I'd check to make sure that all core/threads are operational.  It could
be that for some reason only one core is actually running.  One way to
test that, start compiling gcc or something and run htop.  If setup
right, it will display a bar graph for each core/thread.  If you don't
see the number that you should, then yea, the kernel config could be a
issue or the mobo settings one. 

I'm sure someone with a similar setup will share a config soon.  Just
something you might want to check in the meantime.
