Athalon XP clock speed problem
I hav just installed a K7N2 Delta Mobo in my system, but I'm having CPU clock speed problems.
The Bios and the Infoview program both state that the CPU clock is running at 1105 Mhz. I am sure this should be 1533 Mhz for an 1800xp.
I updated the bios using MSI live update, and the first time I booted the system, the bios displayed the speed as 1533 Mhz, but on every subsequent boot up it is back down to 1105 Mhz again.
How can I get my processor to run at the correct speed?
Thanks

KT4V / Athlon 2400 Clock Speed Problem
Hi,
I have recently built a system with the following specs:
Mobo: MSI KT4V-L Ultra
CPU: Athlon XP 2400
Memory: 512 DDR (2700)
Vidieo: Geforce Mx440
PSU: 350 W
OS: Windows 98 SE
CPU Temp: 41 Idle
49 Under Load
I booted up the system and the bios recognised the cpu as an athlon xp 1800. It booted into windows and windows also detected it as an 1800 (and no this wasn't the clock speed..) I ran MSI Fuzzy Logic 4
and that detected fsb as 100 and Multiplier as 15.
I initially tried to up the fsb but that was causing the pc to hang as soon as it went much over 110. I was a little confused by now as I thought an athlon 2400 XP
should run with Multiplier of 15 and fsb of 133 giving ~2000 Mhz. I went into the bios and changed the multiplier from Auto to fixed 13.5, leaving the fsb at 100.
When I rebooted the BIOS detected the chip as 2400 XP. Windows also confirms this, Fuzzy logic 4 states the Multiplier is 20 and the chip is running at 2000 Mhz. I couldn't quite understand this so I ran WCPUID which also confirmed an Internal Clock speed of 2000Mhz.
This has all confused me a little - can anyone explain this? I thought the Multiplier on Athlon XP's was locked... and how did it get to 20!! Or is my CPU not really running at that speed?? The Realtime Clock
Count in WCPUID was also measuring at 2000 Mhz.
As already stated I can't get the fsb over 115 without the pc hanging....
( All other settings in the BIOS are as default )
Thanks for your time.Hi there,
I have a similar problem, except on a KT3 Ultra2-R running an Athlon XP2100.
To make a long story short, awhile ago I tried to optimized my CMOS settings, and the thing wouldn't boot...and when I could get into CMOS settings again, the dang thing wouldn't let me change the FSB at all, and I was stuck at 100 FSB, and my XP2100 was recognized as an XP1500 (I guess 100 x 13 = 1.300 gigahertz).
After reading your post here, I changed the CPU ratio to be 12.5/13, and lo and behold, when I got into Fuzzy Logic, my CPU was registering 2.000 gigs with a 20 CPU multiplier and my CPU was now an Athlon XP2400! I don't know where they got that 20 CPU X from, but I ran a test on Sysandra, and yep, Sysandra says it's an XP2400 and the test benchmark puts it around that level.
So...my XP2100 is now seemingly an XP2400, but my FSB is still a paltry 100FSB...this seems to affect memory benchmark testing, as my DDR333 RAM is auto sync with the 100FSB :(
Anyway, any of you guys run into stability problems? I just ordered an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe motherboard before I found this thread, so wondering if I should return it!
Thanks. -
Gtx 980 MSi Gaming App Clock speed problem
Hello guys, I've a problem with my GPU's clock speed.
I've MSI Z97-Gaming 5 motherboard, and MSI gtx 980 4g twinfrozr so both of this hardware uses the MSI gaming APP.
But the thing is when i pick Gaming Mode or OC Mode it works well for my CPU BUT! not for my GPU, it always at 962Mhz it barely goes to 1190 and comes right back.
When i check the site it says:
1216MHz Core (Boost Clock:1317MHz) (OC Mode)
1190MHz Core (Boost Clock:1291MHz) (Gaming Mode)
1127MHz Core (Boost Clock:1216MHz) (Silent Mode)
you can see the actual core speeds but 962 mhz is not even there ?
if anybody has an idea I'd really appreciate that.OK the problem was solved by loading an older version of the MSI gaming App from the Dvd . Now it is selected as " let the 3d app decide " at the nvidia control panel, and when im in game it goes up to 1368 Mhz and when im on desktop it goes down to 135 Mhz .

