Or its the power saving kicking in or it has a really dirty heatsink causing throttle down to reduce heat. | My System Specs | | OS Microsoft Windows 8 Professional CPU AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 965 Processor Motherboard ECS A790GXM-AD3 Memory 16.00 GB Graphics Card AMD Radeon HD 7850 2GB Sound Card (1) C-Media PCI Audio Device (2) AMD HD Audio Monitor(s) Displays LG LS192WS Screen Resolution 1440 x 900 @ 32bit color Keyboard Dell SK-8115 Mouse Razer Copperhead PSU Corsair HX620 Case Thermaltake V4 Black Edition Cooling Cooler Master Hyper 212 + Artic Silver 3 on CPU/GPU Hard Drives (1) ST31000524AS SATA Disk Device (2) ST3500413AS SATA Disk Device AHCI mode enabled. |

Note that Desktop Pentium 4 does not have speedstep technology so even if you choose power saver mode, the processor will still run at its normal frequency. I believe that speedstep was only available on Pentium M back then.
There are 2 possibilities that I can think of.
1. Throttling due to overheating (Most Probable cause). Clean the fans, heatsink and repaste CPU. You are probably using the original thermal paste. It might have lost its thermal conductivity a bit leading to throttling.
2. You underclocked/undervolted the CPU (least probable cause) in the BIOS. If #1 didn't work, try to reset the bios to defaults and then update the BIOS. | My System Specs | | Computer type Laptop System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell Optiplex SX270, Lenovo Z470 OS Windows 7 Professional x64 SP1 CPU Intel® Pentium® 4 @ 2.26 GHz, Intel Core i7-2670QM @ 2.20 GH Motherboard Dell, Lenovo Memory 512MB Dual channel DDR SDRAM @ 400MHz 2.5-3-3-7, 8 GB DDR3 Graphics Card Intel 82865G, Nvidia GeForce 520M Graphics Sound Card SoundMax Integrated Audio, Integrated HD Audio Monitor(s) Displays LG W1952 Screen Resolution 1440x900, 1366 x 768 Keyboard Dell SK-8125 USB Keyboard Mouse Dell PS/2 2 button ball mouse with wheel scroll PSU Dell 145 Watt, Lenovo 120 Watt Power Adapter Case Optiplex SX270 Small Form Factor, Laptop Cooling Dell Proprietary Air Cooling, Stock laptop cooling Hard Drives 40 GB 2.5" IDE 4200 RPM HDD, 500 GB 5400 RPM Sata 1.5 + 32 GB SSD Internet Speed 10 Mbit down / 1 kbps up Road Runner Cable Antivirus MSE, Malwarebytes Scanner Browser Internet Explorer 10 Other Info Running Windows Server 2012 Datacenter on a virtural machine to run Metro Apps. |

Your processor is dangerously close to being fried! Critical temperature for most Intel Processors is 100 degrees Celcius. After that CPUs throttle a lot (this is why your scores are much lower than they should) to reduce heat or your computer completely shuts down like you've just pulled the plug. You should update your BIOS since the fan speed is pretty low at 2220 rpm and it's supposed to spin at a much more rpm ~4000rpm or more if your processor is very hot. I am now positive that the CPU's heat spreader is not making good contact with the heatsink. Therefore your thermal paste has failed and is in dire need of replacement. Buy some Arctic silver 5 thermal compund for around $10 online and repaste your CPU. You should notice immediate bump in performance. The optimum temperatures for CPUs is around 30 - 40 oC idle and 50 - 65 oC full load depending on the room temperature. | My System Specs | | Computer type Laptop System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell Optiplex SX270, Lenovo Z470 OS Windows 7 Professional x64 SP1 CPU Intel® Pentium® 4 @ 2.26 GHz, Intel Core i7-2670QM @ 2.20 GH Motherboard Dell, Lenovo Memory 512MB Dual channel DDR SDRAM @ 400MHz 2.5-3-3-7, 8 GB DDR3 Graphics Card Intel 82865G, Nvidia GeForce 520M Graphics Sound Card SoundMax Integrated Audio, Integrated HD Audio Monitor(s) Displays LG W1952 Screen Resolution 1440x900, 1366 x 768 Keyboard Dell SK-8125 USB Keyboard Mouse Dell PS/2 2 button ball mouse with wheel scroll PSU Dell 145 Watt, Lenovo 120 Watt Power Adapter Case Optiplex SX270 Small Form Factor, Laptop Cooling Dell Proprietary Air Cooling, Stock laptop cooling Hard Drives 40 GB 2.5" IDE 4200 RPM HDD, 500 GB 5400 RPM Sata 1.5 + 32 GB SSD Internet Speed 10 Mbit down / 1 kbps up Road Runner Cable Antivirus MSE, Malwarebytes Scanner Browser Internet Explorer 10 Other Info Running Windows Server 2012 Datacenter on a virtural machine to run Metro Apps. |

Worry about updating your bios later. At the present get that computer lack of cooling problem repaired. You could set your bios to default by removing power from the computer. Unplug it from the wall and remove the motherboard battery. Then hold the power button on the computer down for a couple of minutes. Filling in your system specs would help a lot. You might have a toaster all ready with those temps.
1. Repair the over heating problem.
2. Bios set to default

I replace the fan, update bios but nothing improves the temperature, fan speed is same.....
what should i do next? | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Professional X86 Processor speed reduced problems? All times are GMT -5. The time now is 07:21 AM. | |
