Hi guys,
I've just installed this chip and have updated the BIOS to one which is shown as supporting it, but the BIOS is only showing info for one core. Also, an option which is supposed to be there to enable/disable the cores when a dual core processor is installed is not showing, so it looks like it's not being detected as dual core. I haven't installed Windows yet but have run cpu-z from a boot disk and that is only showing one core as well. Gigabyte support are looking into it but I don't think there is anything I've overlooked. I don't have access to any more hardware so I can't test the parts individually. Is there anyother way for me to determine which part is at fault so I can RMA it?
