CPU Intel i7 17400KF (Raptor Lake-S)

Core Temp shows it has 20 cores and 28 threads. Shows cores 0-19 info but also shows that cores 0-7 have a load of 0-1% and temp is running 30 c degrees cooler that 8-19.

Is this normal for this cpu?

Tks

Big.LITTLE architectures are a pain to run FAH on, especially on Windows ... you'll have to manually configure everything :
- set the CPU slot to use the number of thread you have on P cores.
- use Process Lasso to set an automatic affinity rule to force FahCore_a8.exe and FahCore_a9.exe to run on P core.

There are other threads about this in the forums ... and my advice is always to buy an AMD CPU until they also use those stupid big.LITTLE architectures ...
