3.2 Ghz to 2.8 Ghz

[Grake]

I bought a 3.2 Ghz CPU 6 months ago. Then my mothe board burnt out cause of some USB issue, so had a warantee and got my motherbaord replaced. Now its been about 2 months, still i noticed that I have a 2.8 Ghz cpu appearently. How do I get it back to 3.2 Ghz?

Please help.

You have to overclock it. Search Google on some tutorials on how to do it!

Is that safe? I don't want to go back to the guy to get it replaced again lol. He's a bastard. Asked me a million questions the last time I went.

Well... it wouldn't technically be overclocking, but I (possibly) had a similar situation just last night. I bought an ABIT motherboard, and dropped in my Athlon 1.33GHz, but the default settings on the motherboard were 6x100MHz, giving me a CPU that was less than half the speed it was supposed to be.

Long story short, check the BIOS of the motherboard and see if there's an option to set the CPU speed.

Id say try flashing the motherboard, maybe it isnt reading it right automatically.

I flashed it same thing. Im gonna look into bios. Try to find something.

Got another problem after flashing it lol. It won't let me set the time. Well it lets me, and I svae it in bios, but it goes back to where it was when I restart it. Any solution?

Edit: Went back to the old bios, and that problem was solved. Original problem's still there

Im gonna research overclocking lol
