CPU slower?

Have you got some kind of cool & quiet prog running that knocks it down whilst at Desktop ?
Total guess btw

nope...
if your guesing then my ques qould be more along the lines of ram where you have to set the timings... but i dont know as that was a gues to.
theres a pic of PC Wizard:
and another thing, why does it show in there as Q6300? its a QX6700

As we are guessing it can't be the ram as it shows it @ 2gGb.
What about the way it reads it as single and you have to add it up to get your actual clock ?
At least this guessing is keeping it on front page until one of the clever ones tells us
BTW Have you been in the bios and looked at the settings iin there ?
How long have you had the system ? who built it if new etc

what does CPU-Z show the frequency as
same goes with Intel Thermal Analysis Tool
do those report the same ?

I did, built it on Saturday.

update bios
load factory defaults, is my best guess then.
also, is your CPU multiplier unlocked ? might be worth checking if its defaulting to a funny multiplier or FSB
also CPU speed has nothing to do with memory divider, memory speed or timings.
Obviously your memory speed does, but this is defined by your FSB and memory settings, not the other way round.
so im guessing either your multiplier is being detected wrongly, or the FSB is defaulting low due to it being a new chip

there will be an option in the bios somewhere, probably near the save feature, to "load factory defaults"
it will blank all your settings and load the settings the mobo manufacturer put in. If you've put something on that you didnt know about, which caused this
this will sort it
the other thing that i mentioned, is in the overclocking section of the bios, you will find an option to change the FSB, memory voltage, VCore voltage etc..
is there an option to set the multiplier there, if yours is the extreme edition, it will, if yours is the none extreme quad core, it wont

PilotTait said:fancy explaining how to do those things you just said
- Load factory defaults = ...
- CPU multiplier unlocked
many thanks!
In your bios there will be an option to load optimal settings or something along those lines, as for the cpu multi, try making it 9 or whatever its suppost to be.
Run orthos and then see what your frequency is please too

Isn't it something to do with Intel EIST being enabled in bios? I think this program lowers your CPU clock when its idle, try running SP2004 and see if it goes up.
EDIT, Looked at pics properly, if you change your multiplier to x10 you will have 10x266Mhz = 2.6ghz

Looks like your multi is wrong in cpuz
Don
The 680i boards default to a low multiplier when you first install a QX6700, you need to manually set it to 10.

nope, thats 4meg per dual core CPU
its just 2 dualcore CPUs stuffed onto the same bit of sillicon so they each have their own 4meg of cache memory and manage it themselves.
Just ran 3Dmark06, graphics tests were as smooth as a babys bottom lol, CPU tests were something else , real low FPS on the cpu tests...
games run perfect so im not really botherd but it was interesting to run it.
end result was a score of: 11423
any good?
