multiplyer 6 x should be 9 x ?

farlow2012 · 20 Apr 2012 at 18:02

hi all

whilst trying to push more out of my e6600 2.40ghz ive noticed on cpus and asus's ai suit thats it only doing 334mhz x 6 = 2004 fsb 2.00ghz ( i think thats correct) when it stock as stated above 2.40 :S, ive noticed it randomly changes from 6 x to 9x but only for few seconds,

im trying to get it to stay at 9 x 334mhz = 3006fsb 3.0ghz ( again if i got this right)

any one help please

when u put cpu under more stress it stays at 9 x it only on 6 x at idle any way t stop this

You need to go into bios and disable intel speedstep, (found in cpu configuration), but tbh, it can be left enabled. It works as a power saving feature for when your pc is doing low cpu use tasks.

will give it a go , thanks

i can only dissable speedstep if i leave the multiplyer on auto :S

Is there EIST & C1E in the BIOS.

intel speed step is in bios yes

some help meee

Why do you want to disable speed step? when your PC needs the extra power it will run at x9 multi, when it doesn't it will run at x6 saving power and generate less heat.

farlow2012 · 20 Apr 2012 at 21:02

so should i just increase fsb and leave everything on auto?

any one else help with this

What does CPU-Z show on the FSB and multiplier when fully stressed with Prime or Intel Burn Test.

farlow2012 · 21 Apr 2012 at 14:16

this is where im getting confused

CPU Arch : 1 CPU - 2 Cores - 2 Threads
CPU PSN : Intel Core2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz
CPU EXT : MMX, SSE (1, 2, 3, 3S), EM64T, VT-x
CPUID : 6.F.6 / Extended : 6.F
CPU Cache : L1 : 2 x 32 / 2 x 32 KB - L2 : 4096 KB
Core : Conroe (65 nm) / Stepping : B2
Freq : 1800.11 MHz (300.02 * 6)

cant get it to stress long enough i get 2 second window where the multiplyer goes to x 9 and it running at 3ghz or there abouts

RJC · 21 Apr 2012 at 14:19

Run Prime 95 and this will fully stress the cpu and the multiplier should stay at 9.

Also check your temps with HW Monitor.

using core temps at the min nothing i do keep it on 9x @3ghz it keep dropping to 6 x @2ghz when it 2.4 @ stock

confusing

farlow2012 · 21 Apr 2012 at 14:27

my temps are between 80 - 90

2.4ghz will only be reached with the FSB @ 266 and the multiplier at 9.

That's really not right, could be throttling due to the temps. Best check your heatsink, under load temps should never go over 70c (Very max)
