Core Temp reporting in-correct Clock Frequency

Post by KenMar »

Hi,

Been using Core Temp for a few years now and recently changed from a HP Envy 17 to Toshiba Satellite P70-A 17.3" laptop.

On the Envy 17, Core Temp reported correctly, but on the Toshiba, all seems correct except for the Clock Frequency that always displays close to 3392Mhz (100x34) even with CPU usage at about 0-1%.

Any suggestions, have attached a pic showing 3 different gadgets?

Cheerz :) :D ;)

I can't say what frequency the other gadget is reporting, but what you see in Core Temp is the highest frequency out of all 4 cores in the CPU.
You can open 'System information' in Core Temp's Tools menu and keep an eye on each core's individual effective frequency.
The difference between 0-1% load is marginal and isn't an issue.

Hi,

What it finished up being was Power Plan setting in Advanced Power Settings. Have a Samsung 850 EVO SSD, I selected PERFORMANCE with Samsung Magician and CoreTEMP showed CPU Frequency as being 3292 to 3392MHz, nothing lower.

As soon as I changed Power Plan to BALANCED, CPU Frequency shows a minimum of 792 to maximum 3392MHz depending on CPU load.

Doing a bit more searching on your forum, I did see that you posted similar reason some time back.

Cheerz :) :D ;)
