Voltage is way high and the multiplier is skipping around

screen shot


Ok so i have a E6600 as you can see and its only running at 1.8 and it should be at 2.4 plus the voltage is odd, yes?

Yeah that's not right.

How are you at a 6x multiplier? On my board the lowest I can go is 7..

 

[setras]

I know it sound stupid but just chec your cmos for a dynamic setup on the processor. I had a similar problem whem i dropped a t7200 into a M/B it would jump around the voltage and multiplier. (quite common on laptop as part of the power save features)

Ok so I rebooted and tried yet again.

I've got the voltage now back to 1.3ish again but the multiplier is still down to 1.6 with a multiplier of 6 >_<

Help?

I have a gigabyte 965P-DS3/S3 motherboard

2gigs of Corsair PC4300 266 MHz ram. ( I thought the ram was suppose to be running at 533....? :? >_<???

Here is the screen shot of the cpu

and here is a screen shot of the Ram

This is the ram I bought :

it is called EIST. Kicks in to save power.

Your version of cpu-z is also very old.

...???? do you guys have any benchmark programs that I could use to test it to see if it is running at the right speed???


EDIT:
I just went to cpuz.com and got the "latest, which is 1.4...? installed, and it comes up with the same thing:

o and why can't i see my graphics card speed, etc???? (even in sandra... unless I just can't find them/i don't know where to look.)

I used Sandra instead and it showed different...

cpu and gpu stats
ram

Also, if I go into EasyTune5 that I got from my motherboard CD, I get this
Before it showed the same as the cpuz program....(earlier today)

Thanks for all the replies so far!!!

And it will remain at a 6x multiplier, until you start using the processor. Try running this: Orthos, and it will go back up to 2.4 Ghz.

EIST=Enhanced Intel Speed Step
Go into your bios and make sure that it's disabled.

I like EIST.....call me crazy. I am running my e6600 @ 3.0ghz (333x9) @ stock volts, and I like the fact that when I am NOT using my computer it drops to 2.0ghz (333x6). Saves power, saves the life of the CPU (possibly), I see no disadvantage.

As soon as I start surfing, run Orthos, do practically ANYTHING, it bumps up to the 9x multiplier.

! Thanks for the help guys. I think I'm going to possibly RMA my monitor tho.
