amd athlon 3000+ 994mhz?

[hdfk]

hi my amd athlon 64bit 3000+ is saying 994MHZ on my computer propties and my friends hu has amd 2000+ runs at 1.6GHZ can anyone tell me whats going on

 

[Matt555]

try CPU-Z and see what that says

am i ment to be looking at the core speed?
thats 1004.7 i aint sure what im ment to be looking at on that? ever used it b4

 

[Matt555]

Yeah, what does your core speed, multiplier and FSB say?

 

[Matt555]

also what does it say under specification?

 

[hdfk]

Yeah, what does your core speed, multiplier and FSB say?

Core speed: 1004.67
Multiplier: x 0.5
no FSB but HTT? thats 200.9MHZ is all that ok?

 

[Matt555]

thats really odd, i'm not sure about amd cpu's but a 0.5x multiplier? that cant be right, maybe a more experienced member can shed some light on this.

also what does it say under specification?

amd athlon(tm) 3000+ 64 processar is it ok?

woops sorry hang on

 

[Matt555]

save it as a .jpeg as well a .bmp means a larger file size.

[Matt555]

thats odd, you've got a low voltage being supplied to the CPU as well (or is that normal for AMD's?)

 

[hdfk]

ok well can someone PLEASE give me there advice....its running fine but im worreid out of my tree cos of wat matt said (no offence) please can someone help im beggin you please

 

[Matt555]

dont be too worried at the minute, i have no idea about AMD CPU's, it just seemed a little low thats all, maybe its meant to be like that, but it could be the cause to your slow speed, maybe it needs more voltage to be able to run a faster FSB...(someone else give your advice on this, i'm not completely sure) so hdfk dont worry about what i've said so far, wait for an experience amd user to answer,

 

[pelvis_3]

Assuming the CPU is a venice core the Multiplier should be @ 9 (9x200Mhz=1.8Ghz) and the voltage should be @ 1.35/1.4v!
Try changing these settings in BIOS!

Beat me to it, but yes, that's correct. It'll work for a Winchester 3000+ too.
