I7-2617M Windows 8 show 0.51GHz only.

[sergeikaspd]

I'm install windows 8.1 today on SSD. All driver's too. But windows show only 0.51ghz-0.66 ghz max at all=( What i should do to get full power of i7? In BIOS "turbo" is on. In windows: power plan is perfomance.

unable to play games, and other stuff working slow.

Sorry for my english

[sergeikaspd]

Also i clean cpu fan. no change, all work's pretty slow =((

Have you ran a cpu info app to check you Intel cpu? HWiNFO and Throttle Stop are recommended. The windows info about cpu speed isn't always accurate, plus there needs to be a decent cpu load to get to turbo speeds.

Above is a link to Unclewebb's own post showing how to set Throttle Stop and the latest download link. Please let us know how it goes and what you see.

In power plan advanced you can check cpu min and max percent while plugged in for performance should be 100% for both values and cooling should be set to Active. Passive makes the cpu throttle to cool it versus Active which actively cools it as it sounds by using available fan profiles to combat high temps.

Yes, I did make all of this things. Throttlestop does nothing to change. Show

Intel Core i7-2617M 8x99.68Mhz=797.4Mhz

and 797 does not change at all. HWINFO show the same thing. Testing on WathDogs (By the way, sound's freezing sometimes, and in WatchDogs sound go apart from video and...just stucking)

Maybe, my A04 bios is the fault... But I can't update BIOS to a05-unlocked while I have no battery..T_T

Did it ever reached its rated speed with the current or with another os? Sounds like it doesnt have microcodes for the cpu thus booting with the lowest multiplier of the cpu.Dont know how it could happen w/ a m11 but something similar happens to a portege m100 after a bios update or sometimes service work would run at only 600mhz regardless of processor soldered to the board and will not budge w/ any software until you booted a service tool that will configure the pc to run at the right speed

Yes, on HDD I remember, that system show to me dynamic speed 0.5-1.5Ghz ... but I'm not shure

service tool that will configure the pc to run at the right speed

What is the Service tool?

HWiNFO

Clock Ratio Bus VID

CPU Status - - 99.7 MHz 0.83(~4)06 v

CPU Stepping: J1

CPU Power Limits (Max): Power = Unlimited, Time = Unlimited

CPU Power Limit 1 (Long Duration): Power = 17.00 W, Time = 28.00 sec [Locked]

CPU LFM (Minimum): 800.0 MHz = 8 x 100.0 MHz

CPU HFM (Maximum): 1500.0 MHz = 15 x 100.0 MHz

CPU Turbo: 2600.0 MHz = 26 x 100.0 MHz [Locked]

CPU Current: 797.3 MHz = 8 x 99.7 MHz @ 0.8306 V

I boot up from my liveDVD Linux, and run cpuburn.

htop says, that CPU% is 100 to all cores

i7z(ino-utility for i3-7 processors) show

Cpu speed from cpuinfo 1495.00Mhz

cpuinfo might be wrong if cpufreq is enabled. To guess correctly try estimating

Linux's inbuilt cpu_khz code emulated now

True Frequency (without accounting Turbo) 1495 MHz

CPU Multiplier 15x || Bus clock frequency (BCLK) 99.67 MHz

Socket [0] - [physical cores=2, logical cores=4, max online cores ever=2]

TURBO ENABLED on 2 Cores, Hyper Threading ON

Max Frequency without considering Turbo 1594.67 MHz (99.67 x [16])

Max TURBO Multiplier (if Enabled) with 1/2/3/4 Cores is 26x/23x/23x/23x

Real Current Frequency 797.30 MHz [99.67 x 8.00] (Max of below)

Core [core-id] :Actual Freq (Mult.) C0% Halt(C1)% C3 % C6 %

Core 1 [0]: 797.30 (8.00x) 65.8 64.9 0 0

Core 2 [2]: 797.24 (8.00x) 65.9 64.9 0 0

C0 = Processor running without halting

C1 = Processor running with halts (States >C0 are power saver)

C3 = Cores running with PLL turned off and core cache turned off

C6 = Everything in C3 + core state saved to last level cache

Above values in table are in percentage over the last 1 sec

[core-id] refers to core-id number in /proc/cpuinfo

As you can see, on another OS same ....khm..

I drop BIOS settings to "optimal defaults" - nothin changed.

Maybe 60W AC is weak point?

[sergeikaspd]

Carrrramba!!

I'm realy need battery! Or 90W AC! Dumb "Power technologies".....

[sergeikaspd]

Today I bought a pa-3e dell 90w slim adapter - nothing chached. At startup BIOS says

The AC power adapter wattage and type cannot be determined.

The battery may not charge.

The system will adjust the performance to match the power available.

Please connect a Dell 90W AC adapter or greater for best system performance

..wtf?

CPU still 797...

[mw86]

Yes an underpowered power adapter can cause Turbo to not work and also if EIST is not enabled in the bios Turbo I believe doesn't work on Intel Core series.

[emike09]

I recently had a similar issue with my i5 variant that caused the CPU to never go above 1.4GHz (Stock). No turbo frequencies at all (Even in CPU-Z). I resolved the issue by resetting the BIOS to an older A04 BIOS. I'm not sure why the A05 BIOS has throttling issues with my system. It seems to work now.

[cruelb]

I Have m11x R3 with i7 2617m worked like charm.. try update your bios to a05
