Ok
I have a P4 630 which I beleive should run stock at 3.0 ghz. When i use something like cpu-z or throttle watch, it says my cpu frequency is running around 2.8 ghz. Does this mean then my chip is running below 3.0ghz and why would this be? Is this because of the new Thermal Monitor 2 (TM2) which, as in the case of the enhanced halt state, reduces clock speed (to 2.8GHz) and voltage as well? Or is it because of Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST)? My point being is I would have thought I should be running at 3.0ghz unless I'm, overheating or something, which I am not. In fact, the temps I get are pretty good considering everything I'd heard about scotty.
