Cpuz shows core is slower then it should be.

I was just seeing what CPUz does while i wait for my new pc to come in and it says my core speed on my old pc here is 1595.1ghz when this pc is a duo core 2.66ghz wth? It's also showing a diffrent multiplier then Performance test 7.0 shows.

that would be the cpu throttling. have cpu-z open when you launch an intensive program or a game and watch the frequency go back up to 2.66ghz. you can disable the throttling in your BIOS if you want to, but generally it saves energy and prdouces less heat.

Ah ic, i jsut downloaded a program called CPU speed professional and it put the cpu usage to 100% and the speed showed over 2.7ghz, now I'm happy. As always thanks for the help
