hi all, got my new build up and running and ive been thinking about clocking it. when i look in cpu-z the the chip freq flashes from 1.2ghz to 2.4 and the multiplier changes at the same interval between 6 and 12.5.

when i view system info windows vista tells me its running at 2.4.

is this normal? cheers
 
lol, cheers guys i never would have known that

just off to look for it in my asus p5q pro bios now, hope i dont get lost :)
 
hmmmm i lost the bios settings, disabled c1e support again but the mulitplier is still switching around in windows from 12.5 to 10 to 6 or something? i went back and checked and its defo disabled, is there anything else im missing?

cheers
 
thanks bro, i will check my bios later against what uve just said uve got disabled. hopefully its something thats still enabled? it is strange though because last time when you told me that was all i changed (c1e) then it stopped it.

so when you enable it you start getting the drop and when disabled it stops? v. strange! have you updated the bios on your board? probably not that anyway but i was thinking maybe i should

many thanks mate
 
ok thanks mate, well ive jus seen your other post about bios so i will try that tonight and start again from a clean slate and try to just disable the c1e support.

wish me luck lol, cheers mate
 
cheers bud. whats flashing the bios mean? is that just an update? wicked, how long did it take you to get a good overclock on the q6600?
 
updated the bios and checked my settings they are the same as urs mate but its still doing it :(

whats speed step?

cheers!
 
my bad lol, just read through this post again!another thing though ive been advised to set my cpu/mem ratio to 1:1 but im not sure how you input that?
 
yeah mate, it was because speed step was still active i think, i read the whole thread again then noticed you said it right at the top :)

cheers for the help!
 
it was on allready, just updated the bios which was stock settings. can anyone help me with setting the fsb/ram ratio on that board? :)
 
yeah youve got a piont there, it was just annoying me seeing it swapping and changing, i think i will try it both ways as im learning to overclock it
