rofl i thought something was wrong with that number.

 

[Alex10789]

max multiplier is 5 atleast thats what it says in bios

 

[Alex10789]

k I changed it to 9x thru clockgen and it seems everythin is fixed. But I restart it and it goes back to the lower speed all I have to say is wtf is going on. It worked fine before and now it wont

 

[glugglug]

You sure it is the CPU clock multiplier you are trying to change and not the HT multiplier?

 

[EULA]

check your mb jumpers... I had my FSB forced to 100mhz before, and didnt understand why I couldn't bring stuff up to speed...

 

[Alex10789]

When I look in my bios it says that my current cpu clock is 1810 but when I'm actually on my comp it says 1000

 

[glugglug]

You have Cool n' Quiet enabled. The CPU drops to 1GHz when idle to save power. When the CPU is busy it will speed up.

 

[Alex10789]

how do i disable it ??

 

[JBird7986]

BIOS settings. There should be an option for Cool n' Quiet. Just disable it.

 

[Alex10789]

then that should fix it correct

 

[imported_michaelpatrick33]

Just run a program such as Prime95 or Folding@Home and then check your cpu speed. At 100% load your cpu should be at 1800. If it is still at 1000 then obviously something isn't right. If it is at 1800 then you know Cool N Quiet is running. If you overclock I would probably turn Cool N Quiet off.

 

[NatePo717]

change your multiplier to 9 in bios. Changing it in clock gen wont set it in bios and turn off cool n` quiet.

 

[Alex10789]

ill get yiou guys some pics of the bios

 

[Alex10789]

Pics were taken with camera phone so there crap. So I decided to just type the stuff up.
Current cpu clock: 1810mhz
Current DDR clock: 201mhz
High performance mode: manual
Aggresive timing: disabled
Dynamic overcloking: disabled
Adjust cpu fsb frequency: 200
HT frequency: x5
HT Width: Arrow goin down 16 Arrow goin up 16
Cpu spread spectrum: disabled
Sata spread spectrum: disabled
Pcie spread spectrum: disabled
Pcie clock: 100mhz
SSE/SSE2 instructions: enabled
Cool'n'quiet: disabled
Adjust Cpu ratio: startup(also changed it to x9 but no difference)
Adjust Cpu Vid: 1.450v

What motherboard are you using? There should be a setting for "CPU multi", I don't see that in the bios settings you listed?

I'm almost certain your problem has to do with Cool n Quiet, because thats what it does, it drops your multi to 5x. Under windows "Add remove programs" look for Cool n Quiet and uninstall it.

 

[Alex10789]

MSI K8N Neo4-F Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 ATX AMD thats the mobo im using. And also by Cool and quiet do you mean the corecenter thing??

 

[Alex10789]

you guys think that if I format the comp it'll work??

 

[imported_Phil]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but shouldn't the HT multiplier be at 9 instead of 5?

thats what everyone has been saying if you read the posts

update your mobo bios. venice will not be reconized with the older bioses

Formatting does nothing to the bios. HT Frequency is not what you want to change. You want the CPU multiplier.

I read the posts. Someone else said not to touch the HT multiplier.

However, as he's already had it working before now, I find it hard to believe that a BIOS update will allow him to recognise his already-recognised Venice core.

[Edit] As it happens, from the MSI manual:

Adjust CPU Ratio
This item lets you adjust the CPU ratio. Setting to [Startup] enables the CPU running at
the fastest speed which is detected by system. Setting options are: [Startup], [x4]~
[x12].

Uninstall CoreCel after doing the above.

Well thanks alot for all the help guys dont know what fixed it but what i did first was uninstall the corecenter then reinstall bios works thx guys.
