Hi,
I have a peculiar problem in my new machine. The machine specs are:
Asus A8N-E
AMD 64 3000+ (939)
XFX 6800GS
450W PSU
1GB 400Mhz RAM (2 X 512MB)
80GB ATA HDD (Samsung), etc
The drivers are: Forceware v 84.21 and M/B BIOS version 1008.
All was going well from the day I bought this monster until today. Today the machine was a little slow. So I decided to investigate.
The graphics card is clocked at 485/1100.
The CPU was supposed to show 1800Mhz (using CPU-Z and also by right clicking 'My Computer' and selecting properties). But to my surprise I found that it is showing 1050.2Mhz with multiplier X 5.0 and HTT 210Mhz. This is the result I got from CPU-Z. But it is supposed to show 1800Mhz, right?
So I decided to investigate the BIOS to see if the CPU multiplier has been modified. The default setting when I assembled the machine was overclock profile-AI overclock with all other options in 'jumperfree configuration' tab as disabled or auto.
Today I tried to overclock by only selecting 'AI Overclock' and selecting overclock options as '5% overclock' or '10% overclock'. The system was stable, even after playing FEAR for 1hour. But I noticed this problem only after I restarted the machine. Still then I could play FEAR without any problems but the CPU speed was showing as above (1050Mhz).
I have heard that the system dynamically increases the speed of the CPU when you select AI Overclock and then start any demanding application (in my case, playing FEAR). I have tried to see the CPU speed by pressing ALT-TAB while playing but still it is showing 1050Mhz.
I know I have voided the warranty by trying to overclock. But can you geeks please help to restore my CPU speed back to 1800Mhz?
Waiting for your comments...and urgently...
