HELP!!! this is freakin WIERD!!! Qcore O/C

HigHTecHReDNecK · 28-July-07, 07:14 PM

Ok , so im out in my shop playin with my Q6600 / ECS P4M900T-M setup and no matter what i do , if my system is idle ( with CPU-Z running) the clock speed is a FULL 1Ghz slower I.E.

I have it at 2.7Ghz right now but , say after i run PI 1M , it drops to 1.7Ghz ????????? and i can seem to find a place that stops this "Throttling"

Right now im running

Q6600
ECS P4M900T-M
1gb Samsung 533Mhz
160gb WD IDE HDD

I've read the MoBo manual but dont see nothin' that would cause this, an its annoying , when yer tryin to take O/C screeny's and do CPU-Z validations etc etc

Thats Intel's SpeedStep, Should be able to turn it off in the bios. Probably under CPU settings of something.

Thx Killert ,

I go thru everything again , see if i can find it

In most Bios's it's called EIST. set to "Disable"

reflux · 05-August-07, 12:47 PM

C1E is also a pain; not sure if it does the same thing but I disabled SpeedStep and my Q6600 was still jumping around changing multipliers.

$SOLID$ Necro · 05-August-07, 12:50 PM

I pretty much disable anything like C1E/EIST, or Virtulization.

Intel CPU's often throttle themselves down if they get too hot, even if all that stuff is diabled... I have read it's to preserve themselves, but I have never run acrossed it.

Not really any point to turn SpeedStep off unless your benching...

$SOLID$ Necro · 05-August-07, 01:35 PM

At least for me..If I am not benching, I am running Folding@Home, so my CPU never sees idle

So there is realy no point for me enabling it, lol

Cpt.Planet · 05-August-07, 01:52 PM

I normally disable everything in the cpu configuration except for the cores. Disable all spread spectrums and any crap I dont need like 1394, Serial connections that sort of stuff.

HigHTecHReDNecK · 05-August-07, 03:40 PM

thanks for ALL the help guys , I hope im not frustrating y'all to much with my NOOBNESS

.

Well i got my Q6600 on my Biostar board , and i disabled all the eist, vanderpool tech , thermal , blah blah blah stuff , and its not throttling back , but I can for the life of me figure out where the memory divider is or which option it is so im stuck at around 2.9GhzO/C

.

Not that i've played with it much , only a few hours , but .................. I feel so STUPID

. I'm being outsmarted by something that cant even open a beer can

Actually, apparently you should disable it if you use custom OC settings because it can put a lot of stress on the clock generator and power circuitry.
