huh? i5-2500 speed?

[Noah_Gamer]

hey everyone im a bit confused i just got i5-2500 and on bios i made it go 3.7ghz
but on Computer > Properities It Shows:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500 CPU @ 3.30GHz 3.29GHz <why 3.29?!

PLEASE HALP!

It will turbo to 3.7ghz. when system needs more power. I told you that earlier...remember?

Whatever you did in your BIOS just change it back. The i5-2500 turbo clock speed is also at 3.7Ghz so there is really no point in OCing it to 3.7Ghz.

And the 3.29 is maybe shown, because CPUs sometimes run a liiiiiiiittle bit slower/faster just something like 3.2997 so really no difference. Anyway 3.3Ghz and 3.29Ghz is no noticeable difference too, not even in CPU benchmarks.

in oc tweaking i made manual and changed something (i knwo what it is just dont remeber how named) to 37 (remember that 37 x 150mhz something like this)

EDIT: its cpu ratio

Leave bios on default settings. The CPU will turbo to 3.7 on its own when needed without changing anything.

Yea, probably 37x100Mhz = 3.7Ghz

But the stock turbo speed is also at 3.7Ghz so it's a 0% difference. 😀
You either OC higher (make sure you don't give it too much voltage and got enough cooling) or just change it back to automatic to avoid problems.

ok thx gonna change from manual > auto

 

[Noah_Gamer]

and ugh can you explain what you mean saying "when system needs power"

Here's an explanation of Intel turbo boost technology-