Clock speed problem with MSI K8M Neo-V
Hi all,
I'm a newbie on all this tasks of mounting my own PC, so I'm very sorry if my question is stupid and is already answered in the forum (I didn't find it).
I have the following components:
- MSI K8M Neo-V
- 2 SATA HD 160 Gb
- AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+
- 512 MB (PC3200 DDR SDRAM)
My problem is that I cannot get my AMD 3200 to run at 3200 Mhz. What I
only get is:
- CPU ratio x11
- CPU FSB clock 210
- Dynamic overclocking colonel (my BIOS doesn't have general or
commander, as shown in manual)
That makes a total of 2.31 Mhz, far away from the 3.2 desired.
If I try to change this values to others higher (such as FSB 230), I get a black screen
and I need to reset BIOS.
Please, could you help me solve this situation? I find it really
disturbing to have bought a new AMD 64 3200 with a good motherboard,
and not being able to make it run at the appropiate speed.
Thank you very much in advance.3.2GHz. Wow. I would kill to have an A64 at that speed. :D
Quote from: Tiresmoke on 14-April-05, 23:19:47
AMD's don't run at the speed they have listed on the CPU, rather that is a performance equivalent number. In this instance your CPU has the equivalent performance of an Intel that runs at 3200Mhz.
Actually I believe the Performance number equivalent to the MHz an AMD Thunderbird would be at, NOT an Intel CPU. -
Hi guys/gals,
I received today my memory: 2*512mb mushkins PC3200 400mhz...here is the problem:
everytime I boot up I receive a post saying: 333mhz. I ran sysmark: 200mhz*2, I ran cpu-z: 200mhz*2 and ran another tool saying I have to ddrs at 200mhz. but whenever I boot I receive the message 333mhz and whenever I run those tools I see detected 333mhz but when looking on them appart: the proggies mention the 200mhz.
I tried the latencies down to 2.5-3-3 but problem stil remains.
what can I do, please help!!!OK, I found something right for the change Hope you can do something with this...

MSI 6600GT AGP standard clock speeds?
Ok, I got coolbits installed. Opening the tab for the first time, The "no overclocking" button is selected, 2D is selected along with core clock set at 300 and memory clock at 900. I DO NOT have the "apply these settings at startup" selected yet.
I cannot find anywhere in the owners manual what the standard core and memory clock settings are supposed to be for thing. Can anyone tell me?Quote from: Trailryder on 14-February-05, 01:32:15
Thanks Richard, I'll try those.
Ok, just a sec, the core is 500. The ram on it is DDR. When you say 1000 for the ram clock speed that means I actually set the clock speed to 500, right? Setting it to 1000, because of DDR, would actually make the speed 2000. Is this right? Or does the actual setting slider not take into account the DDR(2x)?
You set the number to 2 times the memory clock speed. If you bring down the menu to 3D, it should be 900Mhz which is the default for the MSI. If you were to overclock it you would set it to 1Ghz, which is 100Mhz higher. The MSI card should be able to handle that with no problems. The memory is rated for 1Ghz. Once your start going over 1Ghz your starting to really overclock the memory. Most of the MSI cards should be able to do at least 1.1Ghz.
I have had two MSI 6600GT cards. The first card could do 1.17 on the memory stable. The second card can do only around 1.14. -
I have a Satellite Pro M30 notebook and whenever i check the system information, it shows that the clock speed is at 598MHz, whereas the processor should run a 1.5GHz. I have tried using the "always high" option from the BIOS, but that does not change the freqency at all. the notebook is substantailly slower than it would be and it has been like this since i purchased it.
What can I do to fix this problem?
Thank you for your helpDid you buy a new one or already used Notebook?
I ask you this because CPU speed is absolutely too low. It can happen after changing of motherboard because in this case it is necessary to update a special firmware to get the full CPU-speed.
Without this firmware the machine runs at a fixed speed around 600MHz. The best solution is to get in contact with the Toshiba Service partner and ask them if they can check motherboard.

NX8800GT-T2D512E-OC - no clock speeds at all
Greetings from the Netherlands,
I'm the proud owner of an NX8800GT-T2D512E-OC for a month now.
On Windows XP Pro I had no problemens I had no problems overclocking this VGA card.
But now I switched to Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit and my clock speeds disappeared.
GPU-Z, Rivatuner, Powerstrip, ATITool and even the overclocking module from MSI itself doesn't see any clock speeds.
I've tested with the 169.25 drivers from the Nvidia website and the 169.02 drivers from the MSI website.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advanceSorry i linked to the wrong one 174.74, use those 174.74 instead {which basically is the same , except supported VGA's}

I have intel_pstate disabled and am using the ondemand governor and my processor doesn't seem to run any slower than 1.6GHz. I also have a laptop that has an i7 (again with intel_pstate disabled and ondemand) and it will run as low as 800MHz. I believe that my laptop has a 2.2GHz chip and I know that my desktop (the i5) has a 3.1GHz chip. Is there a set number of steps that the chip is able to run at, therefore causing the lowest step on the faster chip to be faster than the lowest step on the slower chip? I would like to be able to get my desktop to idle at a slower clock speed. Is there anyway I can do this? According to the wiki, I can set the minimum clock speed in /etc/default/cpupower, but will I run into stability issue if I plug 800MHz into min_freq? Thanks.

