| 781680 | 2009-06-12 06:23:00 | Got the following system: MB: Asus P4S533-X CPU: Intel P4 2800 MHz When I check with CPU-Z, shows the following results: CPU Specification: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.8GHz Family : F Model: 2 Stepping : 9 Ext Family: F Ext Model: 2 Revision: D1 Clocks (Core #0) Core Speed: 1400.2MHz Multiplier: x14.0 Bus Speed 100.0 MHz Rated FSB 400.1 MHz Cache L1 Data: 8 KBytes L1 Trace: 12 Kuops Level 2: 512 KBytes I'm a little puzzled: From the above data, does it mean that it is running at half the speed? Have checked the BIOS settings which is similar to the above; have reset to default values with the same figures. Is there a way to make the CPU to run at 2.8GHz? |

| 781681 | 2009-06-12 06:29:00 | Hmmm I thought the bus speed should be at 200MHz. From what I know Intel's SpeedStep decreases the multiplier, not the FSB? Either way, go into the BIOS and change the bus speed from 100 to 200MHz, and that will give you 2800MHz. |

| 781682 | 2009-06-12 07:08:00 | If it supports speedstep, thats normal. It goes down to 1/2 speed when its idle / doing nothing useful / intensive. It'll run at full speed when youre doing something with it. Mine does the same thing. It's running at 1200 now, but runs at 2.5 when I'm using a program or doing something intensive. Do something like burn a dvd/cd, or something like video editing, it'll go up to full speed | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 781683 | 2009-06-12 08:25:00 | Should auto underclock when not strained, because of the Intel SpeedStep feature. Blam |
