Hi.

Had to reinstall Windows recently and lost my overclock settings. I managed to get my overclock back after some googling but I've lost the correct Intel Speedstep functions in the Bios. I've tried enabling Speedstep but I must be missing somethnig because my i5200k is not ramping down when idle. It's just stuck at 4.5GHz all the time. System is stable but I don't want my CPU maxed all the time.

What settings do I need to tweak in my BIOS to get Speedstep working again? My hardware is in my sig but if you need more info I can post it up. I have the ASUS UEFI Bios on my Mobo.
 
It's enabled but still not working:

it wont work if your using a fixed cpu voltage,you need to use cpu offset for it to downclock at idle

try offset
then medium loadline calibration
then set +0.040v in cpu offset,stress cpu and look to see what load cpu v is in cpu-z and adjust offset if to high or low

Ok, tried the above and still not working. Here's what settings I have now:

see where it says cpu voltage (manual mode?) change it to offset then in offset make sure its +0.040v

also make sure the first two digits are 0 so not to overvolt the cpu so +0.040v,set loadline calibration to medium aswell

your still in manual cpu voltage hence why its not downclocking

Sorry I uploaded the wrong Screenshot. I've edited above post to show my current offset settings.
 
Wazza, look again at Post8 as I have edited it, the first image, It shows the offset I have just added. Is this right?
 
You da man Wazza :D Changed to Balanced Power Saving in Windows settings and it's ramping down now. Thanks for your help.
