FZ-11S doesnt throttle clock

mscode — Sat, 30 Jun 2007 21:46:21 GMT

hello, i have some trouble, it seems my new vaio notebook does not throttle the clock down. the clock stays always at 1.8GHz althought the system is set to dynamic switchin, i also tried note hardware control. Battery Opimized, nothing works, the cpu is always running on maximum clock, is this a MSVista +Core2Duo Problem? Do I need a hotfix or something, have anybody an idea?

Start -> Type Power Options in the Search Bar.

Check you have either "Balanced" Power Plan set in Vista or "Vaio Optimised" set if using Vaio Power Management. Switching will only happen with these two options selected.

Click on "Change Plan Settings" -> "Change Advanced Power Settings" -> "Processor Power Management".

Set the "Minimum Processor State" to 50% and the "Maximum Processor State" to 100%

What are you using to measure if there is a change?

If you install PC Wizard 2007 , open it and then minimise it.

In the top right corner of the screen is the actual current clock speed.

Windows will still read it as the maximum all the time.

Well i get a true reading with that program so i can only assume that for some reason the OS is not controlling it properly. It is very unlikely that this is a hardware problem as you are more likely to get no clock at all than a "stuck" clock.

Can you create a new power plan and set all your own settings and see if that works?

What percentage are you setting the min clock speed at?
