5150 System bus 1022MHz ???

Hi 5150 Users,

Have you checked your cpu with Intel Processor Frequency ID Utility?

http://support.intel.com/support/processors/tools/frequencyid/sb/CS-007623.htm

 

When the machine is on the battery with the power scheme as "maximum battery",

the system bus is shown as 1022 MHz, saying the following message 'The tested system bus appears to be operating above its frequency specification, a condition commonly known as "overclocked". Please press the advisory button for further information.'.

This is not the case when the power scheme is always on.

Is this normal or indicative of defective cpu?

I would greatly appreciate any helping message on this.

Thanks a lot.

L.

    I have a 5150 with a 3.06GHz P4 w/ HT. When I ran that utility on mine, the system bus stayed at 533 MHz. I ran new tests every time I changed the power scheme. No idea what the problem with yours is. Sorry I can't be of more help. What is wrong with having an overclocked CPU, though, unless is causes it to heat way up.

    Hi Neptunium,

    Have you run the program on the battery, not with the AC power?

    1022MHz appears when being tested on the battery on my machine.

    Thank you for your reply.

    Now that I ran it on the battery and not AC power, I did get the 1022MHz Reported Frequency. This is strange, for I know that I have never overclocked my system, and I didn't order it that way. I will contact technical support and get back to you when I get an answer.
