I've spent all night and this morning bulding my computer, problem after problem, and finaly i installed windows to only find out that the cpu is running at 2.4 ghz. I have disabled c1e(speedstep)

What are the FSB and multiplier when the CPU is busy? CPU-Z can provide that info.

fsb 1066.6 mhz
multi x 9.0
bus speed 266.7 mhz
core speed 2400.0 mhz
thanks

what's "CPU EIST FUNCTION" (bios)

It basically underclocks your processor when you're idling.

any help with this?
should i just raise the multiplier back to 10.5 in bios???

everything else seems like it should be

Have you checked that you have the lastest BIOS for that motherboard. Newer BIOS may include your processor to make sure it's read correctly.

What do things look like when it POSTs (pre Windows)? Does it recognize the CPU properly there?

 

[demonnn]

the board is the latest revision (2.0) it supports the cpu OOB or any cpu . The latest bios is FC ,which i have. It recognizes the cpu correctly in POST but at 2.4 ghz. the multi is set 9.0 but it should be 10.5

did you clear cmos before changing cpu if you did?. ROFL demonnnn posts 195, points : 1337

 

[demonnn]

i didn't but the board and e6300 are brand new, only used e6300 for first time on the board .

I think clearing cmos is unecessary in my case

Are you saying that the multiplier stays at 9 when the CPU is very busy?

 

[demonnn]

Are you saying that the multiplier stays at 9 when the CPU is very busy?

yes!

 

[GhislainG]

Then set it to 10.5 in the BIOS.

 

[demonnn]

Do I need to increase the vcore?

 

[GhislainG]

No. Just change the multiplier from 9 to 10.5.

 

[demonnn]

Done.

now 2.80 ghz

thanks!!
