    Q9550 being reported as 2.5 GHZ..
    « on: February 04, 2010, 08:26:33 PM »
    I just built my new computer that Ive been dreaming of for the last year. I noticed that my intel q9550 is being reported by windows as running at 2.5 ghz, as opposed to the 2.83 stock/factory standard its SUPPOSED to be running at!

    I loaded default BIOS settings, but the problem remained. Can anyone please explain to me why my processor has decided to spontaneously UNDERclock itself?

    Sorry, Im freaking out right now.

    Thanks for any help,
