Problem Clevo D900C

Hello again, sorry for posting only when I am in trouble, but I need help with this issue, my processor is not working at the speed it should, somentimes does, but the most of them is working at 15xx mhz while should work at 2400 mhz (E6600 Core 2 Duo) I looked around and couldnt find anything of use. This happens while the computer is pluged in or with the battery. Pls help. and sorry again.
Just need someone who explain me what to do.

 

Sounds like it is speed stepping. Run something heavy duty and check the speed then. It should be back at 2.4GHz.

 

the speed stepping can get annoying and i think is controlled in more than one place...registry, drivers and bios all appear to be able to throttle the CPU.

just install rmclock. it gives you complete control over the cpu. you can store multiple entries and activate with a mouse click. I underclock my cpu for typical surfing, raise it for apps and games.

works wonders!

 

thanks for the info man im gonna try it, will post tomorrow the results.

thanks again u are the best

 

Something else you can try is Notebook Hardware Control. I have used it in the past on XP, have yet to use with Vista.. It can control and monitor your CPU undervolting, temps and a few other things. It can be found here

 

Speed stepping is a great feature though. Why burn all that power when your lappy is just sitting idle. I wouldn't disable it for any reason. Your CPU will kick into full power as soon as you do anything intensive... like gaming, compiling, whatever.

 

Kozi is absolutely correct. All or well the majority of laptops out today do that to conserve power, lower heat, and increase efficiency when sitting idle.

 

i use the Intel Thermal Asessment Tool or something along those lines, works great and shows accurate clock speed and temperature among other things

 

okay since we are in the temp topic what is the best sofware for temp monitor of the cores?