The lowest frequency doesn't really matter as much as as how much your processor is able to enter sleep states. So when it is idling, it isn't at the lowest frequency level at all and is hardly using any power.
In reality, unless you are having problems with it, you should really use the intel_pstate driver. The ondemand governor worked well for many years, but was designed for processors over a decade ago. Things have changed and the pstate driver was designed and tailored to work with today's Intel processors. I don't see why you wouldn't take advantage of that if it works correctly for you.
I disabled it as part of some debugging some time ago, and things are actually snappier without it so it got left off. It is a noticeable difference on the laptop, and extends my battery slightly -
Nf750-g55 phenom 2 965 clock speed issue
Hi all new to the forum here,
I seem to have an issue with my clock speed showing up higher than i have it set in the bios according to cpuz. Regardless of what I had the clock speed set at, it keeps appearing as 4ghz (200 x 20) in cpuz when i check it. It is affecting my stability when testing because regardless of the adjustments made in the bios, it still appears to be at 4ghz according to cpuz. If anyone has experience with this and can help me I would appreciate it, thanks.

what changes you made in bios setup?
and what's current bios version installed?
I was originally running at that speed 4 ghz (200 x 20) but only tested for stability. I wanted to re overclock by fooling around with some fsb numbers, also while benchmarking at different intervals. This is when I realized the problem when I downloaded cpuz, as before I was testing only via prime95. Even with small jumps in clock speed in the bios, it was unstable, which i think is attributed to "being stuck at 4ghz" while I can get it stable with 1.48-1.5v. Bios is version 1.2, and any changes made that are not default appears to have the same problem.
I do not understand why my Cpu meter gadget shows the correct speed according to the bios, while cpuz show the 4ghz speed. -
What's the minimum Clock Speed Requirement for GB3?
What's the minimum Clock Speed Requirement for GB3 (assuming one wishes to create and play mult. audio tracks within this current iLife app)? Is it 733mhz?
Here's what i was able to find on
iLife ’06 requirements:
To install iLife, you need:
• A Macintosh computer with a PowerPC G4, G5, or Intel Core processor; 733 MHZ or faster required for iDVD
• 256 MB of RAM; 512 MB recommended
• Mac OS X version 10.3.9 or Mac OS X version 10.4.3 or later; Mac OS X version 10.4.4 recommended
• iTunes 6.0.2 and QuickTime 7.0.4 (included)
• A DVD drive for installation
• 10 GB of disk space to install iLife '06 applicationsThanks Christoph, TIA, and AppleGuy!
Christoph, what model are you using? You said you have even less Mhz, but your model looks like the same as mine.
TIA, I looked at the other thread (thanks for the link) any idea what other models are affected by the sound output problem?
I probably will back up first just to be safe, and won't try running them both at the same time. I was hoping though to have full functionality of the Podcasting features plus all the old music ones without slowing the machine down.

CPU Clocking speed is under advertised​?
I bought this laptop at Best Buy a little over a month ago and I just realized that the clocking speed is 600 MHz under what the advertised speed was and you guys have advanced settings whitelisted(which I completely don't agree with, it'd be my own risk anyways as you can tell if the settings were altered) so how am I supposed to get it to what was advertised? Is there any way of getting in the advanced settings?
Hi,
Have you read:
http://www.amd.com/en-us/innovations/software-technologies/turbo-core
"AMD Turbo Core technology dynamically adjusts to give you a performance boost just when the operating system requests the highest processor performance. If a core is operating below maximum limits and your workload demands additional performance, the processor frequency will dynamically increase until the upper limit of frequency is reached. As your workload subsides, the core returns to normal frequency. This gives you optimized application performance within the thermal and power limits of your APU."
Your machine:

