My CPU extremely underperforming

[Charles]

I had incredibly disturbing performance when I tried running a userbenchmark or any other benchmark. To be sure the CPU wasn't a fraud, I used the Intel diagnostic program. It finished. I'm currently pondering the potential causes of this.

i'd like to know which processor you're using and post your spec also

GA-H61M-S1

What standard of performance did you expect?

There is not much else to say as long as the CPU is properly boosting and not thermally throttling. In comparison to the i5 2400, the processor isn't really much better.

At this moment, it's almost as awful as a Pentium G645 computer.


I assumed this device had four cores; why is it shown as having four cores as well?

[Bryson]

It should have four cores. Was this hardware setup's copy of Windows brand new?

Yes everything installed properly, but stuck here

Here's the Soltion

Code: Select all

Press Win+R to bid the Run dialog box.
Type msconfig and press Enter.
In the System Configuration window, click the Boot tab.
Click the Advanced Options button. The BOOT Advanced Options dialog box appears, as shown.
Place a check mark by Number of Processors.
Choose the highest number from the menu button. The highest number is coincidentally the number of processor cores inside your PC.
Click OK to close the BOOT Advanced Options dialog box.
Click OK to close the System Configuration window.
Click Restart Now. Windows restarts so that the changes will take effect.

Thank you very much, that was the solution.

But is there any way I could get this CPU to produce a tiny bit more power?

Your Welcome

Actually, no, H61 boards cannot overclock, unlike P67, Z68, or Z77 series boards. Absence of hyperthreading is also detrimental. If you truly want to keep investing in an outdated machine, an i7 3770 or Xeon 1230 v2—both 4c/8t—would be preferable.
