Newbie: My CPU speed is wrong!

I have a KT3 Ulta-ARU motherboard and an Athlon 1400Mhz CPU with a 266MHz FSB.  My diagnostics tools tell me my CPU is running at 1GHz though.
I can't get FuzzyLogic or the other MSI tools to work on my computer any more as they inevitably seem to just stop working and I can't uninstall them either.  So how in the BIOS do I fix my CPU speed?
I know this is a dumb question but I just can't figure it out after reading the manual or searching around the site.
Thanks!

No I typically have trouble with the MSI tools.  I do a clean install of WinXP Pro, and install the tools from the CD.  Then I run LiveUpdate, and invariably one tool conflicts with another, or it tries to update one but can't uninstall it, or both.  So I've just given up.  My computer is due for an OS reinstall soon anyways.
I just got an MSI GeForce4 TI 4200 video card a week ago too so I would like to have the MSI tools working!

  • IMPORTANT!!!! The CPU speed is wrong

    Hi, yesterday I rebooted my PC, but when I rebooted, in the first page where says your HDD's and all those things I read my CPU speed was AMD Athlon 1100 but I have an Athlon XP 2500, can somebody tell me what can I do to fix my problem?

    Always keep an old PS2 mouse and keyboard sitting on the shelf in your closet... that way when all the fancy USB and/or wireless stuff goes bonkers, or their batteries die... then you have something to fall back on.

  • How to check CPU speed, remove or install softwares? I'm a newbi

    Hi all,
    I just purchased my MBP yesterday. I'm totally new to this machine. I don't know how to see CPU speed, RAM, or other hardwares on this computer. Also, I don't know if the apple button use for what? I press "apple" and nothing happens. Last, could someone tell me how to optimize the computer? I had 80GB but now I have only 57GB availble. I don't know why this MBP uses so much space.
    Thanks again for all your help. I will have more questions for you
    P/S: I couldn't find these info by search.

    Hi y - Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Hi all,
    I just purchased my MBP yesterday. I'm totally new to
    this machine. I don't know how to see CPU speed, RAM,
    or other hardwares on this computer.
    click on the blue apple in the upper left corner of your display (a drop menu will open) then click on About This Mac.
    a window pops up. some basic system info is shown there.
    for all the add'l details, click on More Info...
    that will open up the System Profiler which lists everything hardware- and software-wise...
    the System Profiler is also sitting in Applications > Utilities, and you can also start it by double-clicking on its icon there..
    Also, I don't
    know if the apple button use for what? I press
    "apple" and nothing happens.
    the apple button on the keyboard is a "command key".
    i.e. most applications will quit if you enter the key combination apple+Q.
    save is apple+S, and so on.
    Last, could someone tell
    me how to optimize the computer? I had 80GB but now I
    have only 57GB availble. I don't know why this MBP
    uses so much space.
    fairly typical. the default installation process writes language
    localizations, many many printer drivers, and other things
    you may not need. you can use the application monolingual
    to remove language localizations that you don't want (download
    it from versiontracker). printer drivers are generally smaller,
    but some like keeping that to a minimum...
    also if iLife is installed including GarageBand - there might be some GB of
    'garageband loops' you might not need.
    so, all in all, how much you might be able to clean up depends on how
    you want to use your machine... post back w/ any details if you like...
    Thanks again for all your help. I will have more
    questions for you
    P/S: I couldn't find these info by search.
    enjoy your new machine!!! cheers

  • Wrong cpu speed

    I bought a 12" 1ghz Powerbook in 2003.
    It worked fine until a couple of weeks ago when I had to change the HD. Since then, my cpu speed is no longer 1 ghz but 867 nhz, which is as of the previous model...
    any help !?
    Jules

    ok so the pram didn't work, and I don't know how to access to the open firmware.
    But is there a way to know for sure at which speed my cpu is set, because if it's just an info issue, I don't realy care about it.
    and also I forgot, my fan is always on when I start my computer, and never stops since the hd replacement..

