Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
So.. Yeah. I had this little software that controls the computer performance (it came with the pc), and I had it in "entertainment" mode. This actually was keeping my CPU at lower levels. Now I just choose "Performance" and it goes up to 3.5, and varies. So to people who have it "stuck" like I...
I won't mess around much, I've already talked to my pc manufacturer and I'll see that the problem is fixed next monday (I hope...).
My computer is "custom made", and I asked for thermal optimization, that's the the core temperatures are so low :)
Anyway, thanks a lot unclewebb, you've...
Bingo. You got the Cores completely right! So this problem can only be solved by my who wrote my BIOS?
Here's the Cstate window, I'll post the tests later today.
Thanks again unclewebb for putting so much time in this!
Yeah I know... I'll post the pics when I get home.
I just put it like this because when I first used my TS i put it like you said, and when i turned it off the CPU speed stayed at contant 3.5 Ghz .. So I turned TS back on and put the multiplier at 25, setting the CPU speed to 2.5Ghz. When I turn...
Thank you unclewebb! :)
I've been in the BIOS, EIST is enabled.
I'll post the screen shot when I can, probably today.
Here's the image from during the test
And after the test
(I don't understand a lot of this, and I definitely can't read that data LOL)
I think I should say that I used TS...
Throttlestop works as a temporary fix, thank you.. I've noticed a lot of people have this problem, I wonder how this is solved.
It's definetly a multiplier problem, after using TS, happens the same thing, but this time with 3.4Ghz (I guess that's good?).
I've updated all my drivers. My BIOS is American Megatrends Inc. 4.6.5, UEFI.
My laptop is a "white brand" laptop, a P170SM-A.
Here is the full spec:

Edit: I got your question now... Yes I've updated...
So, I bought a new laptop and recently I've started to notice that my CPU speed doesn't change at all, it keeps on 1.45 Ghz all the time, even when I'm running something heavy (in my case, Watch_Dogs on Ultra settings).
I've already tried to fix it myself, but I'm not really good with hardware...