[G505s] Clock speeds stuck at 2.1ghz since BIOS 2.05 update
I have a Lenovo G505s with an A10-5750M APU
and since the BIOS upgrade from earlier this year (link to BIOS update)
my clock speed has not gone over 2.1ghz. During BIOS 2.03 my laptop
was able to reach 3.1ghz stable after power switched to the adapter
instead of battery, but now during BIOS 2.05 my processor clock speed
has been stuck (at 2.1ghz) and doesn not change with power plans of either
Windows 8 or Lenovos Energy Management Tool. Is any one else experiencing
this issue and/or have a workaround for this problem?
Thank you for your time and hope to hear from the community.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Replace current bios download link with the correct filename of needed bios.
83cn33ww.exe is v2.03
83cn32ww.exe is v2.02
I often wonder why either a good question or concern is often overlooked on these forums. Maybe this is not a popular model in the States? Where are all the self proclaimed computer experts that seem to post all over the internet? How about Lenovo Support Staff? Guess it's a little early in the evening to be so critical, but I thought I would pass on this nugget of knowledge, especially considering the bios downgrade helped. -
Re: helix CPU speed stuck at low clock speed
Admin edit - Reorganizing this thread slightly as we are actively investigating the symptoms being discussed here. Several different low end clock speeds of 600-800mhz are being reported capped under a variety of circumstances - sometimes cold boot, sometimes after suspend / resume or dock / undock
motku wrote:
Same here (helix ci7), after suspend and wakeup when CPU slows down ist get stuck at 750MHz and dose not recover untill reboot.
Before the BIOS update I could unplug the AC adapter and work with full speed on battery.
I have the exact same issue. It is quite annoying.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Mark, theres more.

What helped - installing win7, lenovo power manager, change power plan to other and change back to previous)
I tried to do some research and what i found:
In normal Lenovo power manager wheres 2 options in power plan:
System perfomance (Maximum turbo, Turbo, Balanced, Low) (lets call it PERF) and Optimise fan control to (Maximize perfomance, Balance all parameters) (lets call it FCNTL.
In theory FCNTL must control only fans, like table of data cpu temperature/fan speed. But in reality it affects CPU speed.
Only way to make PC always select speed from lowest to highest is to set PERF=Maximum turbo or Turbo, FCNTL=Maximize perfomance.
Lets go through options how they really works in practice:
PERF
Maximum turbo and Turbo are equal, means highest speed for CPU with turbo boost. The level of turbo bust is always maximum, Turbo didnt mean "slow turbo boost".
Low - cpu always at lowest speed 800mhz - thats ok.
Balanced - this option works a little crazy. In some situations it means "maximum cpu till 63C", in some situations it means "lowest speed, temperature doesnt matter. Why is it working in different ways but in same settings i dont know.
In theory Balance is something like "from lowest cpu speed till normal cpu speed, no turbo boost", but it doesnt work like that at all.
FCNTL
Maximize perfomance - in theory it must be "try to keep CPU on lowest temp when high load"
In practice its like "Balanced in PERF" - logic is unknown.
Balanced - the same, logic is unknown.
Unknown really means, that when i, for example, setup PERF=Maximum turbo or turbo and FCNTL to Balanced, sometimes it works in full speed and sometimes not.
Maybe there is logic, but it tottaly unknown to users.
The bad thing is that theres no way i can set mode "always run cpu from lowest speed till highest speed without turbo boost, 800-1800mhz".
By the way, there is some error in Lenovo power manager - when i change options in power plan and click "apply", sometimes they a apply, and sometimes not. If not, i need to select other power plan, and then select the needed one back.
Now about how this all can happend. I'm not shure that i'm right, but logically it is:
In Lenovo power manager theres option called "Optimise fan control to". And, there is NO such option in real windows power plan, so, it can be only changed through Lenovo power manager. As i see, this option affects maximum cpu speed. So, lets say, if this option is "damaged" some way, theres no way it can be fixed in windows 8, because Lenovo power manager for windows 8 has too few options, and native windows power plan editor doesnt have this option at all. So, when i done "something" in Lenovo power manager for windows 8, it changed that setting and all ruined.
Sorry for my bad english once more, hope you can understand what am i trying to say. Looks like we have 1) an error in power manager for win8 and 2) incorrect power option logic, or "specific" logic without a manual.
The strange thing, that in BIOS we have this options too. But changes in BIOS doesnt affect this at all.
P.S. by the way, when i got my helix, dock battery was having "wear level" = 1%. Now, after 6 days (battery info 5 cycles) it has "wear level" = 2%. Is it normal, or battery is bad?
