jkeller Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Hi, I just got a new computer with a single 2.8 Ghz processor, but the device manager has 2 of them listed, and the same with the task manager... It seems like "both" CPUs are active... But I only have one processor.. Anyone else encounter this problem? Solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 sounds like u have a P4 with HT (hyper threading is somewhat like 2 cpus in 1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeller Posted February 19, 2004 Author Share Posted February 19, 2004 Yes I do.. Is this normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 yup :) HT is great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sciguy007 Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Yes I do.. Is this normal? yup, normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 The HyperThreading feature creates a 2nd Logical Processor which helps do more tasks simultaniously. :) HyperThreading is awesome. Makes my life so much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkeller Posted February 19, 2004 Author Share Posted February 19, 2004 One more question... What's a "normal" CPU temp.. I'm just curious if I want to overclock my 2.8 to something higher.. I overclocked it to 3.36 Ghz and got a temp of roughly 44C.. with a high load on the CPU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helmers Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 The "normal" CPU temp would depend on the CPU. My AthlonXP 3000 works at 50C when working hard, down to almost 40 when idle. Before I got a decent fan, it used to be 60C+. If you stay below 50C, I would say you have a very cool CPU. As long as you don't get any crashes, you should leave it OC'ed. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 hyperthreading is overrated... I have seen a HUGE difference going from a 2.0 GHz Pentium 4 to a 2.2 GHz Pentium 4 w/ HT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalN. Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 I have seen a HUGE difference going from a 2.0 GHz Pentium 4 to a 2.2 GHz Pentium 4 w/ HT. you mean a 2.4 with HT :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldo Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Athlons are insane. My current CPU (1800+) is running at between 70*C and 75*C, 100% load and it's been fine for the last 4 months that it's been up (non-stop). This is probably because i don't have any thermal paste on, the heatsink doesn't fit and the CPU fan only goes at 2000rpm :). Never crashed tho, so I don't care :p.

orestes Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 70-75 degrees....holy ****! around 60 degrees C you encounter data corruption at some levels...... /me hugs my OC'd P4 at 29*C......with factory cooling even. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 you mean a 2.4 with HT :whistle: I actually meant a 2.6 w/ HT. So It could just be the speed increase on the processor that I am noticing, and not the HT. I dunno why I thought it was a 2.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
