Low clock speed with amd 3400+

hi all,
i have an amd 3400+ 64bit and i have downloaded multiple hardware information programs which state that my CPU clock should be between 2.8ghz - 3 ghz with this type of processor, however i only have 2.1 ghz.I have searched the bios and have notice many features are unavilable, i basically cannot change anythings except boot devices and other things that are not usefull to me, my bios does not give the option to change clock speed, or voltage, or bus speed. my current FBS is 201 mhz and my motherboard is MSI k8T800 7010 with phoenix awardbios 6.00pg version 1.14 03/02/04 can any one help me please i would like to get my processor to the correct speed of 3 ghz.

ah right, so it also says the maximum clock speed is 3000 mhz , so with overclocking can my processor achieve this? i have 1 mb of l2 cache.
EDIT what do i do with the bios though because i have a really slow fan that i need to speed up but as i said hardly anything can be done from my bios?!

[AMD] Highest clock speed with K8N Neo Plat + A64 3200+ Newcastle?

Who owns the exact setup (ram+cpu+mobo) as me and what is the clock speed you all achieved? Mine can only go till 220x11, Ram at 220mhz,
(2.4ghz, DDR440)?

The place I bought my parts from were selling similar ready-built systems with K8N and Geil Value Ram (not Golden) so I thought it would have been fine also (same Antec case and PSU)...
300W and 10A is pretty low for a PSU (mine's only 350W and 16A though) - but your problem sounds very much like my original problem (although worse).
Take a look at Ram that does not work well with MSI K8N:

angusmcchris: Kingston Value RAM doesn't work so hot. Would have saved me a weekend's worth of horror if I had found this thread earlier. I had to lower the RAM speed down to 166MHz to get it to work, and now its time to go to bed.

eLeCTR0n: I have a Kingston DDR 400 MHz 512MB card (not the HyperX). I couldnt do anything first when i had it installed in slot 1 running at Max Mem Clock of 200. I couldnt install any OS. i got the blue screen million times and many different ones. Even linux failed to install until i slowed it down to 166 in the BIOS then everything worked fine. Then i wanted to see if i had a defective motherboard or ram card so i bought a PNY DDR 400 512MB ram stik pulged in at 200 and it worked perfectly.
Also look at Ram that works well with MSI K8N for good, compatible RAM...
I can't recommend Crucial Ballistix enough: 2-2-2-8 timings @ 1T on AUTO settings. Never had a single glitch with hours and hours of Doom3, Half Life2, etc...

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!

Mark, theres more.
I found a "pseudo workaround" of this problem and hope this could lead to the real workaround.
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?

CPU Clock speed with Belle Update

The original symbian^3 devices run on the ARM 11 Processor which has been optimized to function close to 1GHz. But they're currently running at a speed of 680 MHz. My request to Nokia is that please optimize our processor speed to atleast 1GHz with the upcoming belle update. If you haven't planned on doing it, please do it with a minor update atleast after you release belle. I'm not an expert on this. So suggestion and comments are welcome.

