So I still have this thing and I install coolbook on it to see the cpu clockspeeds. It says 1200MHz even on full cpu load and 800MHz on no load. Then I opened the windows in bootcamp, and guess what task manager and cpu-z along with coretemp also reported it runs at 1200MHz or 1.2GHz on full load!! What's wrong? Help!

Yes, I do know, it's a Core 2 Duo T8300 rated at 2.4GHz. I know some about computers and I know this CPU has Intel SpeedStep but this is just odd! Help!

I tried Prime95 at 100% core load, also tried minecraft as it is pretty cpu intensive. Temps are around the 70s *C
