CPU speed

[ganaiwali]

is there any particular settings about CPU speed on the server type below

Vendor=HP
Model=ProLiant DL380 G7

think these are 2 cpu's + quad core processors

cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 44
model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5620 @ 2.40GHz

HP said to change the speed in BIOS from C6 to C3 .

I am not sure why and wanted to understand .

thanks

Have you considered asking the person who
told you this ("HP") what he meant? Some of
us can't remember all the details of the
original conversation.

well as funny as it may sound , that came to our hardware tech team from HP SME and they do not tell you why / what or provide any justification, they just fixed the server that crashed apparently because of incorrect cpu speed and asked to reproduce solution on other assets also , period.
