[SOLVED] i7-4770

[Denciopuds]

I upgraded my I3-4130 into I7-4770 and it only shows 2 cores 4 threads
I disabled Hyperthreading and it changes into 4 cores 4 threads I also tried the MSConfig thing and resetting the bios config

Dell Optiplex 3020
CPU: I7-4770
Mobo: 0VHWTR
GPU: Palit Stormx GTX 1050 Ti

What did you do in msconfig?

Delete the CPU drivers and let windows load them? Sure sounds like a core cap in msconfig.

Ok if it were me I would:

1. Reinstall windows
2. Bios upgrade/reinstall
3. CMOS reset

Reinstalling windows should get your drivers working correctly (assuming you are running windows 10)

so should i go to device manager>proccesors and uninstall the driver and let the windows update do his thing?

I did all of them already

You reinstalled windows? Only option at that point is you have a fake 4770.

What, specifically, did you do in msconfig?

Considering that the spec sheet from Dell only states I3 and I5 (https://i.dell.com/sites/csdocument...dz/CSG-EN-XX-ALL-Optiplex-3020-Spec-Sheet.pdf) the BIOS may well not be able to identify the foreign CPU.

That is not very likely. Run msconfig and make sure the Number of processors box is not checked. Press OK and reboot. When you swap to a CPU with more cores or threads, you need to double check this setting.

I changed my motherboard yet still it shows 4 cores 4 threads

Is hyperthreading enabled in BIOS?

Reinstall of windows is recommended after change of motherboard. Did you do that?

Hi. I have a 3020 mt and upgraded from i3 4130 to i5 4590. A restart would cause the system to hang otherwise it worked fine. Updating the bios from a02 to a03 fixed this (I had to put the 4130 back in temporarily to do this). Might be the same with your cpu (i.e. not supported in bios until later).
