Hello folks,

I Have an Intel Core i7 930 CPU and recently I noticed the temparature sensor on two of the four cores don't seem to work anymore. I noticed two cores stopped showing up when running HWMonitor earlier on.

I get the same problem with the latest version of the softwaren and the same issue with speed fan. When I monitor CPU activity all cores seem to work fine.

Can anyone offer any advice please?

Thanks

Windows had indeed lost two of my CPU cores. Task manager was only showing 4 rather than 8 cores (hyper-threading) and RealTemp was only recording temps for 2 cores the same as HWMonitor.

I managed to fix the problem by opening MS Config and under the advanced tab I unticked the boot with all cores option. When I restarted my PC all the cores appeared once again.

Stupid Windows......


Thanks for the replies folks!
