I've been getting strange clock speed readings from our P4 processor. Right-clicking on my computer has shown readings far above what they should be. I'm 100% certain that it used to give a correct reading of 2.99 ghz, as far as I know, this has only started a few days ago.
Our PC hasn't been overclocked and everything is running as it should. I'm only signalling this because I was told that 4.4 ghz is dangerously fast without any extra cooling and such.
This is what I first saw.
This is after a reboot, a little faster this time.
Yet again it shows a different speed, this is the fastest that I've seen it at.
Next I downloaded "WCPUID" to check up on the speeds.
First reading with WCPUID, exactly what it should be.
A few hours later, after a bit of gaming, this straaaaange result.
And this is what it shows right now, way too fast.
A quick look on google didn't make me any wiser. I've got no experience with any of this, so I was wondering if you guys knew something?
Thanks
