I've enabled all 6 cores now. Unsure if it is related, but there were initialization issues with the keyboard and trackpad after reboot. On first reboot, the keyboard entirely locked up while typing the user name. On second reboot, keyboard functioned, but there was no trackpad once I got into the X session. After some time, it eventually started working on its own, no idea why. Hardware aside, compute so far seems to work as expected. I tried opening large YouTube videos, and watched it stress all 6 cores without issue.
