it seems like you have speedstep on.
e1st and c1e have to be diasbled to turn it off

 

[rippling]

how do i do that?

lol I just had the same thing and got all confused. Don't worry, the minute your system starts working it'll go back up, it's a power saving feature. Leave CPU-Z open and run ati tool or something and you'll see.

Make this subject a sticky already, gets asked daily.

 

[jak731]

you go into your bios to turn it off. its under cpu features

i agree with making it a sticky, i answered the question at least 3 times today

lol i to was just about to ask this Q after installing my Q6600 , but i did a quick search 1st and found this thread ,, yes this subject should be made sticky.

BTW does speedstep effect overclocking at all ? as in i am on air and hope to get 3.6gig am i best to disable it ?

Its generally recommended to disable it if your intending on overclocking.
