Very Frustrated with Processor - Please help

hexeis · Post by **hexeis** » Fri Feb 16, 2007 12:08 am

So I took my E6700(ES) out to test another E6700(ES) and since both are now showing up with smaller multipliers.

The multiplier is 6 instead of 10. Even with the processor that worked I can't get it back to 2.66Ghz (multiplier by 10). But it's weird.

CPU-Z tells me 1.6Ghz while Windows "My Computer" properties tell me 2.66Ghz.

Does anyone know what's going on?

stupid question but...do u know if u have the SpeedStep option turned off in ur bios?..theres also an option called C1E support in the bios(was in my bios anyway) that could do that too...judging by ur voltage that could be it

saw ur new post there

....if i u havent checked ...check it...i had the same thing happen before i realized it was those settings...those are the only thing si know of that would lower ur speed and voltage like that to save power

SWEET! +rep to you friend!

Problem solved. I didn't know CE1 was speedstep!

LOL

I was testing several processors and began to think they were all broken. ROFL it's 3am here now.

Actually not really. I'm still at 1.6Ghz. I disabled C1E from the BIOS, what is C1E anyway?

I've disabled C1E, EIST, and ncreased CPU voltage to 1.35, and still when I boot up CPU-Z tells me

what is going on?

actually C1E and SpeedStep are 2 different things...that do almost the same thing..i had to turn both off on my motherboard...to get it right

Your CPU is throttling down to save power and give off less heat since you aren't doing anything processor intensive. Start something that really works the processor and CPU-z will show that the speed is 2.667GHz. Previous versions of CPU-z (1.37 and 1.38 ) didn't show when SpeedStep was actually working. I'm glad that they brought it back personally.

those versions saw it for me:P...just a lil smarta$$in...Bwall is right tho on what its doin..just turn those 2 options off in the bios and u should be fine...

If for some reason it doesn't turn it off, change your power scheme to something thats not like "portable/laptop", say to "always on", that should do it too (independent of BIOS settings if i remmber correctly).

thanks for the help everybody.

does anyone know where I can get a copy of CPU-Z 1.38 or something earlier than 1.39?

Why would you want an outdated copy of CPU-Z?? Google is your best bet.

1,600mhz is the speed all Core 2 Duo chips default to when Speedstep is active. C1E is an enhanced halt state for the processor, and is is a "deep" sleep state used to conserve power when underclocked.

DMB2000uk had it right, simply changing your Windows power schemes should make it go away. Right click your desktop -> properties -> Screen Saver tab -> "Power" button. Under "Power Schemes" select either "Always On" or "Max Performance". Save and close the windows out, and and that should do the trick.

I had the exact same issue when i first got my e6700 / 680i pc
