how do i know/can i test if my motherboard is using both CPU's?

[CaptainChaos025]

im currently using an old HP XW9300 Workstation motherboard which has 2 AMD Opteron 285's both running on 2.6 GHz. and i use programs like an older version of NZXT's CAM and HWInfo to monitor my PC's components, but i can only feel the 1st CPU's heatsink actually warm up, i cant feel any on the second one (the one on the right). in NZXT only 1 one of them shows up, but in HWInfo they both show up??

 

and also is it possible to enable hyperthreading on this thing? the option to do so doesnt show up in the bio0s but perhaps i should update that?

you can check if it us using all of the cores in task manager

Opteron 285 doesn't support SMT (generic name for Hyper-Threading). Yes, you can see how much logical cores system has access to in Windows 7, click 'Performance' tab and right-click graphs, there should be option to show logical cores. Nvm, that's for Win 10, see the link for Win 7.
