So I bought this processor a while back and hadn't seen much of a difference plugging it in. I am using CPUID and I had originally seen it was only using 4 cores. I went into the BIOS, changed it so all cores are enabled, and had thought I had been set. Now I'm seeing that the Core Speed is only at 2812 MHz.
Also in my BIOS there are a few options:

AMD K8 Cool&Quiet control-----------[Disabled]
CPU core control------------------------[Manual]
One Core Per Compute Unit ---------[Disabled]

One last thing I've seen is that it's possible my motherboard may not be compatible with my CPU.

^^^ Seeing this link I am under the assumption that my motherboard is not compatible, but I just want to be sure I am reading everything correctly.

From CPUID:
Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology CO. Ltd
Model: GA-78LMT-S2
Chipset: AMD 780G
Southbridge: AMD SB700

Put it to me bluntly and in laymans terms, are there options i can use to fix this, or does my motherboard suck and my CPU is not compatible with it. Thank you so much for your time
