threads. So some help would be appreicated. If it is the motherobard I'll just throw in a MSI 970 G46 b/c I heard that that's an amazing board. IDK just give me ideas and all :)
Its not the boards, AMD CPU's dont have 6 full fledged cores, it has modules and each contain two cores that share a Cache, so some applications will identify them as 6 cores and others 3 cores with 6 threads where it only identify's the modules as cores.
So should I throw in a 8350 then to just up the performance?
yes if you update youre bios, then you can do that.
but dont look strange, if you gonne look windows system info, with an fx8350 it says 4 cores en 8 threads. the same as it does with an i7 :) windows still isnt realy uptimized for quadcores and more, its just a fact :)
youre mainboard should be fine
