I think there is something wrong with my AMD athlon x2 5600+ look at this from cpu-z the speed is off by a gigahertz, and the other thing is that the CPU is idle at 50! the bios is set to auto detect, i would set it manually, but i dont know what the defaults for this cpu are Processors Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Processor 1 (ID = 0) Number of cores 2 Number of threads 2 (max 2) Name AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ Codename Windsor Specification AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ Package Socket AM2 (940) CPUID F.3.3 Extended CPUID F.43 Brand ID 4 Core Stepping JH-F3 Technology 90 nm Core Speed 1808.2 MHz (9.0 x 200.9 MHz) HT Link speed 1004.6 MHz Stock frequency 2800 MHz Instructions sets MMX (+), 3DNow!

their is nothing wrong, its because ur not doing anything, if u play a game or something that needs the speed it will go up.

That's cool and quiet, CPU speed throttles down to save power when you're not doing much. 50 Celsius at idle sounds a bit hot, what cooler do you use?
this http://canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=013469&cid=FN.349 the problem is that the fan blows air to the top of the case, not the back like it was ment to (i cant change this) also the bottom was loaded with preapplyed thermal paste, and I was to lazy to srap it off before i put it on. I got it down to 35 by taking the side pannel off (keep in mind i have 2 80mm back fans, a 120mm PSU fan (sucking air out) and one 80mm fan in the front pulling air in. my big problem is that the computer is in a metal case, then a wodden case, so there is very little cool air comming in. I plan on pulling the cpu cooler off and putting some artic silver 5 on it.
I think he means a wooden cabinet. You shouldn't even keep an office PC in one of those, let alone a high power CPU like a 5600+. it's testament to the power of the Freezer64 that it doesn't shut down in there.
Thanks Sam, but it was a semi-rhetorical question, as is the one I just asked about getting hot in Summer.
Yes, but i have a shelf down in the corner of mydesk with one closed side and not much room at the back. I drop a good 7-8C in PC temps with it sitting on my desk in stead.
