Hi everyone ! I recently built a friend his conputer with the 12900k but I cannot manage to activate all of his cores, somehow wanted to try swapping him to win 11 (we both hate it) but cannot activate the secure boot, before i manage it i was asking myself why on heart does his pc show 6 cores 12 threads (12900k) and mine shows all 12 cores 20 threads (12700) ?
#12700 vs 12900k cores

want to enable/disable core/threads in bios vs wtf is windose doing?!?!?!?
static siren
RIGHT ?! Bios see them all and recognizes them 
sudden ridge
RIGHT ?! Bios see them all and recognizes them <:sadlinus:1237827483798208532>
as in dont even use msconfig to disable core/thread bios give you option on what ones vs start at what ever order it is in windose
its a pain when you need to have core 3 second thread since its has lower latnecy then core 0 first thread
