3.0 Ghz showing as 2.0 Gigz ?
3.0 Ghz showing as 2.0 Gigz ?
Hi All ! How are you ?
I have a Pentium 4 Socket 478 3.0 Ghz Processor.
When in boots in Dos it show 3.0 Ghz
And in Windows when i right click my Computer and hit Properties it shows Pentium 4 3.0 Ghz -- and the 2.00 Ghz.
I have used CPUz and it shows my proccessor is a 3.0 Ghz but in all my games it shows as 2.0 ghz ?
Is it Possible that Jumpers on my Motherboard are restricting my CPU Speed - Or how do i make it run at its full capacity.
My buddy as a Intel Pentium 2.80 (Socket 478 and it show on his Properties - 2.80 / 2.80
Please help me find the solution to this problem ?
Thanks
Hay

What motherboard do you have?
What's the (stock) FSB of that mobo?

I am 63% addicted to Counterstrike. What about you?
Is the fsb running @ 800?
If so, try a bios update.
I had a friend once in a similar position, cpu ran @ 1.6 instead of 2.4ghz (or something similar anyway), it was due to the mobo's fsb. The way he fixed it to run @ 2.4 was to OC it

What are the options of his Motherboard using Cool/Quiet and those to throttle his CPU back to 2ghz? Games will show 3 ghz as his PC then boosts itself for the extra strain again...
Just a thought, use it, dont use it...

This might be the case - I have a P4 630, which runs (at stock mobo settings) at 2.8Ghz.....only when there is a load on the system, does it go to the full 3.0Ghz ..... Its a setting in the BIOS... (something like Cool & Quiet)....Slasher wrote:What are the options of his Motherboard using Cool/Quiet and those to throttle his CPU back to 2ghz?
