Back to lesson ONE:
Hello class. Today we will learn about the CPU technologies that Intel has put into their processors. One important technology is the Intel Speedstep Technology. AMD has done the same with the Cool'n'Quiet technology. This reduces the CPU's multiplier when it is idle.
E.g.: C2D E6240
When idle: 6.0x X 266.7MHz = 1600MHz
When in use: 8.0x X 266.7MHz = 2133Mhz
Lesson Over.
The multipliers are usually locked. The Speedstep is also locked to be on.
But don't worry, that is PERFECTLY normal.
That cause the game's idling. Turn on CPU-z and open an startup intensive program like Microsoft Word or Photoshop.
Not running a program, but starting one up and using it. Especially during the startup.
