Intel Thermal Analysis Tool

[Viral]

Why is the tool displaying that my E2180 is running at 1.2Ghz when it should be 2Ghz? I did have it running at 3.2Ghz and noticed that was showing different speeds too, it crashed too much at 3.2Ghz though.

is speedstep (e1st and c1e) on?

How do I find out?

look in your bios, since i never seen a gigabyte board bios before thats all the advise i can give for now. it maybe under cpu features or some other similarly named menu

Thanks I found it and disabled it.

Thanks I found it and disabled it.

Why ? its saving you electricity bills, and ramps up too full speed almost instantaneously.

The usual recommendation when overclocking is to ensure speedstep is disabled, as this can cause stability problems.

Mine was crashing a lot and when I tried a 3dmark test it locked up. Disabled the speedstep and upped my voltage a tiny bit on the cpu and it ran a 3dmark at 3.2Ghz. I need to test it out more tonight, will probably prime it or run super pi.
