CPU speed not updating on i5 ?

[krzychu70]

Hi,
I have following problem with part of my config that shows current CPU speed:

Code: Select all

;[CPU CLOCK SPEED]===============================

[MeasureCPUSpeed]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\PowerPlugin.dll
PowerState=MHZ

[MeterCPUSpeedLabel]
Meter=STRING
MeterStyle=LabelStyle
X=15
Y=15r
Text="Speed:"

[MeterCPUSpeedValue]
Meter=STRING
MeterStyle=ValueStyle
MeasureName=MeasureCPUSpeed
X=160r
Y=0r
Text="%1 MHz"

On my laptop (W7, C2D T6400) is all ok, config shows CPU speed changes depending on cpu load.
It also worked on my old PC (W7, C2D E8400) - it showed real CPU speed.
Recently i upgraded my hardware and now i have i5 2500K - now my config shows all the time only default CPU speed, even when oc'ed.
What is wrong?

I can't see anything wrong with the code (or spelling) and it's equivalent here works fine on my main machine and my i5 laptop?

Have you tried this on a different machine to see if you get any results there?

This is a known issue with PowerPlugin and Intel processors with Turbo Boost. The plugin queries the frequency directly from Windows, so this is a problem with Windows itself.

You may want to try the SpeedFan, CoreTemp, or Open Hardware Monitor plugins although they do require the presence of the aforementioned programs.
