Underclock Frequency

Is the underclock frequency user adjustable? Under light use, my system will lower the clock down to 1200MHz, which is way too low for my taste. Windows desktop isn't even smooth. I used to run my AMD x6 at full turbo speed all the time and now that I feel like I am having a slower computer.

If you feel like you're losing performance because your CPU isn't running at full speed all the time, you can disable Intel SpeedStep or change your Windows PowerPlan to High Performance.

You can go into Windows power options and set minimum processor state to a higher percentage, normally it sets to 5%, I set mine to 20%

Thank you. Yes mine is at 5%. I set it to 25% but not sure if it changes anything. CPU is still at 1200MHz.
