My E6300 ignores EIST ?

Oddly my E6300 running on a DS3 does not seem to drop down from 7x to 6x when idle. The BIOS shows the settings are all enabled !

Anyone else see this ?
 
Me. I certainly do. Am using F4 bios haven't tried F5 yet. I am just wondering if Intel have properly implemented EIST on the 6300s as unclocked they are such low power low temp anyway :confused: Or whether it's an issue with the DS3.

My Abit AB9 Pro drops the multiplier to 6x at idle on an E6300.
 
**UPDATE** problem seems to be that CPU-Z is lieing, if I use Everest Ultimate Editions CPUID it shows the multiplier switching between x6 and x7 happily. Perhaps CPU-Z 1.36 has a problem with a E6300/DS3 combo, but I can vouch that EIST is working as it should :) ;)

1.35 works. The problem has been noted in the CPU-Z forums and hopefully will be fixed in the next release.
