E5200 overclock not showing

up2nogooduk · 15 Jan 2010 at 14:20

Bonjour.

I've just installed win7 on another pc.
Tried little clocking @ 272 x 12.5 = 3400mhz. 1.325 v on the E5200 with the abit IP35 PRO XE board.

But it's not showing up in cpuz.
Any reason why that could be?

Cheers.

its your overclock, its not stable at all. look at your cpu-z core speed! 1.6ghz instead of 2,5. if you have your settings too high or wrong the mobo reverts to a lower clock speed than your cpu typically is. it still keeps your settings, but overrides them until you change. same thing happened with me

Yeah but only done 272 x 12.5 = 3400mhz went higher when on vista, and cpuz showed the proper results ?

Have you got intel speed step on, it will reduce the multiplier on idle, run prime95 and take a screenshot then.

Your bios probably reset and re enabled C1E and EIST.
272 x 6 = 1632
6 is the minimum multiplier for power saving state.

what he said.

plus you can run a benchmark and check the results from default to your overclock.

Try running this stress tester (OCCT). It is nice and easy to use.

When it starts stressing the CPU you should see the CPU speed jump up to its maximum due to speedstep. Also, it will stop if it detects errors or the CPU gets too hot.

I can't see anything like speedstep etc. does my board have this for sure.
My asus Asus P6TD v2 does of course. but can't see this stuff on the otherboard ?

Well this is what i see on this

but here it says 3.4 ?

What does it say when you press "On" and leave it for 90 seconds?

up2nogooduk · 16 Jan 2010 at 18:08

Oh yes of course...
It goes up

but still cant find this speedstep etc in the bios ?
Anyone that has this board could give us an idea where to look, as i can't seem to find any of them settings... cheers

P.s.. found something called a C1E

which sorted it.. thanks for ya helps guys,
Might knock it up to 3.6 and leave it as that

Cheers

eDIT.. and the speedstep was called EIST FUNCTION, which had to be disabled

Cheers
