SpeedStep / CPU issue, please halp!
Having an issue with what I suspect is SpeedStep screwing up my FPS in World of Warcraft.
At random occasions my CPU multiplier will drop down to x6 or x5.5 instead of it's usual x12.5, extremely frustrating me as it completly destroys my game and makes it unbearable for a while before the multiplier goes up again.
What I was wondering is if there's any way to turn this off or if it's some other problem you guys might know of.
I'm using a laptop Acer Aspire 8920G
Intel Core 2 Due processor T9300 (2.5GHz, 800MHz, 6MB L2 cache
4GB DDR2
1791MB NVidia GeForce 9650M GS TurboCache
Been looking all over for a fix of some sort, and the most likely problem seems to be SpeedStep.
I'm using Windows 7 and have set the Batery settings to Highest Performance yet it's still happening. I've checked BIOS but couldn't even find a SpeedStep setting. (Might have been in a wrong thing, but it was the frame that pops when you press Del on startup screen, which I thought was the BIOS)
