I have a mis 785GM -e51 Motherboard and a Phenom II X6 Thuban HDT90ZFBK6DGR 1090T 200 3.20 3M 6M E0 125watt processor running on this home built PC. I upgraded from a x4. My x6 processor gets my computer running slower than the x4 processor. I thought i might need a bios upgrade but the motherboard's specs state that there is a way to unlock all the cores. I don't know if this will help the processing speed but, I've been trying alot of different things (very frustrated). all of the cores are varified by the Task Manager but the meters peak at the minimal of computer funtions.
Here are the motherboard spec: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/785GM-E51.html#/?div=Basic.

PLease Help.

you see no other way around that? At first, I thought i had the bought the wrong processor. SO i went ahead and purchased Phenom II X6 Thuban HDT55TFBK6DGR 1055T 200 2.80 3M 6M E0 125watt just yesturday. If I install that, will I need to update the Bios as well? Nothing i can do without re-installing everything? It would take me all day to do that

Your mobo support phenom II 1090T .. Check in msi website. If I feel slow in my system I just do from hardware is check temp, reseat ram / cpu and from software clean and fix registry .
If 2way in above np solved just install fresh OS the last option. Just suggestion

Hello,

For some reason I wasnt able to get my CPU's recognized by the mobo (AMD processor unknown.) SO I had my Bios Updated and then it became working and recognized. My next problem is that the processor isnt acting as 6 different cores. Instead they are all processing and peaking at the minimal of processing i need it to do. Wierd thing is, I didn't have any problems with the x4 that I upgraded from. I'm using a AMD phenom x6(tm) 1090t 3.2Ghz 125w. Suggestions welcome.

Look under the performance tab of task manager in windows. I have a phenom x-6 myself, cpu-z has the same greyed out "processor 1". I think what you're seeing here is cpu-z will allow you to select from different PHYSICAL processors, while task manager will show each core as a seperate LOGICAL processor.

It does show all of the cores in the task manager, but they are all being maxxed out during audio playback. (I used Pro Tools) and with the x4 i never saw this. With the x6 even stops the play back and says I'm running low on CPU processing power. I rarley got this message with the x4. May be i should just go back....to it. Its frustating.
