performance - What does high ambient CPU mean?


I have run userbenchmark test, the results are here: http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/357122 According to them, the PC has high ambient CPU.



!!!Very high ambient CPU load. These results have reduced accuracy
because the CPU was active before the benchmark even started. Check
CPU load with windows task manager (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC).



I don't know what that means, and found nothing in google about that. I guess it is high CPU usage when I do nothing. Am I right? I checked, there is no virus in the system according to malwarebytes and eset smart security.


I just changed my Intel Core2 Duo E8400 to a Xeon E5430. The Xeon was designed for 771 socket, not for 775, so I had to use an adapter. Can this cause the problem? Is there a way to fix this?


Answer



The report complains that you already had programs running which used CPU capacity.


This means that the benchmark tool cannot fully outload your CPU because some space is already in-use and thus the test results might differ from what your real CPU might be able to do


The warning message shows because they want to warn you that CPU-related results might be distorted
