When you install a new processor does your motherboard bus speed have to match your new processors bus speed??
Bus Speed
- Thread starter Blazing_Javelin
- Start date
On the newer boards the process of rasing the fsb is automatic over the old fuss about seeing the memory clock adjusted according the cpu and memory that was installed. These two things determine the speed the board will run at.
With a new build here using performance memory the one thing needed to be done to see the memory nothing to do with the cpu already seen as the 3ghz AMD model was to manually set the dram timings in the bios so that the board would see the DDR2 800 as 800 not 667mhz memory. This was due to the faster timings over using value memory there.

Can you actually check what speed your computer is running at? Even though you know your desired speed.

Download CPU-Z from here: http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php
It will tell you anything you would like to know about your processor.
You can also try the System Info for Windows(SIW) tool found at http://www.gtopala.com/siw_on_pc_world.html This one not only provides specifics for all hardwares as well as the cpu, board, and memory but also shows all programs installed and read temps off of the board sensors.
