My pentium e6300 isn't working right?

the reviewer's e6300's core speed is at 2.8 mhz like it is supposed to be and at a x 10.5 multiplier but my e6300 corespeed is 1.6 ghz which is nearly half of what it should be... same with the multiplier. Also the instructions are different but I dont really know what that means and the name is different but i dont think that is significant. Does anyone know what is with my corespeed and multiplier or how to fix it?
 
^^ speedstep
you could disable it in the bios, but it's a good power saving feature. Notice how the core VID is lower too.

You have CPU-Z version 1.58, the reviewer has 1.52.2, the instructions are exactly the same just displayed differently, except for VT-x which may have been disabled on the reviewers board, either way it dosent matter too much.

Lower clock speed is intel speedstep lowering it to save power. When you play a game etc it will go back up to 2.8ghz or whatever its meant to be at.
 
i just went to the bios to turn off speed step but there is no option to turn it off. I have an american mega trends bios does anyone know how I can turn it off?
 
Turn off speedstep and then see what happenes. Sometimes it can be burried in the BIOS but it will be there somewhere.
 
I looked all over the bios but I couldn't find it but I don't think speed step is web on because I got rmclock and went to advanced CPU settings to turn speed step off but it was already unchecked and greyed out but c1e was on I turned that off but still no good
 
You could try and reset your BIOS to defaults. In the main menu there should be an option to load optimized defaults.

THG has a chart of Fritz benchmarks. The E6500 (2.93) scores 4109. Your E6300 should score ~ 3923 … (2.8/2.93 x 4109). If you CPU is really running at only 1600MHz, it would only score ~ 2241 in Fritz.
