this is 2 cores not one

Indeed. It does not give me the option to set number of active cores . Also according to the rules, hardware unlocked cores need to be submitted under its original name. Prime is a nearly auto submission anyway, not much to change.

I fixed it, and there is an option to select active cores in front of cooling used - it is also not put into 2x cpu category, it is one cpu still that is only shown with 2x active cores. This can happen, so no worries about this

Thank you so much for the reply! I have a question. Since I have now submitted a score with 2 cores, doesn't that mean I can no longer strive to improve my score with 1 core because only the best/highest scoring submission for the same hardware gets points?

Keep on benching, the scores of 1 and two core go to same category but different ranking. Because of this it makes sense to improve both scores to the max

HWbot won't give me points when there is a higher ranking submission with the same hardware though, right?
