Hi there,
I was on a Quad Core however today I upgraded my Mobo and CPU to an X6 however Windows is not detecting the 6 cores. I have checked the BIOS and all 6 cores are activated. Will I need to do a fresh install?
Also the fan speed is annoying it keeps going up and down :/
You probably will need to do a fresh install since you have a new motherboard. Sounds like your hardware is working to me if you're seeing it in the bios. Gratz on a very sweet processor! :)
If you have substantially changed the hardware in your system, I would recommend that you perform a clean install. Changing the CPU on its own wouldn't fall into that category, but changing the motherboard certainly does.
