Weird Issue g50v cpu

When i have my CPU on turbo mode extreme i noticed my clock is jumping from 2.79ghz (the normal OC speed from Extreme mode) to 3.1ghz. This is way higher then the normal clock speed of 2.5ghz but all temps remain with in normal temps and the system seems stable no crashes what so ever.

Should i be concerned at all?

edit: it doesn't remain at 3.1ghz it only goes up that high fo 5-10seconds when cpu usage is highest (EX: when loading a new map in WAR but not under normal play in war.....or when first opening word or firefox.)

Edit2: it just jumped to 3.66ghz for a second

 

Nothing to worry about.

A processor follows "instructions", for example in-order processing, out of order processing etc.

The "instruction" you are speaking of is called SpeedStep
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpeedStep

There are 3 protocols. SSE, SSE2, SSE3.

Basically, Speedstep allows your Processors clock speed to dynamically shift to the burden put upon it.

Your seeing that youself. You said as the CPU burden gets the highest you see the processing speed fluctuate higher and higher.

What your seeing is Intels Speed Step !

 

Also, search about Intel Dynamic Acceleration Technology

random paragraph:

The new chips will be able to overclock one of the cores if the other core is not being used.

"The idea is the following," explained Eden. "If you are running a single threaded application, one of the cores can go to sleep, and the left over power can be used by the other core - we give it a turbo boost; the ability to run faster than it used to.

"This is not overclocking. Overclocking is when you take a chip and increase its clock speed and run it out of spec. This is not out of spec. Here, it is within the spec of the dual-cores, we just identify when one core is not using the headroom and we give it to the other core.

"This is called Enhanced Dynamic Acceleration Technology. We've had problems implementing it, but we've been able to do it in Santa Rosa," Eden said.


Though what you are experiencing is probably just from CPU LevelUp..

 

thanks for the reply's seeing it go upto 3.1 and 3.66 ghz from 2.5ghz originally was a bit high in my opinion that's about 45% over spec speed at 3.6ghz
