Do a benchmark. If the performances are ok, don't change. Fx are not real 8 cores.

we can get into an arguement but FX8xxx have 8 TRUE cores , do some research.

Yeah, you're mistaken benzaigtv. My 8350 shows all 8 cores in Win7.

Not from what I've seen in PCs on display at stores.

my 8320 used to show 8 cores...i can't remember anymore but i think i started with a 760 chipset and had to jump thru some hoops to get the 8 cores showing, and even then it didn't run very well on that MB

Maybe a Win10 thing?

Or a crap motherboard in those prebuilts that doesn't fully utilize FX8.

Win7 has always showed me all 8 cores with 990FX.

In Task Manager, System Info, Dxdiag, etc...

This is what Win 10 shows me on a 970 mobo http://i.imgur.com/Ib332Ig.png

@SyPTo Correct.

This is one of the best explanations I've found if the topic comes up again (which it will; let's face it, these are the Steam forums, few people search to see if their question has been answered already).

It could be a BIOS setting; all the Phenom and FX allow Core Unlocker and select how many Cores are active. The Base Clock increases if you use less cores. Intel can do that too.

You need a 9-series (970 or 990FX) board to fully utilize any FX CPUs & XMP 1866 RAM; which for any FX CPU, you should be using 1866 RAM since it can natively use that.

Ah, that makes sense. Guess it probably is a Win10 thing. Win7 makes no distinction between logical/physical processors/cores.

i got my cpu free and psu and mobo the guy didnt know how to overclock it right and maded it overheat so bad 4 cores got destroyed and my mobo does suport it i bought a fx 8320e for 100 new and shows all 8 cores i tried all the apps on the fx 8350 and non would show all 8 cores and an i5 and new board would be around min of 350 a good cpu but a fx 8350 can beat some i5s and i7s

The cores for the 8350 were disabled in the BIOS.
Now that you put in a new cpu the BIOS would revert to factory settings and show all cores.
If you put the 8350 back in you would see all cores.
