CPU-Z info

[steve208]

I have just loaded CPU-Z on new system, i have a intel e6600 running at stock 2.4 or so i thought, when i have looked at the info in CPU-Z it says
core speed 1.632
multiplier x6
bus speed 272
rated FSB 1088
Is this right or should it show core speed of 2.4

Noobe at this sort of think any help muchly appreciated. Thanks

You need to disable SpeedStep in your BIOS if you want it to run at full speed all the time.

Thanks is this worth doing or is it best to leave this as is. I take it it will run at 2.4 automatically when under higher workload.

Your not quite at stock either, Bus Speed 272.. It should be 266. your motherboards being a little cheeky , Your chip will be running at 2450mhz or so.

Don't some C2D board automatically overclock? I'm sure I read that somewhere...

i know asus boards back in the day used to give all their boards a mild overclock to make review tests look that little better

Make sure you also disable the C1E setting, or it will still clock it down to a 6 multiplier.