  • K9n2 bios reading my cpu temps all wrong

    K9n2 bios reading my cpu temps all wrong well actuly it not reading them at all my cpu AMD x2 5200 is said to be ideling at 26c but when i run a stress testor it stay at 26c so no change what so ever between load anf idle temps.
    my cou core temps are wrong any way and all wasy have been core 0 idle at -2c and core 1 -22c but they have goe up to core 1 26c and core 2 8c load so its obviously geting hotter but the motherboard isant repoting that it is :/ i have used manny difforent programs and all came back with 26-27c for the cpu no mater what i do i have bios 3.3.
    this never haped on my old ABIT kn9 sli it allways stated the corect cpu heat
    ohh and also speed fan carnt recogise the cpu it just says temp 1,2,3 for the motherboard where as befor it was cpu,core,chip and so on (that was with old board)
    any sugestions
    sorry for spelling im dyslexic

    well my cpu is back in my old motherboard with no problems at all no hard crashes and with the same ram timings the proper ram volts 2.1(msi board couldent handle 2.1v for ram) and the board only reports 26c no other temp used all temp programs and non of them changed when fully stresed only core temp showed any temp change but cart go buy that because my cores are so far off now on my old bard the temps go up and down like they should.
    i did clear the CMOS whith all unpluged
    all were at stock but ram voltage went to 1.8v so upped it to 2.1v (manual recomended) (wouldent start)
    at stock if i restarted pc for somthing like an update it wouldent post unless it was un pluged at pluged back in (at stock)
    and i have had no such problems with my old ASROCK board or my board im on now a ABIT kn9 570a sli
    ohh and the board came warped but the rear ports
    any way decided to go over to intel so got a EVGA board now and using a old p4 extream
    sorry to sound pissed of but 2 boards that were useless (each was from difforent Etailor)
    and windows was a fresh instal

  • 10.4.10 boosts CPU speed by 130mhz !?!

    Hi,
    After installing the Mac OS 10.4.10 update my iBook 1.2ghz now thinks it is... 1.33ghz!
    Am I the only one?
    In the many years of being a Mac user I have never had this happen before, and it 'appears' that know one else has reported it happening either.
    Not that I am complaining!
    But really, I have checked and double checked, and the fact remains that 'About This Mac' and System Profiler shows my CPU speed as 1.33ghz now - has the update over-clocked my machine?
    When I get a moment I will run a benchmark to see if that is the case, or whether the update is (more likely) just reporting the wrong speed...
    Let me know if you have experienced this

      Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    Ok, I've just run XBench, compared the results with other users iBooks, and the conclusion is...
    About This Mac is lying.
    I had, and still have, a measly 1.2ghz
    I feel like one of those kids who buy's a old 3-Series BMW and then sticks a M3 badge on it to look cool.
    Anyway, I would still like to know if anyone else has had this weirdness happen after the update.

  • Detect cpu speed and memory

    hi! i'm a newbie in java.
    i have a web project requirement that needs to detect the client's cpu speed and memory and diplays it on the webpage. could i do this in java applet? can someone direct to the right resources on how i would be able to do this.
    thank u so much!

    Aside from the System.capabilities class, I don't believe you
    can get
    anything more without using one of the wrappers like

    my config:
    k8n neo platinum
    amd 64 2800+ (fsb 200mhz and multiplier 9x in the bios 1.4)
    1gb ddr 400
    ati radeon 9800pro 128mb
    i look for and i find : cpu-z indicates 200mhz for the fsb and 4x for the multiplier
    the same thing when i launch corecenter
    please help me    

    ok you're right  i restore the correct frequency
    thank you thank you thank you
    but it's nevertheless strange my multiplier moved from 4x to 9x on account of cool and quiet

  • How to get statistics (or precise data) about cpu speed and RAM

    My problem is I want to determine the CPU speed of the computer is running the applet.
    I know there's no way to obtain in a simply (and standar) way this property, so I've thinked about generating statistic methods for do it (something like executing a loop a defined iterations)
    My doubt is what to put inside this loop, beacuse I would like to know just not CPU speed (or satistics about it), I need also free RAM statistics, so I've thinked there would be some specific java instructions to give a relationship of these data I need.
    My question is if someone has done (or has thinked about) this kind of classes before me, and can tell me what is the best way to make the same.

