Solved intel i7 4930k at 1.2ghz?

[cesar3594]

Okay so i got a new cpu, which is the intel i7 4930k, and it is at 1.2ghz only, i went into the bios and it showed that it wasn't on energy saving mode or anything, it was on normal. I have an alienware case and i can't access the command center to see if it's on power saving because of the new motherboard.. anyone help?

Okay guys i ran a rating test on window home premium and it was horrible, i got a 3.6 rating on my intel i7 4930k, when i go to the task manager cpu usage is inconsistant, it goes for 9% to 40% in a blink of an eye, my ram is only clocked at 1066mhz when it's suppose to be at 2133mhz, what is going on? anyone has any idea?

P.S CPU-Z said my processor only has 1 core, WTF is going on

If anyone is wondering I recently changed my mobo to P9x79 WS, and install window 7 home premium recently, I was testing everything and I realized that my pc was running abnormally slow.. can anyone help me?

Updated my bios, CPU-Z recognizes 6 cores, but still clocked at 1.2ghz still seeking help..

Some cpu's will lower the core speed if the computer is sitting idle, start up a game and monitor the speeds.

Yeah u were right, i play Assasins creed, and it went up to 3.5-3.6ghz, why does it stay at 1.2 when i'm browsing and is there a way to disable this?

because it doesnt need to run at 3.5 ghz to run the browser, it only uses what it needs to use.

It is normally called Speedstep (EIST) in the bios. It is a power saving option which is useful as you don't really need to be running your CPU at full speed 100% of the time. However 1.2GHz sounds a bit low, from past experience it has always been 1.6GHz as the lowest speed.

No worries

My i7 3930K (one generation out) goes down to 1.2GHz as well. Perfectly normal. Best to keep Speedstep on.
