Disable speedstep?

[trojan698]

Hey,

Just wondered if it was at all possible to disabled speedstep? More specifically, any advice on how to do this on my DS3 would be greatly appreciated.

speedstep is in BIOS settings i believe, just like AMD cool & quiet

Rmclock will disable throttling, maybe speedstep too

Im in the same boat trojan698,got that motherboard also and cannot find out how to shut speedstep down,im thinking a bios update will help as i can only do 11x with the F3 bios :/

Try setting to "always on" in the screensaver panel, the thing at the bottom about power, that does it for my amd64 and you can use cpuz to verify

Ok here is what ive done to get this sorted.

Go to Advanced Bios Features
Disable the following

1/Cpu Enhanced Halt (C1E)
2/Cpu Thermal Monitor 2 (TM2)
3/Cpu EIST Function.

Cpuz will now show the correct cpu speed

Yeah, finally figured it out, lol

Maybe we should start an owners thread..!

Aye we should
Took me a while to get used to the DFI bios (AMD) but this intel marlarky is all new to me.

It's saved me cooking the cpu a few times, usually just crashes the machine when overclocking though which is another way of cooling things down I guess

Agreed m8,got me a x6800 cpu and it runs @ 1600mhz in cpuz,glad i got it sorted now though.

At the moment with my(case)P180 my cpu @ 3.2ghz with a Scythe Ninja Plus cooler with a 1600 rpm fan on im getting 27c for the cpu im well chuffed.

I did the same as this with my DQ6 but i left the TM2 on.

I think this is the overheat throttle protection, correct me if i'm wrong?

Yep pretty much, one program knocks the multipler down and the other reduces load on the cores by turning them on and off briefly I think
