Xeon x5650 only showing 6 cores and 6 threads

[jamies bum goblin]

Hello does anyone know why my Xeon x5650 only shows up in task manager as using 6 cores and 6 threads, I'm 100% sure this CPU is 6 core and 12 threads NOTE: HYPER THREADING IS Enabled, thank you .

Datasheet agrees, six cores, 12 threads.

Could you tell us more about the computer in question?

Yeah I have that same problem, it's a modified t3500 build, works amazing just would like to unlock the full 12 threads, I'm using it for gaming so I'm not even sure If need hyper threading and the 12 threads. I think coaxium has a similar build as me
