[SOLVED] Using all my cores

[brololbao]

So I been seeing everywhere on YouTube saying how you should enable all of your cores in “msconfig.” But on my motherboard BIOS menu, I can enable all of my cores there. Does it matter which one I choose? What one should I do?

You should not believe everything you see on YouTube first. By default, Windows will use all your cores. You don't have to do ANYTHING to enable all cores.

Exactly as kane said, Windows and BIOS will use all cores by default. There is no need to tweak anything unless cores are disabled because of a glitch.

One possible exemption is if windows were transferred from another system it's possible it wouldn't notice all the cores.

That utube is entirely 100% false.

By default, they are all already available.

In msconfig, if it looks like this with the box unchecked and the greyed out "1"....that is the default and they are all enabled.

This is also your solution if you want to make sure windows is configured correctly.
There is a difference between bios and windows,the bios will enable all cores in general but if windows doesn't "see" all of them it doesn't matter that the bios has them enabled.

As everybody already said though it's very rare to have a reason to mess with this.
