Q6850 2ghz?

[apsylum]

Hi guys, in cpu-z, under core speed, how come it says 2000mhz? isnt Q6850 3.0 ghz?

 

[lyssword]

it is in some power-saving mode, or your fsb isn't 1333 (which I think is 333x4 and 9 multiplier)

333x6 = 2 ghz. you are in power saving mode. you can disable in bios. don't worry, it ramps back up to 3 ghz under load.

Leave it in powersaving mode, you can confirm that it ramps up to speed by opening up a large file with cpu-z open.

Or run Orthos to push it to 100% usage.

Yeah this is a good thing when you run a game it goes back up to 3.0GHZ.
