| Motherboard recognizing right processor speed. I have 9CJS ZENITH motherboard with a Intel Pentium 4 3.4GHz / 1MB Cache / 800MHz FSB / Socket 478 / HyperThreading / Processor but my system is saying that the processor is only running at 2.8ghz? Any ideas or fixes? Thanks |

| I think this is a Speedstep issue of the P4 3.4 which clocks down to 14x multiplier 200 at startup and might not get the back to full speed. http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/...atures-p4.html the obvious reason might be overheating, what cooler are you using and how hot is the CPU running? if that's not it, I would recommended contacting Chaintech...

| Its an air cooled system using this particular fan (Aerocool Extreme / Socket 478 / Intel Pentium 4 up to 3.6GHz/AMD Athlon XP up to 3000+ / Sleeve Bearing / Copper COre / CPU Cooling Fan). What would a normal cpu/system temp be for this type of processor? |

| what value do you get in the BIOS health monitor? anything above 70°C is cause for worry the Aerocool Extreme is not a very powerful HSF

| It is hovering right around the low to mid 60's *C. What are some things I could do to lower this? |

| that's not "too hot" for the CPU to clock down to 2800Mhz, problem lies elsewhere
