Relax man. It's just the way the new BIOS is reporting your chip. Use Everest and see what that say's. Is it the latest version of Coretemp by the way?

First check your bios. Possible flashing has put some sort of setting back in there and possibly disabled the activation of all your cores.

Check there for something along these line and to make sure the bios recognises its a 750 quad core and has 4 active cores.

Let us know how you get on.

This is why my next upgrade will be an AMD system. lol ! Sorry for thread hijack. *shut up phil*.

Yeah I've just done that, bios had disabled 2 cores after the update.
It just completely threw me when I opened Coretemp and it read i3(Havendale) as I'd never heard of it and paniced

All fine now though panic over.
