hi i have a phenom quad core 9500 its a 2.2 ghz
its set to 1.8 ghz

how to i get it to 2.2 where its supposed to be?

oh and my mother boad is a n m3a asus

it may have underclocked its self, try loading defaults in teh bios and if that doesnt work find out the voltage for your processor and the stock multiplier and then set it manually through the bios

[user1987]

so its just the stock multiplier and voltage i have to change ??
where can i find out the info i cant find it in the manual

[Cew27]

i would hunt it down but im macking breakfast downstairs with my laptop, google the name of yor pcocessor and then stock voltage and multiplier

[user1987]

yeh i seen on google like twice now but dosnt make much sense to me
y dont they just make it come up stock ffs
y bullshit around? 2.2 is 2.2 not 1.8

What? Make computers user friendly? You kidding?

Is your BIOS at version 0802?

What they said - also, you may just try bumping that FSB up a little bit to get it to the correct speed.

Depending on your multiplier, and if the Phenom is a 1333FSB processor, it could be that as well. A motherboard with a 1066FSB might set it lower so that you ended up with a lower-clocked processor or something, but that seems unlikely considering the difference in clock speed is only .4GHz.

well i cant touch the multiplier cos its not letting me but i can manually adjust the fsb frequency
is that all thats needed to adjust?

Do you have the latest BIOS? (again)

Yes, what he said: again, you want to check for BIOS updates before messing with clock speeds. My suggestion was meant as "in case that other suggestion doesn't work" :)
