Just OC my e2180, all went well, primed it for 24h it passed. I disabled C1E for the itnitial OC, and speedstep was disabled by default in my bio's (thats the way it came), even though at stock with no changes at idle it would use the 6multiplier and lessen the voltage on its own (my guess auto voltage).

 

So now after I OC and got it all done, I went back into the bio's enabled C1E, not expecting everything to work like before, and it didn't, no surprise there. So I enabled speedstep along with it hoping that would get everything running the way I want it to, but that didn't work either. I just also tested speedstep on its own and it does not throttle the voltage nor the multiplier. So now it stays at the same voltage I set it at 1.264v core voltage on CPU-Z (1.28750 according to bios) even though it drops the multiplier down to 6 when idle (with both enabled).

 

So my question is there anyway to remedy this problem, so I can the voltage to drop when at idle. I'm hoping its just a stupid oversight on my part.

Go to BIOS, CPU Configuration, enable CPU Thermal Control & C1E.

Actually CPU Thermal Control was already on, it was off by default but I turned it on 'TM2' right before the OC. And C1E was already turned on, I turned it off itnitially for the OC (speedstep was off by default). After the OC was complete I turned C1E back on as well as SpeedStep.

This is where I have the problem, when the computer is idle the multiplier is throttle back to 6x like it is suppose to, but the voltage stays the same and never changes. Hope this was more clear than the original post.
