CPU Question

Dinesh said:

This temp is after running this laptop for 4 hrs now. And yes i saw the 46 and 48 also. But i still think 55 degrees is not low. What say?

It is a quad-core w/130W TDP. 55 is within normal range.

On my C2D, 55 is not acceptable, but within range.

The OP appears to have a different problem.

Here's mine: How come you only show one core?

so plzz tell me what to do to see all four core???

Subsonic said:

That's a good question. I installed CoreTemp, and it automatically showed all cores. I've looked in it settings and I don't see anywhere to change whats displayed. Do you have all cores enabled in your bios?

but i don't know how to enable from bios??????

Hi, have you used the following monitoring software yet ?

When you boot, you need to push a button. It should show momentarily right after you boot and depends on the motherboard maker. My Dell, I push F2. I've seen ASUS motherboards that use the delete key. Once you find how to get into your bios, look for CPU options. It may be under advanced options. Be careful changing anything in the bios you don't understand or you may end up with an unbootable system. Write down what you change. If it doesn't boot, go back into the bios and change it back.

Good Luck.

in bios it's showing only 2 cores..!!!!

so what should i do now?????

Subsonic said:

Can you change it? Use your up and down arrows until you highlight where it shows you 2 cores. Press enter and see if it gives you any options.

yes i can change but only three are highlighted i.e.

"enable - 1 - 2" that's it.........

Do you think it needs a BIOS update ?

What motherboard is it and what date does it say, is the BIOS from ?
