Processor running at 800mhz instead of 3ghz

I've just recently purchased a new processor and motherboard. The processor is a AMD Phenom II X4 945 Deneb 3.0GHz Everything runs perfectly fine, but for some reason my processor is only running at 800 mhz instead of 3ghz.

Here's the processor: [/url] and here's the motherboard: [url=ASRock]

Anyone know what's wrong? =(

The processor is bad and potentially dangerous - subject to spontaneous combustion*. Carefully remove and package in original box with a $50 disposal fee and mail it to:

Wisecracker's Hazardous Disposal











* Or --- it might be this

Um my computer reads the name correctly, just the 800 mhz that's wrong. The box it came in was correct and all.

I've disabled CoolnQuiet in bios and changed the power settings for high performance, still no go. =/

This is my first day on this website, how is it my fifth thread? I'm just looking for a solution to my problem, sorry to bother..

It stays at 800 mhz. =/ I'm thinking that I need to do somethings with the jumpers, not sure how that works -- perhaps change the multiplier to 15? It's at 4...

Where can I find/do that? :X

Please help =(

I am running the P1.40 Bios. It detects my card but for some odd reason at 800 mhz and not 3 ghz. I've tried changing the multiplier in bios from 200 x 4 to 200 x 15 to get the 3ghz, but my pc doesn't load up if I do. I was reading something about jumpers to change the multiplier? Anyone know? :X

What does that do? It's a brand new motherboard and processor :X and if it does do something, how do you do it?

Help?

Hmmm, how much does the geek squad usually charge?

If that's the case then my wouldn't work at all or no?

Its locked like a Q6600. Locked to the lowest and highest multiplier it can hit. I can lower my Q6600 to 6x full time but only max it at 9x full time.

So he should be able to go into the BIOS and set it to 15x full time.

Here is the answer: From talking with Asrock

Yes, this board supports 125 watt processors, so a 945 and 955 should work. (It supports the AM2 125 watt processors)

In the event that it doesn't automatically scale up out of 800Mhz, you should try to set it manually.

In the event that this does not work, then there is some incompatibility between the CPU and the board, and you should RMA.

Asrock engineering will correct this problem in the next BIOS release.
