question about q9550

Post by kaza83 »

hi every one! I purchased a new computer with q9550 2.83GHz, but when I run CPU-Z or Everest so it read only 1999.8MHz instead, like the pics below

So I wonder if it is a normal mode...

That might just be the processor slowing down because it is not needed. You can disable the power saving features in the bios that should get your cpu to run at 2.83ghz all the time
Dell Sucks.... In my opinion anyways
New Rig
AMD Phenom II 955 at 3.2ghz
DFI 790
4GB OCZ 1066mhz
MSI 280 GTX
650Watts Antec Truepower Trio

this happened to me too(on both rigs..still does on older one)..and I have C1E and SpeedStep disabled...Far as I knew those were the only 2 things that could do that in the Bios...is it a setting in Vista?

In you can see it go up in CPU-Z. Leave it open and run a program that uses some CPU power and watch it go up.
