So... you want to see your CPU speed under a load?
There are many programs out there to stress test your CPU, all familiar to overclockers... one of them that I use is OCCT.
Others in my OC toolkit include Prime95 and SiSoft Sandra, but I like OCCT... its easy to use even for a novice!
Any of these will show you your CPU speed under a load and you wont see the CPU throttled down in energy saving mode!
Happy Halloween!
