Thread: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 / 2.33 GHz processor

Help determine that the defective: Intel Q8200 processor 2.33 GHz, m.plata GA-EP45-DS3R. The situation is this: in the program CPU-Z (v.1.51), as well as the properties of the current system clock frequency is 1999.9 GHz, with factor x6, but in the BIOS (version F8) the multiplier set to x7! And the setting "CPU Frequency" shows the importance of "2.33 GHz (333 * 7)"! Tried to put the multiplier to x6 in BIOS (I think, may need the opposite ), but changes were not. It seems that in fact the processor runs at 2 GHz!

It was he with you in such a simple multiplier determines a cost to run any application that uses the processor to the full, and then the processor will be released at the working frequency, and done so in order to save energy.

Control Panel-> Power Management-> Maximum performance.
Run CPU-Z - all normal.
Leave it as is or return to the place - on request.

I understand, this should be in the instruction prescribed by the motherboard - I'm in it, of course, looking, but not everything is clear . Thank you for your reply.
