i bought samsung 300e5v-s02in which has processer intel i3 3120m recently and to my surprise the windows experience index rating for processor is just 4.9 to which i was expecting 6.9 as per many reviews. also the Geekbench 2.4 score was just 2700 as opposed to the scores of over 5500 for the same processer users. then i noticed that the clockspeed of the laptop never goes beyond 1200mhz(specification says 2.5ghz). i'm worried what's the cause of it. i doubt whether samsung did something from the BIOS side. they did the same for my friend laptop with a8 processor by disabling overclocking. i even have my doubts on my chipset which is intel hm75. please help me out


P.S-the reported benchmarks are done in high performance mode and i also disabled power saving mode in BIOS
