965 core i7 processor running slower than expected

1,694 Views

I have just received a new computer with the Extreme Edition core i7 965 processor, and windows vista, intel processor id program and futuremark's vantage program all list it as running at 2.65 GHz. Why isn't it running at 3.2 GHz... is this the Power on Demand feature? How do i determine if there is a problem?

Thanks!
