Core 2 Duo E6550 on an Asus P5LD2-SE board.... CPU-z displays it's default specs as @2.33GHz, but it never reaches that.
Instead core speed continuously varies in the ~1600-1800 MHz range, multiplier constantly jumps from 6x to 7x and then back down, core voltage is always fluctuating between 1.216 to 1.392 V.... All this on idle.
BUS speed stays at 267.1 MHz, Rated FSB stays at 1068.5 MHz.
Excuse the ignorance, but what is this?
