hey Sup Forums
i bought the components for a dual socket workbench a month ago or so and am just getting around to installing an OS and everything. I have two Xeon E5-2670's in the board pictured and linked, but when I use Task Manager or something similar to monitor CPU usage and temps, I only see 8 cores/16 threads. Plus windows (home premium) says only 16GB of my 64GB memory is usable. In my BIOS it sees that I have the two processors in there, so I was wondering why Windows wouldnt see both chips
Not recognizing dual CPU

Dunno man, Home Premium is a premium OS. Premium quality and premium CPU and Memory limits. Fucking premium bro. Have you tried restarting it? (the premium way)
Sebastian Gutierrez
install gentoo
Carter Morris
Home Premium has a cap at 16 threads and 16GB RAM. Dumbass.

>guess you've got Windows problems!
People told you to install Linux. You didn't listen.
Ian Turner
dumbass, only windows server supports more than 1 socket, and windows 7 has all kinds of processor and ram limitations depending on version
Landon Harris
Windows problems!
Just install gentoo already!

>Plus windows (home premium)
doesn't support multiple sockets you idiot
Matthew Wright
Home Premium can only do 1 socket.
Pro and Ultimate can do 2 socket.
Windows Server, depends on the license.

Holy christ
No, regular versions of Windows also support dual sockets, unless you're retarded like OP and using the Home Shitbox edition, he probably bought it too.

Might as well take this opportunity to upgrade to Linux.

Why do all these server boards use the same Cortex A9 Apseed chip for IPMI, everyone from Supermicro to Tyan
Isaiah Reyes

Too obvious. This gives away the bait.

You're barred from using Sup Forums related meme words. You lost that right.

>Welcome to per core licensing Winfag.
Wouldn't affect socket or core count in this case. Per core comes into effect after 16 cores. 2670v1 is 8 core.
But please, continue talking out of your anus.
