Hello guys A few days ago I ordered a refurbished laptop. Specifically

Check for battery power saving settings.

I switched it to performance and it helped a bit. It's now running at 1200mhz but uy still no where near where it should be

Could be the speed for single core or single thread. Are you doing a multi-core benchmark?

I was using prime 95 balance test. Now I'm running IntelBurnTest on stress level maximum and I got the system to come up to 2mhz for a couple seconds but then it drops down to 1.3 and stays there with cpu Temps on both cores at a solid 55c with 100% load on both cores

I also went into my bios and saw that in the processor information it says the processor and then @ .90GHz. It should say 2.2 no?

Core M CPUs are meant to be passively cooled, therefore they run at a low clock speed generally. The TurboBoost speed is 2.2 GHz, but the CPU isn't capable of sustaining that speed. These CPUs weren't meant for sustained workloads like stress tests and benchmarks. They were meant for generally use, web surfing, and YouTube viewing.

Oh alright. That makes sense. I just wanted to stress test the system because it only comes with a 3 month warranty so I wanted to make sure ASAP if there was anything wrong and when I saw that it Wasent reaching it's max clock speed I started to get worried. My first time buying any used tech
