Check the CPU specifications with CPU id (you can download it from http://www.cpuid.com/) and compare frequenzy, fsb, memory speed etc with the retailers specifications
Example:
http://www.komplett.se/ (swedish)
http://www.amd.com/gb-UK/Processors/0,,30_292_8350,00.HTML
http://www.Intel.com/
or try Google, type in "amd 3200 Venice + review"....
if the CPU turns out to be overclocked you can reset it by reseting BIOS (Google "how to reset bios"). some motherboards have a small button for resetting bios and others don't so if it doesn't you must remove the CMOS battery (looks like a car key battery)
please note that static electricity can destroy electonic components in the computer...

∙ 14y agoIt can be very difficult or impossible to tell if a processor is overclocked based on physical inspection or studying the BIOS settings; the settings can easily be falsified. The best way to tell is to run a diagnostic utility from the CPU manufacturer, or use a system profiler like CPU-Z that can identify the precise model of processor, its rated speed, and the speed it is running at.

How do you cool off an overclocked CPUs?
The best way is to never let it get hot in the first place, by making sure you have a cooling system designed for an overclocked processor.
How can you verify that a user has not overclocked their system?
You will have to know the default processor and system bus frequencies, you can find the specifications for the processor on the manufacturer's website. Once you have that information, go into the BIOS and check to make sure the speeds match, or are close to the manufacturer's specifications. If these numbers are higher, then you have an overclocked system. Just restore the processor and system bus frequencies to default values to correct the issue.
Apple A4 processor on Ipod Touch 4 On how many mhz or ghz is it running and on how much max it could be overclocked on?
... I want information about Apple A4 processor for my project. Tank you
What brand of fan should I use for a computer that overheats?
Thermal take is a very good brand to prevent processor's from over heating. Many of there model's are designed to be used with processor's that are overclocked (causing them to run hotter).
What is the highest CPU speed for a computer system?
The highest non-overclocked processor in terms of just sheer speed is a 3.6 GHz quad core processor put out by AMD (AMD Phenom II X4 975 Black Edition), which is the equivalent of having a 14.4 GHz single core processor.
Advantages of Intel and amd?
Intel is a good processor, usually quite fast and powerful. AMD also a good processor, difference between them is that an AMD is easier to overclock (make it run faster than it should) AMD's are made to be overclocked. No real advantage or disadvantage just matter of opinion, and what you want to do with it.
How do you know if your computer's heat sink needs to be replaced?
If you change the processor to one that generates more heat than the sink can dissipate you will need to put a larger sink in your computer, but if the processor is the same and you haven't overclocked or anything, the sink will last forever. It's made from cast aluminum and just sits there. It won't wear out.
What does the 'OC' stand for in OC ReMix?
overclocked
Can you install a Intel Celeron 700 processor in a socket 7 motherboard?
No. The pinout differences between a Socket 7 and a Socket 370 processor are too great to adapt the Celeron to the older board. If your board is Super Socket 7 capable, you can run an AMD K6-III at 500 MHz (and it can sometimes be overclocked to 550 MHz).
How much can you overclock your Intel i5-2500 3.3GHz CPU?
There is no way to know how much you can overclock your Intel i5-2500 3.3GHz CPU because each processor is different. People's individual results will vary. Overclocking means pushing the processor beyond it's original design. Some processors already come overclocked.
What happens when you over clock as system?
Heat is normally the biggest problem when it comes to Overclocking. Overclocking generates more heat within your system. If your cooling is inadequate then the component(s) being overclocked may be permanently damaged.
How do you find the type of Intel processor based on cpuid or current speed?
The CPUID instruction returns values that indicate the vendor ID, family, extended family, model, stepping, type, extended family, and extended model. As long as you know what the values correspond to, you know can tell what the processor is. For instance:Vendor ID = GenuineIntel Family = 15 Extended Family = 0Model = 6 Stepping = 2
