Why the Maximum Frequency is almost always above 100%

I have got an HP Elitebook 8460p running Windows 7 x64.  It is about 4 years old and recently the fan seems to be working extra hour so I started to investigate what could be wrong. I cleaned up what I could see.
I have been monitoring my PCs behavior thru the "Resource Monitor", so far the only thing I found strange is that the CPU Maximum Frequency indicator is almost always above the 100% mark. CPU Usage behaves fine, I mean it goes up and down according to the what I am doing but not that Frequency which seems to very rarely go under 90% and most of the time is about 108%.
Should I be worried about this and is there anything I could do to improve this, asuming this is wrong ?

Dear Corobori -
I understand you are concerned that your pc is running at 100%.
You should try running a virus scan.
A good virus program is MalwareBytes. If you don't already have it, there is a freeware version to download.

I hope this resolves the issue for you.

  • Why the CPU Frequency will just stated at 1189MHz when the X230 had AC Power ONLY (Battery Removed)?

    Dear All,
    I bought a X230 (i7) notebook.  I found that if removed the battery from the notebook and only use AC power with the X230 Notenook.  The CPU frequency will stated at 1189MHz.  It will not change no matter how many program the notebook is running.  The CPU frequency will rise to 2.9GHz or upto Turbo when the Notebook with battery or battery and AC power.  Why the CPU Frequency will just stated at 1189MHz when the X230 had AC Power ONLY (Battery Removed)?  This is not right.  Any setting in the X230 Notebook need to change?  Please help.
    Solved!

    The situation is probably the same as it was for the X220. A 65W power adapter by itself doesn't provide enough power to run the computer at full speed, but it can when combined with a battery. However the 90W adapter may be able to run the computer at full speed without a battery.
    As it was with earler X-series. This is by design. It allows people to travel with the smaller, lighter 65W adapter. However for maximum speed and flexibility it's best to always use the 90W adapter.

  • Why the Flash Player updates almost every day?

    Why does the Flash Player update almost every day?

    You think these are the only/main cause of security issues?
    As a developer let me tell you it is far from the case. Most security issues are a direct result of user carelesness.
    Let me give you an example....
    I'm just a loley ole developer, no one special, but I do create many web apps/mobile apps, and many are free, and widely distributed.
    One example is a social networking web app based on html5 and google maps api - a gps enabled social web app.
    trufaces.com
    This is just one example of hundreds, I offer free hosting services truimagz.com/host and mush more.
    Anyway, the point is... do you have any idea how many people sign up using an email adress and their actuall email password as their login info?
    90%+
    I, just some schmuck, have access to over 50,000 email accounts and passwords at any given moment. Thank god I'm trustworthy eh?
    Just food for thought.

  • Why the Amount in local currency is always 0 for the new material in MB51

    Dear all,
    Every I have a new material number and when I create GR from Purchase Order for the first time, why the "Amount in local currency" always is 0 in MB51 or display material document (MIGO), althugh Price unit is not 0 in Purchase order .
    Would you like help me, please
    thanks
    imron

    Hello ,
    Logically speaking ,if there is stock , then u should have the cost/price.
    If u create a new material , & then the first stock is acquired via procurement , then u need not maintain the MAP/SP.
    BUT , if u create a new material & need to upload some existing stock , u need to maintain the MAP/SP so that the system knows the valuation of the stock.
    While doing a GR through  PO , the system picks the valuation form PO ( & also updates the material master MAP) , but for initial entry there is no reference & hence system takes the MAP from material master
    Hope this helps
    Regards

  • Why the 'LIKE' operator takes so much time to run?

    I have a table T with 3 columns and 3 indexes:
    CREATE TABLE T
    id VARCHAR2(38) NOT NULL,
    fid VARCHAR2(38) NOT NULL,
    val NVARCHAR2(2000) NOT NULL
    ALTER TABLE T ADD (CONSTRAINT pk_t PRIMARY KEY (id,fid));
    CREATE INDEX t_fid ON T(fid);
    CREATE INDEX t_val ON T(val);
    Then I have the following two queries which differ in only one place - the 1st one uses the '=' operator whereas the 2nd uses 'LIKE'. Both queries have the identical execution plan and return one identical row. However, the 1st query takes almost 0 second to execute, and the 2nd one takes more than 12 seconds, on a pretty beefy machine. I had played with the target text, like placing '%' here and/or there, and observed the similar timing every time.
    So I am wondering what I should change to make the 'LIKE' operator run as fast as the '=' operator. I know CONTEXT/CATALOG index is a viable approach, but I am just trying to find out if there is a simpler alternative, such as a better use of the index t_val.
    1) Query with '=' operator
    SELECT id
    FROM T
    WHERE fid = '{999AE6E4-1ED9-459B-9BB0-45C913668C8C}'
    AND val = '3504038055275883124';
    2) Query with 'LIKE' operator
    SELECT id
    FROM T
    WHERE fid = '{999AE6E4-1ED9-459B-9BB0-45C913668C8C}'
    AND val LIKE '3504038055275883124';
    Execution Plan
    0 SELECT STATEMENT Optimizer=ALL_ROWS (Cost=1 Card=1 Bytes=99)
    1 0 TABLE ACCESS (BY INDEX ROWID) OF 'T' (Cost=1 Card=1 Bytes=99)
    2 1 INDEX (RANGE SCAN) OF 'T_VAL' (NON-UNIQUE) (Cost=4 Card=12)

