My System Specs

Default Asus AI and CPUID
Just assembled my new SB tower including and Asus P8P67 Deluxe and 2500K. Thought I'd try my hand at using the AI software. I fired it up and it gave me a 31% overclock to roughly 4.5 GHZ...I thought, "great"...that was easy.

SOOOO....I download the latest CPUID to check things out and this is what I get when I run it...

I don't understand why the CPU frequency reads so low along with the multiplier being only 16. Name: CPUID capture.PNG Views: 319 Size: 96.1 KB

Power saving thingie? Ok, so how do I calculate my actual clock speed? Sorry for the dumb question, but I don't understand why it's reading so low.

Newer processors will choke back the speed and multiplier in order to save energy while it is sitting idle. They are Al Gore approved. Run something that requires the computer to work while leaving CPUID open and it should jump right back up to your actual frequency and multiplier.
