CPU core speed changed

[cal931]

i bought a PC off a store on eBay 2 months ago. and when i got it my CPU core speed was 4.3 MHz. and now its only 3.3 MHz i think i might have did something when i was installing a graphics card (AMD Radeon R7 370 Series)

here is the info on the CPU, is there anyway i can change it back up to 4.3 MHz

You will have to research your boards BIOS options, and look for a way to change the multiplier and/or base clock frequencies.

(Are you certain it was at 4.3 GHz before? Perhaps your BIOS was reset to defaults?)

That processor has a 3.3ghz base clock and a 3.8ghz boost clock. If it was indeed running at 4.3ghz then it was overclocked, maybe some auto OC feature on your motherboard if you didn't manually overclock it.

you will have to overclock it again, eventually you updated the BIOS and resetted it while doing so to stock settings.

Normal settings are 3.3GHz to 3.8GHz for this CPU

would you be able to tell me how to do that?. when it was posted to me it was at 4.2GHz not 4.3GHz. but when i was installing my new GPU i must have did something to the bios and changed it back. and what does its mean by this "AMD A8-7650K Radeon R7, 10 Compute Cores 4C+6G" does that mean i have a dual processor?

you can overclock by reading guides like:

AMD A8-7650K Radeon R7, 10 Compute Cores 4C+6G means 4 CPU cores (quad core) and 6 GPU cores