I would be surprised if the rest of the hardware in the phone, like the RAM etc, couldn't support the maximum CPU clock speed. When such sophisticated electronic devices are designed it's impossible to know until it's all been put together how it will actually perform as a complete unit - the hardware, software, battery capacity, etc. The clock speed allows a fine-tuning once everything comes together, to get the optimal balance.
Well-made software makes a huge difference to how much CPU/hardware resources are required. Software efficiency is the most important factor of all.
A GPU is only there to perform tasks that would otherwise take up huge amounts of CPU resources. Dedicated graphical tasks such as 2D scrolling, 3D texture-mapping/filling for example. But that's all. The CPU is still running the whole show, but just has much of the load taken off it by the GPU.
So with the GPU doing more and more, the CPU and it's speed become less relevant.
A few things here, some of what you have mentioned I agree with. But some I dont. Firstly when any device is designed, things like the GPU and RAM are all allowed for, that is the speed at which each is capable. There is no use taking pot luck saying oh we think that will be enough. Its all calculated right from the word go.
Its done for several reasons, firstly costings, there is no use producing something that is so expensive no will be able to afford it. secondly to make sure you dont end up with bottle necks in data flow. Also it no use producing something that is so slow that you cant do anything worthwhile on it. That is some of the reasons.
You are absolutely right about software, well made software installed in a relatively slow running device can quite often beat poorly designed software running on a fast machine at exactly the same task. O/S like windows for instance, in my opinion only, whilst full of features, is definitely bloated, and not well designed. A standard install disc for windows these days is around the 3Gig mark (depending on version of OS), where as something that does exactly the same thing like Linux still fits on a 700M cd.
And you are right about the GPU, its does relieve the pressure on the cpu. Unfortunately the gpu in an N8 or an E7 is only running at 200Mhz. Considering most things are graphical based on these phones. I would have to wonder how much of the gpu is being used, especially when the one chip is running everything from the 2d/3d graphics/rendering, the camera up to 12MP, HDMI, HD video recording and play back, a stack of video codecs etc.
Unfortunately the main cpu from everything i was able to find is simply listed as an ARM11, these processors run on several Nokia's phone, including the older E90 (which had dual cpu's but ran at much slower speed of about 332 Mhz., however the Arm site list the ARM 11 as several versions, including one that actually has 4 cpu on the one the chip but only presents itself as 1 cpu to the rest of the hardware, with this cpu running anywhere up to 1Ghz. So its entirely possible that the 680Mhz listed for the N8/E7 could be as fast as it goes. Also the current versionof the ARM11 have a power consumption of 0.21mW/Mhz. so based on that figure a processor running at 680Mhz would consume 142.8 mW, but at 1G it would be 210mW, that a difference of 67.2mW. That would mean your phone would go flat a lot quicker. This info is based solely on information that I can find on Nokia run sites, ARM's site and broadcoms site. That way we can beleive what we are able to read with some certainty. I did find other non-related site suggesting 720mhz for the cpu, but they are only a 3rd party mobile news site, that said it had been suggested that it was capable of 720Mhz..
But i do firmly believe with efficient code the phones can perform extremely well, Anna certainly seems faster than the old Symbian ^3 version that was on the phone prior to Anna, whether or not Belle can be made any more efficient remains to be seen. But heres hoping.

How to get higher clock speeds with OC Genie?

I am 100% new to overclocking and I just built my new pc...
Bios version 1.5
Intel I7 860 Cooled with Corsair H50 Push-Pull
MSI P55 GD65 non USB3
2x2gb Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600(Running at 1333 for some reason)
Zotac Geforce 9800GTX+ 512mb
Antec Trupower Trio 550w
2x WD Caviar Blue 160gb in Raid0
When I hit the OC Genie button it gives me 3.54GHz. Is there anyway to get to 4.0GHz with my setup.
Have not changed any settings myself all was done with the OC Genie button
My temps are around 42' with fans on lowest settings

Quote from: Bernhard on 01-May-11, 15:25:22
OK, so you are able to set your CPU voltage manually. You need to consider that the auto voltages will compensate only up to a certain OC level, after which the user usually has to do manual adjustments. This auto compensation differs for each hardware combination. As HU16E suggested, try low VDroop and see if it helps. The other alternative is a BIOS flash, or manual voltage settings.
I tried low vdroop but it didn´t make any difference. But it´s ok, i can set the vcore manually but i was just investigating if i could get the best of both worlds with the powersavings auto vcore offers during idle

Pavilion a6700y with AMD Phenom X4 9150e -- Unclock to full speed

I have an HP Pavilion a6700y with 6GB DRAM running the AMD Phenom X4 9150e quad core processor.
The processor is "clocked down" to 2000 MHz by HP, but is capable of running at 3200 MHz. How do I increase the clock speed to 3200 MHz?
Do I need to add additional cooling capability? There is one fan on the power supply, another on the side of the case and a third on the processor itself.
What is the risk of unclocking a processor?

Desert-Aries, welcome to the forum.
HP has the processor locked so it can't be overclocked.

I-trigue 3400 soundwoofer not working / right speaker low output compare with left speaker

Hi, basically i have 3 sets of creative i-trigue 3400 purchase as second hand. All these 3 sets have some minor problem. I trust my ability i able to repair it as iam a professional electronic engineer. Just need some advance information or guidance from creative big brother and sister.
i do check with the controller everything, because i have 3 sets so i able to verified the problem.
1)subwoofer not output----Is it problem with amplifier or any transistor damage? How do i start checking and verified it?
2)right speaker low output compare with left speaker----I already analysis it and would like to know is it the transistor prolem? Please let me know so i can start with my repairing.
From what i know, this model seem like going to discord soon, so is it possible send me a partial schematic on the 3400 so i can repair. Please let me know and reply me, i am waiting your answer. Thank you

seem like nobody reply my email, can creative technical provide some guide. I already mention i will repair myself.:angry:

Quadro 4000 owners - Clock speed at maximum with Premiere or After effects

Hey guys,
I just upgraded my Quadro 2000 to a 4000 (latest driver 311.35, and I'm wondering if all your clock speeds jump to maximum when running premiere or after effects? Even if no editing or playback is going on and GPU load is at 0%? Or do they they throttle down when idle? I'm using GPU-Z to check.
Mine Throttle down once I leave Premiere (or After effects).... just wondering if anyone else is having the same experience. I know they run really hot when the clock pseeds are at maximum.
Also, I do have powermanagement set to "prefer maximum" and I'm using video editng mode for ny base profile.
Salud.

