Incorrectly configured OS, or OS related software problems or limitations.įollow these steps to resolve the problem:įirst, make sure that none of the cores are disabled in the BIOS.

There could be two reasons for Windows not to use all of the available cores/threads: Look at the processor load graphs, you should see the equivalent amount of graphs as there are threads in your processor (4 for a Core 2 Quad, 8 for a Core i7 with HT enabled). The first thing to do is launch 'Task Manager' and go into the 'Performance' tab.

Why doesn't Core Temp display all of my processor's cores/threads?.

There is no way of getting a per-core reading on these processors. Thus Core Temp will only display a single CPU temperature reading.

I can only see a single temperature reading.ĪMD processors based on the Phenom and Phenom II (Athlon II, Sempron II, Turion II, etc.) and all of AMD's new CPUs such as the FX and APU series only have a single thermal sensor.

On a 64bit OS, both version will function, but since the 64bit version is native for the OS it should run faster - or more efficiently, and this is my recommendation. If you have a 32bit OS, then the 32bit version is the only one that's going to work.

If you still prefer to download the standalone version then you can select the proper download the following way:

It will install the correct files for your system, this way you don't have to worry about it. If you are not sure which version to get, my suggestion is to get the installer. Should I get the 32bit or 64bit version?.

What is considered to be a safe temperature for my processor?įor processors with the "TjMax" value being shown in Core Temp it is usually considered best to keep the temperature 15-20C below that value when the processor is under full load.įor chips which don't provide a TjMax value, such as the AMD K8 family of chips, it's best to keep the temps under 70C full load.The temperature should not exceed this value, or it may cause instability, shorten the life of the CPU and cause massive performance issues.Ī rule of thumb dictates that the temperature should be kept around 20C or lower below the TjMax value while under full load. If your CPU is rated for 100C TjMax, and it was nearing the 100C value in the temperature fields, that is a sign of overheating. This value should not be confused with the TCaseMax rating, which indicates the maximum temperature the top-center of the processor's heatspreader should not exceed. This value represents the maximum temperature the hottest part of the processor core should not exceed. Tjunction Max (TjMax) is the maximum temperature the manufacturer has rated their processor at.
