CPU information

[Guest]

I went into BIOS and clicked on CPU info and there were 2 options, the first
one was Hyper-Threading and that was Disabled. The second option was CPU
speed and that was Normal. Under CPU speed there are two options, Normal and
Compatible. My CPU speed is Normal, but is Compatible an option that would
make my PC run faster? If so, what is the draw back of using Compatible?
Thanks, attilathehun1

You would need to check your motherboard documentation as to what each
setting actually does.

That being said, I wouldnt imagine either setting would allow you much
speed increase unless you had specific overclocking settings set.
