Intel ht tech problem

[maurick]

hi guyzzzz!
how u ol doin?


just want to ask u some questions about my i7 920

when i want to make a benchie, i want to activate intel ht (hyperthreading) but when i open real temp to check my temps,
i'm surpriced cause i only see 2 cores!!
the first time i activate ht it was 4 on real temp and 8 with prime95!

i tried to change ol settings from the bios, but i just cant understand y intel ht activates only 2 cores!


some1 got i7 920 have seen this kind of problem?

Hi, I'm peachy thanks, How're you?

Go into the BIOS and load default settings, Boot into windows, Open task manager, Go to the performance tab and you'll see 8 threads

Also you could download CPU-Z and that will tell you how many cores, and threads you have.

 

[gracefully]

Also, try HWMonitor to check your temps instead. Might give you a better result.

just load default setting
heres the result

Weird, have you tryed CPU-Z?

Notive at the bottom of CPU-Z it says Cores: 4 Threads: 8

Check to see if yours is the same.

damn it

 

[Rustyy117]

Wow......Thats very strange

I'm all out of ideas : / Sorry

I'd be tempted to RMA the Ci7 920


But there might be something im overlooking........Maybe someone else can help you.

 

[maurick]

i only use ht when benching,,
so!
i think its fine with out it!

damn!

 

[Rustyy117]

Yeah but only 2 phsyical cores?

You should always have 4, unless you have specified otherwise in the BIOS ( There is an option for that)

 

[maurick]

with ht disabled i have 4 cores and 4 threads!
no problem!

whats that option?

 

[overshocked]

There is an option in the bios to disable cores, its under CPU settings. Make sure when you set the bios to defaults it didnt disable 2 cores.

*** 3d

Try running Cinebench R10 with HT on, You should have 8 threads rendering the picture.

 

[maurick]

i think its enale that option!!!
try to look it

 

[maurick]

i'll try it!

thanks

Go to the start menu and search for msconfig (or in XP, open Run... and type msconfig). Open it and go to the Boot tab. Clcik the Advanced options button and see if the "number of processors" option is checked. If it is, uncheck it and restart. If it's not checked, check it and select 8 processors from the drop-down. Restart and verify that you have 4 physical cores and 8 logical cores (threads) in CPU-Z.

i think u got it man!!
i changed it last 2 days to fasten my boot up!

 

[maurick]
