I'd check to make sure that all core/threads are operational. It could |
| 27 |
be that for some reason only one core is actually running. One way to |
| 28 |
test that, start compiling gcc or something and run htop. If setup |
| 29 |
right, it will display a bar graph for each core/thread. If you don't |
| 30 |
see the number that you should, then yea, the kernel config could be a |
| 31 |
issue or the mobo settings one. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I'm sure someone with a similar setup will share a config soon. Just |
| 34 |
something you might want to check in the meantime. |
