Why's my CPU overclocking itself :)

I trust everest so assume this is right, my 2.5ghz T9300 seems to be running at 2.6ghz. I'm definately not going to complain, but whats the reason for this?
Cheers all!

 

How odd. Your multiplier is somehow set at 13x. The T9300 is supposed to be only 12.5x.

Mathematically, the multiplier will up your speed. Why the multiplier is higher than usual is unknown to me.

 

isn't it IDA running?

 

so i'm assuming its no probs, i've just somehow got more bang for my buck?

maybe its all the USB hubs xD

 

I'm assuming not. Temperatures aren't out of whack, are they?

As for IDA, shouldn't IDA just go to highest multiplier? Hmm. Cheese, try running another program, like CPU-Z, and then stressing the machine with Orthos or Prime95.

 

k will do now...

 

I bet LOL ..

no, IDA's multiplier is higher than highest normal multiplier.
But usually IDA runs for short time, then it reverts back to normal.

now tell me the truth cheese, have you installed the usb hub.. bcause if you haven't, I bet it's IDA

edit: boomer , forgot the edit button

should i have a big ?

 

Run intelburntest or ORTHOS with two threads, then if the CPU goes down to it's normal speed, you know that it was just IDA (which can increase your multi by .5x and 1x).

 

is there a way of setting the multiplier higher continuously? dunno much about OCing CPU cos my laptop has a 'locked pll' i believe its called, so i gave up learning.

 

the right person to asked is 1 post above yours.. LOL

 

i was asking moral

 

then you're asking the wrong question. You should asked "please help me OC my laptop"

afaik the only way to use it continuously is by running only single threaded app

 

na i wasn't after OCing info i was just wondering why the CPU was running faster than stated, but i thought while on the subject.... why not bash the question out.

SO YOU'RE WRONG

 

by the way, so is it IDA or not

 

There is no way to have the multi stay that high while having both cores work at full capacity.

You should unlock your PLL (i.e. disable TME), like this:

ok thanks kind sir. it will be in the future when i start thinking about gettin another computer...

and ye i can only assume its IDA although it seemed to be at that level for quite a while...

 

It is IDA. You will Only be able to see it in "action" using Hwinfo32 & Everest , not with CPUz.

 

No, CPUz works.

I can give you a screen shot if you need it

 

In rmclock, 13x multiplier is assigned to IDA for the T9300

 

Mine doesn't show up in CPUz Only in the 2 mentioned above.
Na man that's kool

 

Why do people ask this question? If anything you would think people would keep their trap shut when they got something a little more than what they expected, like this minor boost in clock speed with IDA and single threaded apps, if that is the culprit, which it most likely is. Intel regulates processors to be pretty uniform, as they standardize voltages for a certain letter series (E, T, P, X, Q, etc.). It's sort of like getting a twin turbo 302 when you should have just gotten a plain old 302, (not an engine to sneeze at still), i know IDA is standard on this processor, but it's an "unexpected" extra to this guy obviously, so he witnessed it working and felt it necessary to tell the world that he got a minor MHz boost.

 

Maybe cpuz doesn't fully support your CPU yet, here is my screenshot:

 

That's probably why , I'm using a "controversial" CPU.

chill. i was only asking what it was.
