Auto underclocking

varial · 19 Jun 2008 at 20:19

Hi guys

Just put my new parts together and its doing the same thing as my laptop so i know its a setting some where and me being stupid but i just cant find it!

Anyway, its underclocking the CPU when its not being used, putting it back to normal when it is being used.

Board is a Asus p45 delux, any ideas?

thanks in advance

Intel speedstep, reduces the multiplier when idle to save energy.
To disable you need to find EIST & C1E in the BIOS.

Thanks mate, that sounds like it as the multi goes down to 6!

Shall take a look

No probs, if your running Vista check the power options in control panel is set to high performance.

Why would you want to turn it off though?

Im not sure, i did wonder myself! i think its because its so new (i upgraded from socket A!) also have watercooling installed so wanted to have a proper gage off how well its doing, 32c idle seems to be good
