i7 4790K temps

ct2900 · Jan 26, 2015

Hey!

Got problem with temperatures in this CPU.
EVERY software shows only two core, not four. (try: realtemp, core temp, cpuid hwmonitor, intel extereme ttuning utility)
Where's the problem? Something wrong with CPU?
How I could find other core's temps?

Some thoughts come to mind. Did you activate all cores in BIOS, or in MSCONFIG? In the past that has been the most common reason, although I don't know if that is needed on Z97's.

in msconfig > number of processors: 4.
Any other ideas?

How about in your BIOS? is there an option in there for activating cores?

Did you reset the CMOS?

I would reseat the CPU in the socket and inspect for bent pins.

What does your system specs (right click computer go to properties) show?

I would also do a CMOS clear via jumper. Verify BIOS version, contact the board MFG, test the CPU on a different board, test a different CPU on that board.

That would be my first suggestion. Also, look through your BIOs and make sure you don't have two cores disabled.

Checked: got 4 cores. (no option to activate)

Yes, got the same, temps for only 2 cores

This specs? I add task manager, it shows 4 cores (as always).

I can't check my cpu at another mobo, none of my friends has the same (z97) ;/

You have 4 physical cores but because of hyper threading, Windows needs to see this as 8 logical cores. Set msconfig to 8 and your problem will be solved. Better yet, leave that setting in msconfig blank. Reboot and you are done.

i just leave it blank. Now it works

Thanks!
