Memtest V7.3 Pro- Unutilised CPU Cores

[Nano]

Dear Keith,

We have purchased the Software Version: Memtest V7.3 - Pro

The Asus Motherboard : H110 -MCS / DDR4 has 4 CPU cores but the Memetest V7.3 Pro utilises only 2 cores out of 4.

Can all the cores be activated, If yes please let me know the procedure for the same.


With regards,


GAGAN SAREEN

The Asus Motherboard ... has 4 CPU cores

Actually it doesn't. The number of cores depends on the CPU.

What CPU is being used?

[Nano]

The CPU is Intel I 3 - 6098 P @ 3.60 GHz

[David (PassMark)]

Intel Core i3-6098P is a dual core CPU.
(hyperthreading is not used in V7.3 of MemTest86, as there was no speed advantage, but there is a config parameter to turn it on if you want)

David,

Memtest V7.1 , it indicated CPU Found 4, CPU started 4 and CPU active 4 but is not the same in Memtest V7.3 ??

[Nano]

How do we turn it ON. Which parameter ?

[keith]

Set the 'ENABLEHT' parameter to 1 to enable hyperthreads.

Reference: http://memtest86.com/technical.htm#config

ENABLEHT

Specifies whether to enable testing on hyperthreads. By default, memory tests are not run on hyperthreads. 0 - Do not enable testing on hyperthreads 1 - Enable testing on hyperthreads

The configuration file is one of the features of the Pro Edition.
