Hi all,
I've seen similar issues posted before but nothing has quite helped yet.
I have a Dell Inspiron N5110 with an I7-2360QM. 4 Cores up to 2.9GHz.
This laptop will not break past 800Mhz, it is so incredibly slow.
I'm running Kubuntu, Using Conky and
in order to monitor cpu usage.
Things I have already tried include the following:
Disabling Speedstep
Bios does not have turboboost settings
Change battery
Change laptop fan
Using Frequtils to set Governor to performance
Putting PC under load to test turboboost, CPU just maxes out at 100% usage of only 800Mhz and is extremely slow still.
The laptop previously had Windows and was about as slow as it is now. Although i didn't check the cpu speed on windows I do think it was similarly locked to 800MHz even on 100% performance mode. Temperatures sit around 35 - 50 degrees, when I try and run a stress test it can get to high 60's but thats all. I noticed sometimes just after boot it is performing all the way to 2.9GHz though, however this false hope returns to 800MHz after a minute or two anyway.
Thank you in advance, happy to comment any more information if needed.
Cheers
