Hey all,

this is a screen of CPU-Z on my system i have nothing running inthe backround just the usual stuff MSN, Anti-virus etc etc

and it says my CPU speed is 1.3Ghz ?

Why is that ?

Here is my setup.....

what could it be any ideas ?

That cpu has an unlocked mulit. It's default should be 13.5. Have you set it?

Or do AMD have a form of "speedstep"? In which case it will increas under load.

Also make sure the bios on board supports the 7750. You might need a bios upgrade.

AMD cool and quiet. CPU clock multiplier is reduced when CPU demand is low. Just run prime in the background, and watch it change.

Yea, its a power saving function. Just underclocks itself when it doesnt need the extra clock cycles

No problems there lol.

You should be able to disable it in the BIOS if you want

The fact youve just said that automatically shows you dont know much about overclocking and need to do some research haha

The stickies in this section such as theBeginners Guide to Overclocking are a good start. Its quite old now but the basics are still the same.

Just search around for overclocking guides, will be easy enough to find and a lot more use than a single post here. You can just raise the fsb, but it alters pretty much every component in your PC so best to understand it properly first
