I can't get Vista to recognize my 3400+ to have a frequency of 2200 Mhz or at
least to run it at 2200 Mhz.
I tried everything around those energy plans, no change! PLS someone help me!

I have a Vista System in a different language, so please post every answer
step by step or I might not be able to follow!
 
ZebraB:
1.- How do you know that your 3400+ is running at 800 Mhz?
2.- What does your BIOS say upon boot? It might not be Vista the one to look
but your BIOS settings might be wrong.
3.- Download and install CPU-Z (http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php) and check the
info it provides about your processor.

Don't AMD processors automatically throttle down when they are not being fully used?

Using a Sidebar gadget, when the system was idle, it did not report the full frequency of my AMD processor.
 
Cal:
I think the throttle thing has to be enabled in BIOS, or have to have
installed an AMD utility (CPU cool?) in order to allow the lowering of the
frequency.
Otherwise it is not enabled by default.
Carlos
 
Hmmmm,
I do not have a BIOS setting, and I do not have Cool'nQuiet software,
but, the Sidebar gadget does go up to the full speed when I use processor
intensive applications.
 
Cal:
Mi BIOS (ASUS A8N-SLI) has "AMD K8 Cool 'N Quiet control" option.
Just looked the mobo manual.
Carlos
 
I wonder if the FSB frequency and clock multiplier is set correctly in the
BIOS?

Steve
 
NO -- there is NO Cool'nQuiet control option in my BIOS
I do not have the same mb as you
Must be enabled by default
NO FSB frequency or clock multiplier options either
NO problems however, Vista flying along
 
Cal:
I think it is high time for the OP to read our posts and come back to us
with additonal data/answers.
Carlos
 
Well, since your post was addressed to me (Cal:) and suggested
that I "just looked the mobo manual" (nice English?), I responded.

If you don't have anything useful to say why waste time by a silly,
pretentious and useless post?
 
Cal:
I do apologize for the confusion that my unfortunate quoted comment arose.
English is not my native language (it is Spanish) and after re-reading my
post I notice that it might have been misinterpreted by its improper writing.
"just looked the mobo manual" was by no means a suggestion for you.
It meant "I have just read the motherboard manual".
I was trying to point out that in my case, which is not yours, there are
specific settings in BIOS regarding the subject in question.
Sorry again for the misunderstanding.

Carlos
 
Great!

From reading your other posts, you seemed like a very nice and helpful
person, and was very surprised that, what to me, seemed like a derogatory
snipe.

Sorry for my mistake.

But you realize, of course, everyone's primary purpose in these newsgroups
is not to be helpful, but to prove our boundless infallible knowledge, and
above all to protect our egos.
