OK....so i have the Intel 2 Quad Core 3.0 Ghz processor..ill link it http://ark.intel.com/products/35428/Intel-Core2-Quad-Processor-Q9650-12M-Cache-3_00-GHz-1333-MHz-FSB

But when i start my pc it says the name of the processor. but instead of 3.0 ghz it says 2.67 ghz so why would this be

check on your mobo's website, see if the 9650 is included on your bios version.

Have you set the correct cpu multiplier (9) and fsb speed (333Mhz)?

Settings within the BIOS to ensure CPU is set to run correctly. Check your motherboard manual.

krisschils1256 :

Go to your BIOS and load the optimized defaults, afterwords, save and exit. When you boot into Windows, install CPU-Z and check the clock speed of your CPU, if it's not 3.0 GHz, go in the BIOS again and manually change the CPU host frequency to 333 MHz and the multiplier to 9, if the optimized defaults didn't already set the values like that.. If that still doesn't help, try loading a very heavy application and see on CPU-Z if the clocks change while it's running (the Core 2 Duo E8400 of one of my friends automatically boosts its clock to stock speeds when something heavy is running).

Don't worry, when you called an Intel Core 2 Quad an "Intel 2 Core Quad" I'm sure they realised that.

The thing is, if you don't know much about CPUs, I wouldn't recommend trying to overclock one.

OK I worked I bumped the multiplier to 9 and it when to 3.0 ghz

thanks for the help