  • T430 CPU speed question

    Hi,
    I recently bought a T430 advertised as having this cpu:
    Intel Core i7-3520M Processor (4M Cache, up to 3.60 GHz) 
    However in my control panel the i7 cpu shows up as 2.90 GHz. Can anyone please tell me if there is some option to increase the speed in the BIOS or similar? Many thanks.
    Michael.

    The CPU can dynamically change speed in order to conserve power. If you have a CPU speed monitor you can see these transitions routinely. Here are some samples showing my T430s (i5-3320M up to 2.60GHz) taken about a minute apart:

  • Program taking up all of CPU Speed

    Hello,
    I have been lucky not to have to use the forum, until now. I recently installed a program called Garage Sale. I decided not to use it and deleted it (drug it over to trash from the finder window). Well,(now at least a week later) I turned on my computer this morning and it was running really really slow. I was finally able to get into the activity monitor and was able to find the problem. A piece of Garage Sale was still running (Garagesalehelper) and it was taking up to 65 - 80% of my CPU Speed. How to do I get rid of this thing? Thanks for any and all help.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, JoeCat24
    To stop the offending process immediately, you can highlight "Garagesalehelper" in the main Activity Monitor window and then click the red "Stop Process" button. However, this fix is only effective until you restart your Mac or the application.
    To get permanent relief, you must properly uninstall Garage Sale.. I do not use Garage Sale, so I cannot give you specific, step-by-step instructions. You will need to find the proper uninstall instructions. Some applications come with an uninstaller. Others list all the files that must be removed along with their locations
    If you still have the Garage Sale installer or Readme files, check there to see how to properly uninstall. If you do not have this information, you may need to download the installer again to see if uninstall instructions are available there. Sometimes it is simpler to reinstall the application and then use the Help files to find out how to properly uninstall.
    If none of those things work, I suggest that you contact the software developer and ask him for instructions on how to uninstall his app.
    If this GarageSale is the app causing your problems, the developer offers email support via his "Contact & Support" link.

  • Firefox wants newer Flash player but my machine doesn't meet Flash 10.2 CPU speed

    Just installed Firefox 3.6 and it says I need to update Flash player plug-in, but my machine doesn't meet the current Flash player 10.2 system requirements, ie for CPU speed. My CPU is 1.7 GHz. New Flash wants something like 2.4 GHz. I have 128 MB of dedicated graphics.
    IE does display flash content, using Flash active X plug-in, 10.0.32.18
    Otherwise like Firefox.

    Update to the latest version of Flash that is compatible with your system. (probably 10.1 r102) After that ignore Mozilla's messages about needing to update Flash.
    IE uses a different version of Flash (ActiveX) than other browsers use (Plugin), so it's like comparing apples and oranges.

  • How to boost nokia e63 cpu speed

    hello, please i am wondering if it is possible to boost the cpu speed of nokia e63, become its usually slow when performing various task like 1. When installing an application 2. When opening some big third party applications like opera mini, whats app, and some games 3. When removing an application, these are the areas where i,ve noticed nokia e63 being slow
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Try closing apps which is running in the background. Clear browser cache and uninstall 3rd party applications which you don't use. Turn off theme effects. All this could affect the "speed" on your phone in a positive way.

  • Minimum usable CPU speed for Photoshop Elements

    It has a CPU described as:  A4-5000 APU with Radeon (tm) HD Graphics 1.5 GHz.
    Windows 8.1 operating system.
    Will I be able to use Photoshop Elements on this?

    I know about the min specs. The reason I'm asking if it really checks the CPU speed is I have a school that *is* running Premiere Elements 10 on the exact same hardware. Same CPU. The only difference is the new version I'm trying to install is the volume license version, part of the Adobe Digital School collection. The school that already has it running is using Premiere Elements 10 with either separate licenses or some other license setup. So it doesn't make sense why it worked but doesn't now.
    Testing today. On my test PC, a Core 2 6300 XPsp3, the setup would start up OK using the non-VL installer, but fail when I tried to use the setup.exe from the new installer. As far as I know the program is the same, but I don't think I can do the XML customizations needed to do a silent installer on the non volume licensed version of Premiere Elements 10. In short, why does one version of PE 10 install but not the other?
