Cpu-z only showing 800Mhz for X3 450

[elrasho]

I have enabled cool n quiet on the motherboard but cpuz shows my cpu running at 800mhz? I'm using Windows Server 2008 R2 so I ran some VMs using Hyper-V but my clock speed doesn't increase.

So I rebooted and now cpuz says 3200Mhz as the clock speed, even on idle. The BIOS shows the cpu is configured correctly, am I right in thinking cpuz isn't supported by Server 2008 R2? Is there another way I can check my clock speed in Windows Server 2008?

disable cool n quiet and it should go back up to full whack

Don't worry about it, cool and quiet downclocks when your not using the cpu to save energy

Nothing to worry about, it's a function on pretty much all modern CPU's - to downclock and save energy and heat.

*EDIT*

See it speed back up by using something like prime 95. Watch it clock back to normal!

Have a program running in the background and then run CPU-z and you will see a diffrence, same with mem clock as well

Memory doesn't down clock only the processor.
