when i go to control panel

view system information..

cpu should be 2.41 ghz... as it is now...

before i restarted my pc however, the speed was 2.84ghz.... in the same window


wtf????

things i have done since i got my new pc that might be related to this

I installed cool n quiet driver, then at some point uninstalled it in windows

never did i go into bios and change this setting like apprently you might have to...

after i uninstalled this driver btw, soon after, my mobo made a sound like a fireengine, nee naah continuously...so i turned my pc off quick

that was ages ago, hasn't done it since

When i was on css before, my fps was 20, then 30 seconds later returned to 100fps...then was fine..

however my cpu speed certainly shouldnt be doing this right?

whats going on

btw is the value under core speed supposed to change?, noticed then it twitched by .1 mhz

cpu always changes very slightly

go into your bois and turn off "cool 'n quiet". That should stop it.

I was SOO SURE i had it disabled in bios, turns out it was on AUTO instead of disabled after double checking

so i just saved it again to cmos

so strange


i will monitor what happens anyway just to make sure it stops doing this


it could possibly improve my system stability...with it being less stress on psu etc ... we'll see
