Q6600 manual OC 3.0 showing 2.0?

It is if Speedstep is enabled.

just set it to mode 2 seems the same not worried this shits bad ass.

It starts at 3.0 then drops to 2.0 what is that about?

core speed?

C2D Not Running Full Speed / Wrong or Low Multiplier

Yes. SpeedStep will drop the CPU multiplier for 9 to 6 under idling or light loads. Run something demanding like Prime95 and watch the CPU speed incease to what you have it set to.

You can turn SpeedStep off. Go to the advance BIOS features page in the BIOS. Look for an entry about EIST and turn it off. EIST stands for "Enhanced Intel SpeedStep".

sweet, well knowing that is enough.

thank you

Read the f...ing sticky.

sometimes i get lonely. especially at night.  

TOPIC SOLVED, enjoy.

Sheesh  

lol, -1 for both of you congrats.

Here is something you should watch.

I hope this helps.

Why should i enforce your behavior?

So tell me?

this topic was solved yet you felt the need to indoctrinate me, I am not unfamiliar with forums.

it is insulting and intolerant you are the one who needs a reality check not my self-

thank you, (unsubbed)

SOLVED

The topic/thread would not have existed if you had taken the time to read the sticky or do a search. Do you have any idea how many "My processor is not running at the right speed" posts are made? Far too many, I can tell you. That's why he posted the thread that was made into a sticky. The joke was that no one would read it anyway, and you are case in point.

I didn't give you a hard time, I just posted the sticky. It goes into great detail. Did you even bother to read it? You're lucky, based on the number of these CPU speed posts, some OPs have gotten a lot more grief from a lot more members.

You get a little grief and you go into a tizzy. Me thinks you need a little thicker skin.

jsc didn't even give you the full answer, he may be tired of this question as well. There is also something called C1E, which is covered in the sticky. You should read it.

Just curious, what in the world are you talking about?

Someone lock this thread, please!

 

Then you should know to search before posting.  

I also gave you the answer in the first response to your post.

Yes you did, short and to the point, and I should have mentioned that. I guess you are more tired of these posts than jsc. Or maybe you figured that they might use the key word speedstep and Google it. Nah, no one does that, they won't even read the stickies.
