1400 Athlon only running at 1050mhz

[Anonymous]

Hi

Can someone tell me why my Athlon 1400 mhz is now only running at 1050 mhz ????

is there a setting somewhere in XP that has knocked the processor speed down ???

Thanks

XP won't change your processor speed. It would have to be in the jumper settings for the multiplier on your mother board.

I think you are reading 1400 as a MHz speed. Unfortunatly it's just a model number and not the speed of the chip. I think 1050Mhz is about on par for a AMD XP 1400 chip. So your getting what you payed for un-over-clocked.

AMD Athlon. From what I heard or know or whatever is that they have been labeling there CPU's with a number like that to show how the chip behaves like. Ok, I'll try again. An AMD Athlon 2000 will behave just like a Intel Pentium 4 at 2.0GHZ, but in reality and Athlon 2000 is a bit slower in the measured speed. Something like that. From what I heard, AMD chips run better than Intel's chips that measure the same MHZ speed.

Sorry to bring this topic back up, but I have the exact same problem :(



1400 Athlon Thunderbird,

Asus A7Pro (latest BIOS 1011)

and it only sits at 1050MHz



I have tried using the jumpers (I read that setting the multiplier to 5 was the same as 14)rather than JumperFree mode but it refuses to boot up :shock:

I've tried disabling the JumperFree feature - but then the pc wont boot up (even with all the jumpers on 'default' settings) the best I can do is increase the fsb to 105 which gives me a 1.1GHz but I know that's the wrong way of doing this...:(

Exactly the same problem. I Suppose it's a question of multiplier...

its totally normal geed was right AMD 1400 doesnt mean 1400 mhz its a name in comparaison with p4 and also trick of marketing ;)
