Only One Core Overclocked?

CoreTemp seems to think only one of my cores is overclocked... Is this the case or is it just reading it wrong? CPUz and Windows both see it as 4.0GHz but CoreTemp only thinks it's one.

Yeah... it's just the one. Well that's REALLY annoying... No idea how to fix that as my BIOS doesn't show anything about more than one core. I have a core unlocker but not sure if that's related. I know it can unlock cores if you have disabled cores on the processor.
 
In BIOS make sure Cool'n'Quiet is turned off.
Make sure C1E support is turned off
Go into Windows control panel under power options and make sure you set for maximum performance.

Did all of that. Still the same but temps are higher. :D

Maybe try updated BIOS? I've seen a few mentions of people having this issue with MSI boards.
 
When you are running a load do all the cores match or does it only seem to drop frequency when you are idling along?
 
When I ran Prime core 0 would be at 4 while the rest were at 3.2. When it had Cool N Quiet they would all drop to the same speed together.
 
Yeah still doing it after changing both of those... Faulty board and/or poor BIOS controls.
 
I thought it's normal to have 1 core always peak compared to others? My i5-3570K does that and it's overclocked @ 4.3Ghz.
 
If you overclock you think it would apply it to all of your cores, not just one of them. Doesn't seem right to me.
 
You set the option in bios "to all cores" and not "per core"?
Sorry if someone else said this already... didn't look previous page.

Yeah it's been said. I've looked through all my BIOS settings and can find nothing about it.
 
Snapped a picture of my BIOS Overclocking section. Maybe I'm missing something but I can find nothing pertaining to a single core vs all of them.
