I have an E8400 Core 2 duo. It is suppost to reach 3GHZ. At idle it runs at 2GHZ because of speedstep. I have a program that forces CPU usage up. If i put cpu usage to 96% in both cores, the multiplier goes up to X8.5 and 2.8GHZ.
It is suppost to reach X9.0(right?) and 3GHZ. Why isn't it?
I'm just wondering, the CPU speed has been fine for games and ect.
This is it's stock speeds(i changed nothing.)
Core speed:2833MHZ(should be 3000MHZ!!!!!!)
Multiplier:X8.5(suppost to be X9???)
Bus:333.3MHZ
FSB:1333.2MHZ
Core voltage: 1.088
IT IS Suppost to be 3GHZ when not idling ... So why is it running at 2.8????FFS
