November 18, 2025Nov 18 I have two identical servers with the same bios and settings. One of the servers is my main and the other is my development where I try new things out before pushing the changes over to the main. When I stood both servers up at the same time, they matched processor speed on the dashboard of 4900 MHz, but after getting all the dockers/plugins setup on the main and restarting, it changed to 3200. This was a few years ago, but I figured the latest update would have addressed why there is a discrepancy here. Is the dashboard published speed truth? And does anyone have a recommendation on how to track down what is causing the mismatch other than installing 1 plugin/docker at a time on the development server? Thanks yall. This has been bugging me for a long time, but I figured it would get worked out in time. Edited November 18, 2025Nov 18 by MooseOnTheLoose Typo

November 18, 2025Nov 18 For me it lists the speed there, but in that case post the full output of dmidecode -t 4

November 18, 2025Nov 18 Author When I removed the plugin File Activity v2 and restarted, the speed changed to 3200. I reinstall the plugin and restart and its back to 4900. Should I report this anywhere @JorgeB ? Edited November 18, 2025Nov 18 by MooseOnTheLoose Tagging
