Re: Intel Core 2 6420 running at only 1.6ghz

Don't worry this is a Common Error, Windows says its 1.6 ghz when its 2.1ghz but it still runs at the full 2.1ghz unless its coming up as a single core (if its a core 2 duo) then you have a problem, muddle around on your motherboards creators website or intels they might have a fix, update your motherboard bios, like for example with my core 2 quad, i used to get a intel Ucode error (from bios and ram...it was only ddr1 and i didnt have any ddr2 and the time) but when i got new ram, same error updated bios, Viola simple Fix, if not well Eh just wait for another response but yeah thats all i can help you with, now i shall goto sleep seeing though its 12am...
