Welcome to Folding@Home!
The very limited slider options for CPUs were written when CPUs had very few threads. (F@H calls them CPUs) Your CPU has 12 threads.

So here are some generic Instructions to set the number of CPUs you want.
In the taskbar to the lower right of the screen, you should see a F@H molecule icon, click it (you may need to click an Up Arrow to see it ^)
The second item in this menu is Advanced Control, click it
On this screen to the left is a Configure button, click it
Now you get a screen with a Slots tab, click it
On this white field should be a cpu item, click it and then click edit
By default F@H set the number of CPUs to -1 meaning let the software decide.
You can enter any number from 1 to the number of threads your CPU supports. (12 for you)
If you have GPUs, F@H reserves one CPU per GPU to feed it data across the PCIE bus. (you don't)
F@H has difficulty with large primes and their multiples number of CPUs.
7 is always large, 5 is sometimes large, and 3 is never large. Try to choose a number that is a multiple of 2 and/or 3.
2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12 are good numbers of CPUs to choose.
5. 10 may work most of the time. Other numbers will bite you
Type the number you want, and click save.
