Clock Speed?

this is a n00blet question........on every bench is shows my clock speed of my CPU at 1.2 gig

SHOULD i disable the AMD Quiet and Cool feature in my bios???
you know that stuff that lowers my CPU speed when the power is not needed........i think

thanks

 

No reason to really, but you can...

 

roger that........but still why the 1.2 showing up in all benches??

thank though

 

Try loading the processor, like prime 95 torture test, then check. I think cpu-z updates in real-time. Even with cool & quiet on, should go back up to full speed as soon as you do something. I think both of those are in the downloads section...

 

thanks.....i'll try that !

just wanted the peace of mind knowing that i am gettin all my juice :O

 

When i enable cool and quiet it lowers ALL my benchmarks. Apparently it adjusts your clockspeed so quickly you wont suffer any performance loss,but i do.

Just something to think about.

 

Definately turn cool n quiet off if you wanna oc. Cool and quiet just lowers the clock speed when its not in use, however, it shouldnt effect benches because it should kick up to the correct speed when required.

I personally would disable it anyway.

 

That's because you're an oc-er And you probably don't care about noise

 

ok i disabled ut and my 3Dmark05 jumped 800 points!

which is worth it for me

and i have noticed no increase in noise either

 

that's good for you man! glad it worked out
