Hi
I've recently built a Core 2 Duo rig with a E6300 processor. I turned off speed step (which I believe is what my DS3 Motherboard identified as EIST in the BIOS) to check clock speeds etc in CPU-Z. When I did this however, CPU-Z said that it was running at 1600MHz on a multiplier of 6.0x, whereas windows was indicating it is running at its full stock speed of 1.8GHz in the main page of system properties everytime I open it.
Is this a problem between core 2 DUO and CPU-Z or could some other form of Clock/FSB control be running?
edit
By windows indicating this I mean the second clock speed indicated for the processor next to the RAM, not the bit that says E6300 @ 1.86GHz.
