Hi all,

I know that this is an overlocking newsgroup, but I was wondering if
you guys could help me..

I have a 2500+ running on an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe Mobo.

It seems that when I go to the Control Panel - System -General, it
shows that I am only getting 1.09Ghz out of it. I think the default
speed is
1.83Ghz.

Can anybody explain why my default speed is so low? I have never
overclocked or changed any BIOS setting (I'm a bit of a gumby with
these things, so have left everything alone!!).

Seems I'm losing around 40% of my minimum potential here...

Any clues would be most appreciated...

Regards,

andym



Actually
1.83 is correct
166 * 11 = 1826


Actually
1.833 is correct
166.666666 x 11 = 1833.33

The bus speed is usually the issue when it comes to cpu speed...happy

Mark,

I just experimented and changed the CPU Ext. Freq to 166Mhz, and it
worked!!! I am now running on 1.83Ghz..

many thanks


andym!!

Mark,

I have the following settings shown on my "Advanced Chipset Features"
area
of the BIOS..

CPU Ext. Freq. = 100Mhz
CPU Freq. Multiple Setting = Auto
System Perfomance = Optimal
FSB Spread spectrum = .50%

Would any of this need to be changed? ... as I said before i just want
the
1.83Mhz .. not interested in overclocking...

Regards,

andym



Have you checked the bus speed in the bio's?

Actually we are both incorrect..
I have serious doubts that a computer will have a regulated freqency THAT
precise ;P ..

Well that is the target! To write the frequency in decmial, we have to
truncate the decimal points somewhere. To be 100% mathematically accurate:
166-and-two-thirds * 11 = 1833-and-one-third MHz 'exactly'.

We just write "166 x 11" or "166.6667 x 11" to make it easier to read!

I believe it is a quartz signal that regulates things? - Anyone confirm
this?
