666 mhz?

OK is this weird or what that it is six six six but that is the speed of my processor and it should be at 1.33 Ghz what could be causing this problem?

the devil posessed your motherboard buwahahahahahahahahah

Quick! You need an exorcist!

Chances are your FSB isn't set to where it should be in the BIOS

yeah, some motherboards set the fsb low for some reason

 

[GrimReaper23]

alright cool I'll check that out in a second.

still seems kinda odd that it just happened to be at that particular number lol

 

[GrimReaper23]

yea dude just can't wait till I change my PC now

 

[waynejkruse10]

most processors are 1/3 rds. Early pentiums are 133, 166, 200 (actually 199) etc. That still applies to todays processors. A 3ghz processor is actually 2999.99999999999999 (repeater), a 1.8ghz processor is 1799.999999999999999 (repeater). Well thats what the chip was designed for. Some mobos actually round it up or down 1 mhz or overclockers might change it.

well it is supposed to be a 1.33 Ghz but it screwed up and in bios it says it is 1333 mhz but in windows it runs at 666
