Q6600 - CPU-Z reporting 1.6GHZ (6x 266MHz)

[tuksonrider]

CPU-Z is reporting my CPU at running at 1.6GHz (6 x 266MHz).

Core Temp and nTune are reporting that is running normal at 2.4GHz (9x 266MHz).

What's the deal?

CPU-Z

Core Temp

nTune

If any sort of power reduction option is on (C1E?) then your CPU will be downclocked while idle. Run something CPU intensive like Orthos and see if CPUz still reads 1.6GHz.

What's C1E?

 

[tooriski]

an option in tbe BIOS that if enabled, lowers the cpu multiplier when your cpu is idle, in order to save energy

A simple search on 'Q6600' would answer these repetitive questions that get asked every other day.
