I thought I had this OC stuff sussed - as I have been doing it, on and off, for many years.............:o [my current E6850 is running quite happily at 3.6 and goes a fair bit higher]

I am now making a machine for my parents.

I've bought all the kit including an E5200 and a GA-43-ds3.

So I build it and everything is hunky-dory.
I thought I would play a bit........................................

The BIOS says the bus speed is 266 and the multipler is 10 plus an addon 0.5.
Whenever I have built a PC the bus and multipliersare always initially the default.
I thought these cpu's were 200x12.5 not 266x10.5???????


Wassa going on:eek::eek:

When I set the multipler to 12 [+0.5] it boots fine and shows the 3.3 speed...

Anyone please hekp this old git?
 
Sounds like CPU throttling is still on. Go into BIOS and check if C1E and Speedstep are still enabled, if they are they you can disable them which will force the CPU to run at full multiplier but at the expense of losing the 'energy-saving' ability.
