WEBui displays 2 cores while the cpu has 4 cores and it seems to use only 2 cores.

I recently upgraded from a pentium e6700 and 2x2gb ddr2 to something better;

My specs now:

AMD A8-7600
MSI A68HM Grenade motherboard
4X4gb ddr3 1600 mhz ram
2 dell professional hdd's in raid 1
samsung sata ssd boot drive
ATI HD 6350 (trying to use it as transcoder for plex)

The cpu is at 100 percent alot of the time, wich isnt normal since my pentium didnt have that, and i am still using the same apps.
So thats why i think it is in fact only using two cores, as you can see below it says 4C in the name but there are 2 cores

The temperature also doesnt work, does anyone know a fix?

Yes and no. Your CPU is one of AMD's family of failed experiments with a weird setup where you sort of have two cores sharing functional elements. I guess this was mapped similarly to hyperthreading, so you get two cores (core complexes), which each can do two threads. All things considered, this is not far off what you'd see on a more normal core, where contemporaneous Intel cores and modern AMD cores have at least as many execution units as a whole core complex on Bulldozer and derivative microarchitectures.

As for the constant CPU usage, you might be able to find the culprit with htop.

From an SSH terminal (or the "Shell"):
Code:
htop -s PERCENT_CPU


(You can exit by pressing Q or F10.)

Come on. For a second I thought I got cheese on my monitor... :tongue:


So it looks like the culprits are k3s (i.e, "Kubernetes" and "Apps") and the middleware, which is the heart of the "appliance" aspect of TrueNAS.

Wait, what? Isn't that a bit extreme?

And what do you mean by RAID? As in a hardware RAID controller?
