Soltek K8TPro-939 problems

I recently purchased a Soltek SL-K8TPro-939, and AMD Athlon 64 3000+ (Winchster core). 1 Gb (2 x 512) Mushkin CL2 Blue Line DDR400. System Post...recognises processor as AMD 3000+...sees meemry as DDR 400. When I check with CPU-Z ver. 1.24 it reports the Clocks, core speed @ 999.9 MHz, multiplier x 5.0 and HTT @ 200 MHz. No matter what I set the CPU ratio at...the x5 multiplier is what I get.

I am sure this is something I am missing in the BIOS when I set it up. Just not sure what. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
 
Well, is this the latest version of CPUZ? I would check with everest from lavalys only to have a second opinion because the Winchester is a new core and maybe not supported yet with CPUz
 
I can't see how the BIOS can report it as a 3000+ and then have a program within windows say its 1GHz CPU... strange.

try another program perhaps?

everything running OK?
 
The issue has been solved...disabled Cool n Quiet feature in BIOS and sytem now reads CPU Clock Speed @ 1800 MHz. Thanks to all those who replied.
 
If you are not putting load to the CPU, Cool'n'Quiet throttles down the clock speed in order to consume less power and be cooler. If you put load in it, the clock speed will increase accordingly, until it reaches the maxium values as you have specified in the BIOS, theoretically it should NOT hurt performance, so it is a win-win situation 🙂. But if you are skeptical then you disable it in BIOS or not install the driver for your OS, like I do.
