Windows is showing my old cpu when i have new one

[omarashead]

I have Windows 7 and my pc is showing AMD phenom x4 processor. But i have upgraded my pc 2 years ago and bought Amd athlon II x3 processor. In computer properties, thers that bug. in cpu-z software too. I don't know what to do. Because I can't optimalize my games like that and i don't know if I can run them

CPU-z will show what is actually installed. If it says you have an x4 cpu then that's what you have. It could be that your motherboard is unlocking the Athlon x3 to be more like a phenom x4.

Go into the BIOS and see what that states. Whatever is there is what you have installed unless you messed around with something like modifying tracings or unlocking the CPU cores.

Maybe run a BIOS update and see if that helps. I would remove the CPU and make sure what you think you have installed is what you actually have installed.

Yes, I have tried to unlock more cores, but then disabled it. Like i said, I've had phenom in before, so can it be bug?

It most likely happened when you tried to unlock the cores. If the system is working fine, ignore this since you were the one that changed it hehe.
