Hello-
recently i tried to overclock my PC- it's a 2.7 GHz AMD athlon BE (7750 (Kuma))- and my MOBO is a Gigabyte
GA-m61pme-s2 (Not all that great).
Many people recommended the software CPU-Z so i downloaded it. i overclocked my Cpu to 2.9GHz (201 FSB, 14.5x multiplayer) everything was fine and dandy- went onto CPU-Z (First time i used the program) and i checked the core speed- it equalled 2.9Ghz... everything was fine- for about 30 seconds... when the core speed dropped to 1421.6 MHz (1.4GHz) why? (I thought i pushed it too far and my PC under clocked itself) so i went back into my BIOS and changed the multiplier back to "Automatic"
I Went back into windows- went onto CPU-Z and guess what? same again- the core speed fell to 1421.6 MHz? i don't know why... and when i think about it- my 1.86Ghz Compaq NC4200 laptop transfers files to my flash drive Kickass faster then my computer... is my CPU really running at 1.4 GHz? or is it just an "Energy save" schematic? if so- how would i get the most out of my machine?
