Are my temps ok?

Probably CPU-Z not recognising the 9.5 multiplier. Install coretemp and you'll prob find the 9.5 multiplier is working well

Have you tried the bios update?

Its the only thing i can think of if you still can't get the recommended speed.

But surely switching speedstep off should put your processor up to the default speed.:confused:
 
I did it for the first time on xmas eve was a bit nervous but all went well. I was able to do it on windows without going into the bios.

You'd have to look at your motherboards website to see what options you have available to you regards updating it.

Looking on here most people seem to use the usb stick method. As in save the new bios file onto a usb stick then boot into the bios and update it that way. But like i said you'd have to look at your motherboards website as to what options are available to you.
 
I had a big long reply fully explaining everything typed up. Then it seems I bounced the mouse away and lost it.

So a short reply.

SpeedStep is not bad, it's a good thing unless you have a specific problem with it. It will mean less heat thus less noise and it will save you electricity. It will have no impact on how well your PC runs. It can interfere with overclocking, so it's a good idea to disable while you find a good clock you want to run at. Afterwards it can cause crashes, so sometimes it gets left off.

In order to say if it's a good temp or not we need two temps. Idle and load. Idle is when the PC isn't doing anything. Load is the highest temperature you can get the CPU to. I'd use Prime95.

Lastly all modern motherboards should get the multiplier correct on a CPU when installed. It's unusual for them to get it wrong. To see what your SpeedStep running processor is actually running at, put the CPU under load and then run CPUz. You may well find it was the correct multiplier before you made any changes.
