HyperTHreading Not Working

[socialmaxcoogan]

Ok, so I just got an MSI Z370-A Pro Motherboard with the i5 8500 CPU. and when I went to check the cores that were being used I only see 4. Hyperthreading in the bios is n/a and I don't know how to enable it.

Hey max, i5-8500 is a 6 core CPU that does not support Hyper Threading. Hope this clarifies.

the motherboard is capable but you need an i7 for hyperthreading.
this is a 6 core 6 threads cpu
