Inspiron 1420

My inspiron comes with a C2D 2.0ghz
but it down clock to 1.2Ghz

i know its something for the power saving thing.
anyways to disable it?

it down clocks eventhou im using it.

 

Why do want to do? It makes no sense. Let the people who are smarter than you and me do what they want to do. There are programs that might work. I use NHC but I am AMD. I can override what you are talking about.

 

huh?
i've tired NHC.
but i seem theres some errors.
does the software support vista?
cant disable this thru bios?

and theres this computrace.
i accidentally activate it.
i google few info on it.
it seem tat i have check the processes that are running.
the proccess that suppose to run when this computrace is active is not running.
does this means the computrace is not working?
does whatever we do got send to the server?

hope understnad what im trying to say here.

thx.

 

You can set the processor to always run at full speed, with cpu rightmark.
Just go into the tabs and find the one labled profiles. Set the profile to Maximum PerformanceCheck The "Use P-State Transistors" box, and then select the highest multiplier. Then hit apply okay and such and the processor will run at full clock speed. Oh yeah, one other step, go back to profiles, and then in the "Profile Selection" section, use the pull down tabs to set the profile to use the maximum performance profile.

Setting the clock speed to full speed will not make your system run any faster. The processor throttles down because the programs you are using does not need the full speed of your processor. If you select to run in maximum performance mode, you will have much less battery life, and your system will run much hotter.
I am just warning you now, so dont get mad at me if your system gets hotter.

so it can be consider normal if it clock down?
cause the multiplier keep on changing?
will it effect the processor life?

 

It is completely normal for a processor to downclock to a lower speed.
This is called Speed step. Intel developed speed step and has integrated this technology into every pentium/core based processor since the Pentium 4m age.
Note, Celeron processors do not have speed step enabled.
Speed step, is basically a dynamically switching valve. Basically if your running word, you do not need 100% clock speed, so the system lowers its clock speed one multiplier. If the system sees that it is running fine, than it drops another multiplier and so forth.

The multiplier will keep changing, and this is fine. Fluctuations between the multipliers cannot hurt your processor in any way, it is actually quite beneficial.
Having a lower multiplier, means that the processor can be run at a fraction of its speed, and still have plenty of power left over for other things.
Having a processor at a lower multiplier, usually means a lower voltage, so it will run cooler and give you better for battery life.
If you want more battery life, you should take a look into undervolting, as you can really cut temperatures and add 20 or minutes of battery life to your system.
