There will be no overclocking on A320 boards anyway...

MSConfig will by default show number of processors 1, but, it will be greyed out unless you open to manipulate it upward.; if you were tinkering with it in the past, that's possibly where things went wrong...(certainly, task manager should reflect one socket, six cores, and 12 logical processors; if this somehow got botched, you can try deleting processor entries within device mngr/processors where 12 entries should show, one for each thread...; hit reset, perhaps they will be redetected...
