sager 2090 and the T8300

I bought my sager 2090 last august of 2007 with the T7300 and i just happened to come across a T8300 from a friend that gave me his T8300 and he upgraded to the extreme cpu. i installed the T8300 and it only runs at 1.6 and not the 2.4 which it runs. i know the sager 2092 runs the T8300 since thats nonething but a bios upgrade from the 2090. i called tech support and they said the 2090 only supports up to t7700.

My question is, is there a way to just upgrade the 2090 bios to the 2092's and where can i get the 2092 bios from. i have looked around and couldnt find any. i know other computer companies release bios upgrade when new cpus come out and stuff (like DELL and GATEWAY). i am happy with my SAGER but if i would have known that CLEVO doesnt seem to upgrade their bios i wouldnt have bought from them and just gone with a M1530.

any help would be very helpful and thz for reading my long paragraph.

 

Is the multiplier stuck at 8x ? Have you tried stressing the cores with Orthos, etc, to see if the multiplier changes. Also try to set the highest multiplier using RMClock, or CrystalCPUID.

 

the CPU is speed stepping.

if you run a program like Notebook Hardware Control (NHC) or RMclock, you should see the CPU speed throttle depending on whatever you are doing.

run a wPrime 1.55 (32M Test... and set to 2 threads) benchmark test... that will tell you if the CPU is throttling correctly.
