You're probably right. I need to check my bios settings. But for the 50% utilisation, it always happens when I'm not in hyper-v mode. Its changes what socket it uses (1&2, 1&3, 2&4, etc), but always 50%.

Thanks for replying Juraj. You're really helpful. I got this machine for a reasonable price. I couldn't say no. Yes hyper-v is virtualisation but isn't hyper-v that enables the hyper threading functionality in WS12? If not, I couldn't get to use hyper threading to work in normal mode. Any help with that too? So I should get the latest VRAY Engine for max to get it to work 100%? I guess VrayforC4D hasn't even come up with it yet?

Hi everybody. I'm kinda new here. I got a issue with my rig. I've got a 4 x Xeon e7-8870 processor but I can't seem to get the max power out of it. Normal setup 40 cores without hyper-v, the max cpu power I'm getting when rendering is 50%. Whenever I use hyper-v i'm stuck with 64 logical processor (which make sense) but get to use more of the multithreaded functionality. I've got windows server 2012 installed. I'm also using cinema 4d and 3ds max. Does anybody know what's wrong here?

Nice Rig.. Do you have cinebench scores?? I've got a 4 x E7-8870 V1 with 128 GB rams but I'm only able to score 3000 max from it. Windows 2012 does allow me to usee 100% cpu on Hyper-V.

Nice setup.. Do you have cinebench scores? I got a 4 x E7-8870 V1 Xeon setup with 128 GB Ram for rendering here. But I'm only getting a score of 3000 max on cinebench 15. Windows 2012 does allow me to use the 4 processors 100% with Hyper-V. Hope I'll get some help here.

Really? Those 3D mouse seemed to be really nice gadgets for modelling. I really wanted to get my hands on one of them. You should send me one.

Nice.. What sort of boards go in there?

Hi everyone, Just got this new machine. Looking for nice people to work with.
