I've got my new computer together, and everything seems to be working well, so far.
One thing I've noticed, however, is that my motherboard lists my CPU, an Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4 GHz (Q6600), as running at 1.86 GHz. It does seem to recognize the CPU itself properly, stating that it is a 2.4 GHz CPU.
I'm guessing, at this point, that the motherboard is intentionally underclocking, by default, but I have no idea what settings I'd need to change! It's an Asus Striker Extreme motherboard.
FYI, I'm not looking to overclock; I just want the speed that I paid for. Can anyone help here?
Thanks in advance...
Also, I should point out that Vista states that it is a 2.4 GHz CPU when I look at the CPU properties. Is there a reason why the BIOS and Vista are saying two different things? And which one should I trust?
