Woah!!!

Do you have the automatic overclocking on in the bios??? It seems like it is ocing 10%....

 

[Duvie]

Make sure dynamic overclocking is disabled under the "cell menu".....

 

[CalvinHobbs]

i'll check and tell you

 

[CalvinHobbs]

no overclocking is disabled....cpu speed is at 1ghz now...cool'n'quiet enabled...well any explanations guys....

 

[Duvie]

Try disabling the cool -n-quiet for now and see if that explains some things...I OC so I dont run with that enabled anyways....

 

[CalvinHobbs]

disabling cool'n'quiet has returned the original values i.e. Field Value
Real Clock 200 MHz (DDR)
Field Value
Effective Clock 400 MHz
Field Value
Bandwidth 6400 MB/s

dunno what to make out of it...well if i benefit from it i'll keep it this way i.e with higher values....oh well...

 

[Duvie]

Cool -n-quiet has benefits though I am not really up to date on them...may be worth reading about if you can find the info...
