    Pentium D925 locked at 12x instead of 15x?

    Well, thank you all for helping me out. Hopefully, I can return the favor sometime. -Dave

    Pentium D925 locked at 12x instead of 15x?

    It sounds like speedstep to me too, because it will go to 3GHz under load and back down to 2.4 not under load. So, under normal idle, would it actually be better that way or is it best to just try and turn that downscaling off?

    Pentium D925 locked at 12x instead of 15x?

    OK, get this - when I bring up the EasyTune and PC Wizard at the same time, the EasyTune says it's running 3GH and the PC Wizard SWITCHES BACK AND FORTH between 2.4 and 3.0!!!!! I know this may be a dumb question, but is it possible one of the cores is operating at a different freq then the...

    Pentium D925 locked at 12x instead of 15x?

    Could WinXP Pro (MCE) be the culprit? The boot screen says 200x15 and the BIOS setting says 15, but PC Wizard and CPU-Z say the multiplier is locked at x12. What in the wide wide world of sports is going on here? And, on top of that the Gigabyte Easy Tune shows the speed at 3GHz and the...

    Pentium D925 locked at 12x instead of 15x?

    Sorry for not posting that. I have the Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 rev 1.3 (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813128042) and 2GB (2x1GB) of GSkill DDR2800 5-5-5-15 (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16820231098). I don't see a BIOS option to control speedstep.

    Pentium D925 locked at 12x instead of 15x?

    I've just bought a new Pentium D 925 which is supposed to be 3.0GHz but I noticed from CPU-Z and PCWizard it's 2.4. Both also show the multiplier locked at 12 when it should be 12 to 15, I thought. I'm new to all this, but am I missing something regarding just getting my 3.0 to run at 3.0...
