Hi good folks,
I recently upgrade the BIOS on my mobo to F13, the latest stable release (I believe). Previously I was running for a couple years on F9. My processor is a Bloomfield i7 920, 2.66GHz. I never overclocked it or touched the processor or memory settings, just always went with the default.
Now, during post the CPU speed is reported as 2.00GHz, when before it always reported correctly as 2.66GHz.
When I go into Windows 7 (Ultimate) and look at the Device manager, it shows the correct frequency, 2.66. I also looked in Speccy and it reports 2.66 as well.
Is my processor running at the proper frequency? Is this just a 'bug' in the BIOS reporting? Or perhaps I've missed a BIOS setting after flashing the BIOS and something needs to change. I believe I left the Multiple at 15, which was where it was put when I did a "load optimized defaults", as recommended by the manual upon flashing the bios.
Any ideas? Thanks
