Re: P5B Plus Q6600 only uses one core


I think power is OK. All the power receptacles are full, the four holer and
the main are all full. The case is recent. less than 6 months so it should
have proper power. 400+ watts.

Thanks,

JK

I just set up a new system using the P5B Plus and a q6600 processor.
It appears that it is only using one of the cores on the processor.
Windows task manager only shows one window. The system runs slower
than the old
2.6G processor it was supposed to replace. Is the processor bad or
did I do something stupid in the setup or bios? I did upgrade to the
new bios 604, which didn't help.

Thanks,

What make, wattage PSU do you have? Does it have a 24 pin connector for
the ATX 2 socket and do you have the 4-pin plug plugged in near the CPU?
