Looking at my GPU tester, I'm reading 2.2 ghz. When I bought the CPU it said it was 3.4 GHz.
Is this a problem?

AMD Cool 'N Quiet automatically lowers voltage and frequency for power savings while you idle or do easy tasks. This is why cpu-z shows 2.2 GHz or lower with just your web browser open.
When your cpu usage is high it will scale back up to the rated 3.4GHz. It's similar to Intel Turbo Boost; performance when you need it, power savings when you don't. |
