Intel's tick-tock process has nothing to do with this. Both a 2500K and 2600K are Sandy Bridge CPU's. A 2600K is clocked 100 MHz higher and has a larger L3 cache, and is faster than a 2500K by about a 15 percent margin, give or take a little: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/288?vs=287

Hyperthreading does help with rendering and streaming but also note that at the end of the day you just went from a quad to a quad w/ ht.
If you're using FME, Openbroadcaster or Xsplit try to tweak some settings to utilize all the cores or check affinity, there may be a setting that sees it as use "4" cores but only tries to use 4 threads = 2 cores.
Also if you just switched CPUs it may not be using the ht like everyone mentioned, check your settings bios and windows (see if its detecting).
There is also the core parking in which it will put some cores offline till it thinks it needs it so you may want to read up on that.
HT does put a little more stress on the CPU increasing the temps a little bit more maybe 2-3-5C so it may be normal.
Those temps aren't anything to worry about, it's not like it's CPU throttling at 73C. I would check and see if Windows is correctly identifying it, and that task manager shows 8 threads.
Also I've never heard of this but maybe some games detect available cores at install, meaning maybe BF3 still thinks it should only use 4 cores. If your bored consider re-installing BF3.
I currently have both cpus and honestly I don't notice a real world difference between them. If your getting worse performance with the 2600k is it possible you bent one of the pins on install?
The Tick-Tock process has nothing to do with it. They were released at the same time.
The reason for the higher temps and possibly your ingame lag is the HT. HT = 4 extra virtual cores which = more heat and diminishing returns in games that don't support HT.

Well, i checked on Task manager and there are 8 ''cores'' and in device manager it shows intel core i7 2600k. also how do i enable,disable HT? i cant find anything in the bios.
To get it right, the steps i need to do are :
0)Reapply thermal paste
1)have all OCing and vcore back to stock.
2)reset bios.
3)re-install chipset drivers.
4)Run a 3D MARK 11 to see if it got fixed.
That is misinformation. LGA1155 has 1,155 pins, but they are located in the socket, not on the processor. It is entirely possible to bend or break the pins.

Can't really say for your board, but should be somewhere similar to advanced CPU control. At least on my Asus board it is in /advanced/cpu configuration/hyper-threading.
Seems about right, a 4.5GHz CPU OC and 1100+MHz GPU should easily break 10K but at stock those seem normal.
