Wrong multiplier?

[pctweaks]

Hello, i just installed CPU-Z on my PC and it states this:


-core speed: 803.9 MHz
-Multiplier: x4.0
-Bus speed: 200.9 MHz
-HT Link: 2009.0 MHz



phenom II x4 965 BE
Asus M4a88t-M/USB3
Corsair XMS3 4 gigs of ram.
CM hyper TX3

and a few more things, but wich are irrelevant to the clock speed.


So this thing says my CPU is downclocking heavily, COre temp says the same, temps are between 28C and 35C, ambient temps 20-22. No, i did not install Cool 'N Quiet, unless it was pre-installated with the MOBO or something, so anyone why this could be, and if i could clock it to normal hieghts without danger?


ps. The rig is just 1.5 day old.

Cool and Quiet is not a software program, but a hardware feature that is enabled in the BIOS.

Power management doing its job,,,, run WinRar benchmark and look at CPUz again.

You will find that the OS power manegment is not the best tuned for AMD, The throttle up and down should be set a little lower (in my opinion of course)

Yeah you were right, didn't know about that.
