I downloaded CPU-Z for my new computer. So I opened it up. Then I saw that my Core Speed is only 803 MHz! 😱

My Processor is an AMD Phenom II x6 1055t. And as far as i know, the default clock of 1055t's is 2800 MHz.

My system is running smooth though but I just want to know what's wrong. And if it's a problem at all

Sorry, I wasn't able to highlight the core speed :ange:

Other Specs:

GPU: HIS Radeon 5670
Motherboard: Asus M4A88TD-M Evo
RAM: Kingston 4GB 1333MHz

Thanks in advance :)
 
If you have Cool and quiet enabled in BIOS then the CPU will down clock when not under load. That might be what we are seeing here.
