my E6300 stays in speed step all the time-biostar T965

[nubietx]

I have the fsb at 300 and that should be about 2.1gighz. But the various monitors say 1.8gig (cpu-z) and core temp says 1.995 (with a 333?fsb). Voltage seems to say at 1.003 in cpuz.

I think you can turn off the speedstep stuff (EIST, I think) in the BIOS. I'm unfamiliar with that board specifically but it's an intel technology so it's name should be similar.

Well, this seemed to happen when I had reflashed bios (per vendor) to address the problem in

Ever since, it seems to stay at x6. I looked in bios and I cant find anything about locking out SS :/

thanks

Then manually raise your cpu multiplier to 7x.

Bios screen does not have an option to change the multiplier. It is locked at x7

 

[myocardia]

Is it at 7x while running Orthos? If so, it's functioning like it's supposed to function. I.E., it should be at 6x 100% of the time, unless you're running software that's putting much of a load on your cpu.

Yep, it was still showing x6 even in othos - selected load optimized defaults in bios and now its back to x7 again (even at light loads.. but better than before). Im happy now.
thanks
