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

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

Reply to demonnn

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?

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 :??:

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?

yes!

Reply to demonnn

Then set it to 10.5 in the BIOS.

Reply to GhislainG

Do I need to increase the vcore?

Reply to demonnn

No. Just change the multiplier from 9 to 10.5.

Reply to GhislainG

Done.