Yeah, nvidia got back to me and saud if you set your powermanagement to 'prefer maximum' any program that access the gpu (hardware acceleration for insrtance), the clock speeds will max out.
Thanks for teh reply!

Disappointing MSI GTX 660 TF3 clock speeds / voltage, not on par with others

Hi,
I wanted to ask why is there suck a disperency between my GTX 660 TF3 speeds/voltage compared to other people.
My max boost clock is 1123.5 whereas most references i found are above 1150/60+ in average
My max voltage under full load in GPU-Z is 1.162 whereas others got 1.175
Is it linked to my poor ASIC of 68.8% ?
Currently disappointed because i thought that by buying an MSI card (premium priced in my country) i would got better clocks or at least clocks in the average range of other users. I guess i'm just unlucky, but being a bit burnt now, i think i'll pass and try another brand next time.
That said, is it normal that my card doesnt even reach a voltage of 1.175 under full load ???
Thanks in advance for your reply, and merry christmas anyways.

Quote from: zigzagzap on 26-December-12, 05:30:34
Thank you for the reply, but talking to me about overclock is a bit off-topic dont you think?
not really as the boost clock is an automatic overclock (the boost clock is down to the GPU as well, some will hit the target of 1150MHz some wont)!
Quote from: zigzagzap on 26-December-12, 05:30:34
Under stock presets (no-overclock-at-all), all of them have cards that got a 1.175 voltage under full load whereas mine is only 1.162
Even when you look at reviews on internet, you can see that they list 1.175v as STOCK voltages under full load in their default specs sheet for that MSI card.
All in all, gotta ask again, is it normal for my card to not run at 1.175v on stock presets? Yes/no?
like i said it depends on the individual GPU! most will run at 1.175V under load normally but some wont as its very random as no 2 are identical and the voltage the core asks for is very random from sample core to sample core!
its all luck of the draw..... <--- seen some referance cards that will out perform full custom ones.
if you not satisfied >>How to contact MSI.<< contact them and if you wan't a replacement then they will tell you how to go about it! <--- no expected voltages or clock speeds are ever fully garenteed as the newer GPU's are all over the place.

try reseting the BIOS by taking out the battery for 10 minutes. try running it again at optimized defaults (that means no overclocking) in slots 3&4.

M30 Centrino clock speed

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 help

Did 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.
Bye

I5 clock speeds

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

Does CPU clock speed(ghz) affect gaming quality?

Hey guys,
i was just wondering if CPU speed really matter when you play games. I am only going to play fifa, which isn't as graphic intense as other PC games.
Anyways, last year's MacBook Air had 1.7ghz as its processor, and i heard that it ran fifa 13 just fine.
However, this year's processor is only 1.3ghz, which is a lot lower than what i expected....however, according to real tests, the actual laptop speed increased about 5%. It was very surprising to me, but i guess it was cuz of the new gpu.
So, my question is, does CPU clock speed really affect gaming quality? Or if the actual speed increased 5%, does it not matter?
Thanks in advance!

You need to take into account the # cores when considering processing power. Computers run many processes at once. A duel core processor clocked at 1.7 GHz is not necessarily better than a quad core processor clocked at 1.3 GHz. The best analogy is driving. A two lane road with a the speed limit of 170 MPH. A four lane road with a speed limit of 130 MPH. When there is no traffic, you will arrive at your destination faster taking the first route. But when there is a bunch of traffic, you will be stuck in a bumper to bumper jam. Even though the speed limit is higher on the two lane road, you will arrive at your destination faster taking the four lane road. There are more lanes available to maintain the flow of traffic.
There is always traffic. Your computer runs many processes in the background, and individual games run multiple processes at once. Processing power is a combination of both the speed limit and the number of lanes.
And yes, the GPU should always be taken into account. It is a Graphics Processing Unit. Rendering graphics on your screen correctly is very important in regards to gaming. A discrete GPU is preferable to an a single integrated one, always, for gaming.
