Slow CPU
My new E7500 (@2.93) is only clocking in at 2.2 ghz when I use some utility I found online called "CPU speed pro". It's not tripping the thermal protection mechanism in the BIoS so I don't think heat is a problem. Should I just overclock it up a bit? Is clocking in slow normal?
Thank you! |

Re: Slow CPU
Depending on your motherboard chipset and operating system, the CPU may throttle down to conserve power and lower temperatures.
As I type this my 3 Ghz quad core runs between 800 and 1800 Mhz with an occational jump to 3 Ghz. |

Phew. I'm having a problem with the CMOS battery too and I was hoping I had not messed up the mobo in a way that wrecked the cpu's power supply. Thaks again!!

It is perfectly normal but can be disabled in the bios if required

Re: Slow CPU
Ok. In ubuntu I turned on a CPU monitor. The highest i can set the CPU at is 2.2. In win 7 under my hardware settings it says E7500 @ 2.93 2.2. I swear something is wrong.
What else can I do in th bios to speed up the CPU? |

Re: Slow CPU
All newer chips have Speedstep(Intel) and AMD Cool n Quiet(AMD) Not something you want enabled when overclocked at ALL.

Re: Slow CPU
yea as long as its reading the right speed at the POST, any variation in the system is due to speedstep or cool n quiet. both of which can be disabled.
