Cpu Throttling on a 6600 @ 3.0gz? help

[dazsly]

Hi there, just a quick question.

How would i know if my cpu was throttling its speed? I am running a conroe 6600 @ 3ghz atm @ about 25c idle -45 max load temps.

I have this issue, maybe its me but all my games run fine etc and I get good scores on 3dmark but sometimes on the desktop when i click on something their is a delay i.e the start button or right click menu properties? anyone know why? apart from this annoyance everything is sweet.

My ram is running at 667 @ 4,4,412

Thanks

What hard drive you got?
could be a slow down there.

WD Raptor drive, i dont think their is any issues that i can see???

Does that board have the SoundMax audio and the J-micron ATA controller?

Both of them slow things down a treat, SATA DVD-RW + Sound card ***.

hmm could be the audio?

i have that board with the audio thing in aswell, and running at 330fsb also have the 36gb raptor for windows. dont see any of them delays here so not sure what it is/ my cpu s a e6700 at 3.3. and i have my ram at 800mhz instead of 667

its defently the sound card drivers if the audio is made by soundmax
because i had the same thing and they havent got any decent drivers.

soundmax audio = death
