    All cores not being utilized


    I have an Intel Core I3 6006U. On the Intel site they say it has 2 cores. But in device manager it displays 4. In Task Manager however, it displays 2 again 2 cores, 4 logical processors. On Resource Monitor it displays Core 0, 1, 2 and 3. They are at minimal usage, even when gaming.

    Summary: Device Manager and Resource monitor say I have 4 cores, 2 of which are not being used. The Intel website and Task Manager say I have 2 processors.

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds
