    Hi, I went to went into the sytem settings (F12) and noticed that my cpu speed was 1.30 ghz but when I went to go enable overclocking, it says that it's already enabled.

    Is it like that for everybody or is something wrong with my comp?

    Download CPU-Z and see what it says, it's probably just displaying the official part description or whatever.

    you should check your cpu speed with an third-party tool like CPU-Z by CPUID
