I am not as keen about benchmarking programs as some of you are so I am looking for a few answers. I see that my Processor (AMD-FX-55) is overclocked from 2.6 to 2.96. When I run a 3dmark Bench it shows the following.
Manufacturer AMD
Family AMD Athlon(tm) 64 FX-55 Processor
Architecture 64-bit
Internal Clock 1.2 GHz
nternal Clock Maximum 2.9 GHz
External Clock 204.0 MHz
Socket Designation Socket 939
Type Central
HyperThreadingTechnology
Capabilities MMX, CMov, RDTSC, 3DNow!, Extended 3DNow!, SSE, SSE2, PAE, NX
Version AMD Athlon(tm) 64 FX-55 Processor
Caches
Level 1 128 KB
Level 2 1 MB

When I run a bench it shows my processor clock as the lower 1.2 ghz. Is this normal? and if not how do I fix it?

Hey Ruxor, the FX-55 has hypertransport which means it throttles itself up and down depending on what's needed. Check out this post....

no no, its the cool & quiet feature, go into the bios and turn it off. It throttles your cpu down when youre not using it to keep temps down..AH.
