question for sabertooth 990fx and FX 8150 cpu

[Unlimitedblackx]

built this system about 2 weeks ago everything is working great !! one thing i noticed is that there is always one core of the 8 core that is always running at 70 to 90 % when my pc is at idle !! Now if i look in task manager and go to processes, there is one that is called system idle process, image name i guess its called and the description of it is this (percentage of time the processor is idle) !! there is a number beside that and its between 80 and 90 all the time !! its really anoying, do i need to learn to live with it or can i stop it ?? it wont let me end the process either !! does anyone know what i'm talking about at least !!

this is normal... if you dont ctrl,alt,del...........it wont annoy you... problem solved...

i had the same questions back a bit.... Raja
straiten'd me out..and i quit fix'n stuff that wasn't broke
.............and just enjoyed the ROG of it.... c.

lol....the reason i say it's anoying is because i have a widget or gadget that show's CPU core activity......and one is always at 80 or 90 %, i guess i could remove that gadget.....that would solve it !! thanx for the info !!

System idle process is telling you it's in an idle state - not doing anything. 90% means its 90% asleep. If one other process is continually active though then something is always working in the background.

What widget do you use to show CPU core activity?

Ok so its not system idle process that is making one core of my CPU working at 80 90 % of the time then !!i use (All CPU Meter v 3.7) ill try to figure out what's running in the background, there have to be something !!

I found what it was, i have a meter for my CPU.... added one for my GPU and what the heck i even had one for my SSD drive. the SSD drive meter was the one the was making the CPU work a lot for nothing !! who would of thought !! thanx again for the help !!

[MarshallR@ASUS]

Have you checked All CPU Meter is actually compatible with the AMD FX series? It maybe reading the CPU wrongly due to its different design.

[Unlimitedblackx]

no i didn't check but since i uninstalled the drive widget everything is normal now, The cpu barely works 1 or 2 % now !! Maybe the drive meter is not compatible with my SSD....all i know is something wasn't right with the drive meter, i didn't really need it anyways so !!