    I will for sure try to change the order of the PK and see whether there will be any impact to the performance.
    In our application, val is much closer to a unique value than fid. In the example query, the execution plan showed that the index on val was indeed used in the execution of the query. That's why the 1st query took almost no time to return (our table T has more than 6 million rows).
    I was hoping the 'LIKE' operator would utilize the t_val index effectively and provide similar performance to the '=' operator. But apparently that's not the case, or needs some tricks.

  • Maximum Frequency on PCI-6024E

    Hello, I'm just wondering what is the maximum frequency can PCI-6024E hold?
    My sensor's range is .016KHz - 16.6665 KHz, if this is too much, can I just use
    a divider to cover what is max limit of the card?
    Thanks!

    200Ksamples/sec on a single channel, per the specs:
    http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/370719c.pdf
    For optimum accuracy, sample at 5-10 times the highest frequency component of the signal if possible (minimum of 2x per Nyquist), that would be 166.6Ks/sec rate max which is still within range of the card.

  • Maximum frequency out on PCMCIA 6024E

    Hi all,
    I have a short question about the PCMCIA 6024E. What is the maximum frequency that I can generate on the counter out pin?
    Thanks for the help!
    Charel Marais

    The 6024E has a 20 MHz timebase on board. The counters on the 6024 work
    with two load registers for the number of timebase ticks the output
    should be high or low. The minimum value for both load registers is two
    timebase ticks. Thus the maximum counter output frequency is 20 MHz / 4
    = 5 MHz.
    I hope that helps,

  • What is the maximum number of contacts in a group that will send in an iCloud email? I'm sending from MacBookPro.

    What is the maximum number of contacts in a group that will send in an iCloud email? I'm sending from MacBookPro.

    Limits on Sending Messages  
    iCloud has several safeguards to ensure that only iCloud members can send messages using the iCloud outgoing mail server. Among these safeguards are reasonable limitations on:
    The total number of messages you can send each day (200 messages)
    The number of recipients to whom you can send each day (1000 recipients)
    The maximum number of recipients per message (100 recipients)
    The size of incoming and outgoing messages (20 MB)
    You can send 10 emails to 100 people each in a day, for example, or 198 messages with, on average, 5 recipients (and five ninety-ninths).

  • Magic Mouse battery always shows 100%

    Since upgrading to Mac 10.6.7, The preference window for the magic mouse always shows 100%.
    After installing MagicPrefs free drivers, (because Apples' sensitivity settings suck), MagicPrefs show
    a more accurate level of 84%. What gives here Apple? Are you letting the competition beat you at
    your own game? I'm getting disgusted with Apple's lack of support, fixes and updates to reported problems.

    From my troubleshooting, it seems it's specific to the individual mouse.
    I have two Magic Mice on my desk, one for a MB Pro and one for an iMac.  The "trouble" Magic Mouse, which always shows "100%" AND frequently disconnects, did so in 10.6 and 10.7. on my MB Pro.
    I thought maybe the Bluetooth module on my MB Pro was bunk--so I swapped mice and took the "stable" Magic Mouse on the iMac and paired it with my MB Pro--no problems.  The "trouble" Magic Mouse, formerly on the MB Pro, now on the iMac--exhibits the exact same problems--it seems to be the specific mouse, not the OS or Bluetooth modules on either host computer.  Hope this helps.  I guess I'll be making a trip to the Apple Store to see if they can fix/replace my "trouble" Magic Mouse...

  • Why FormBuilder add one digit in the Maximum Length of number items...????

    Hi,
    Why does Form Builder add one digit to the Maximum Length property of number data base block items...????
    For example , if a db column is of datatype number(2)... then this item is represented by 3 digits- not 2- in the Maximum Length....This is true if the data block is created via the block wizard....
    Would it be any problem... if in the above example , i modified the Maximum Length to 2 ...????
    Have you noticied it...????
    Thanks,
    Simon

    In forms the definition of a number items length is the length of how many characters it holds and not how many digits.
    If you have length 4 and you want to set a value of 22.22 it will not accept, since 22.22 is 5 characters 4 numbers and the decimal point. And just like Paul said, if the number is negative then you need one more character for the " - " minus sign.

  • I sporadically can't use certain Google features (Gmail, Documents, Calendar, etc.). The error I always get is "SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length. Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long"

    SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.
    Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long
    I get the above message often (but not always) when trying to access my Gmail account, Google docs, calendar, etc. There's really no rhyme or reason for when it works vs. when it doesn't, but I've found that typing in something like "www.gmail.com" never works. When I use the history (or the search bar) it occasionally works.

    Just cleared out the cache and removed all cookies, but I'm getting the same error when I try to open my Google Calendar.
