You've just set up the new hardware and noticed only four cores are visible instead of the expected eight. There may be an issue with the CPU or motherboard configuration. Check connections, ensure the CPU is properly seated, and verify the BIOS settings. If the problem persists, consult the manufacturer's support resources.

Check if it's a fresh update for Windows.

No, you don't necessarily have to reinstall Windows. Check if your current version is up-to-date or if there are updates available.

Always reinstall Windows after a new motherboard setup. Just be sure to mention it when you reply.

Reinstalling Windows won’t delete your downloads. They remain unless you manually remove them.

9700k at 3.0Ghz is incorrect again. Consider reinstalling Windows and updating the motherboard BIOS.
