Cpu Problem - Help!

[John Leparulo]

Hello, I am currently running with AMD 1055T x6 6 core cpu. CPU-Z says that my processor name is AMD Phenom X2 b05, The specification says AMD 1055T x6. It also says that I have 2 cores but I should have 6. If I run resource monitor it shows 6 cores. I am running Windows 7 ultimate x64. Why does it say this?? I appreciate the help! 😀

Here is a picture of my CPU-Z http://valid.x86.fr/m13b1d

The Phenom II X6 processors require a special power-supply feature, called "dual power-plane". It's supported by default in all native AM3 motherboards, however not in most AM2+ boards, even those advertised as "AM3 optimized" or "AM3 ready". The processor running below its nominal speed (i.e. at 800 MHz), clock and multiplier locked is a main symptom of this incompatibility. This is caused by the processor itself: when it detects that the motherboard does not supply dual power planes, the chip locks its multiplier to 4x.

You'll need a native AM3 board, or at least a BIOS update on your current board.

Thank you so much for help Woody! My current motherboard is an a Gigabyte 890GPA-UD3H. It says right on the box that it is AM3 ready. I just upgraded my power supply 2 weeks ago to a 600 W coolmaster TR2. My motherboard and CPU should be compatible. I just upgrade my bios to the latest version using the Q-flash utility but it still did not fix my issue? Did I buy the wrong power supply? Is my mother board not compatible with this processor? I find that hard to believe because it says right on the box that it should work. Is it possible that the cpu isn't getting enough power? Should i tweak the voltage? Any more help would be great.

So i found this thread http:// looks like the updated version of CPU-Z dosent detect the other cores. Any idea why this is? I did exactly what this person did and it seems to have solved this issue.

Can you verify that all cores are running at 2.8GHz? You can do this by running HWMonitor or similar with a stress test.

Here is a pict of HWMonitor. I believe all of them are running. What are your thoughts? http://

Sorry, I can't see the picture on my school's WiFi access. Can you confirm that all 6 cores are working at 2800MHz?
