I've just noticed that although Piriform Speccy reports the overall clock speed of c 1700, the individual core reports swing between 800 and 2900 ish. Has someone set this to exceed normal limits? I note the literature says it can be turboed up to such speeds, but I never need that and still can find nothing to get into the deeper workings of the machine. Is there ever a secondary set of BIOS settings? There is a menu setting in there which implies more control, but it just does nothing when enabled.
While on that subject, again while in BIOS, the fan ran faster and oddly, the output was hotter. (This happened before I cleaned the heat exchanger.)
Does the computer run flat out during BIOS setting procedures?
