Problem with OC

thecremeegg · 27 Oct 2007 at 16:51

According to CPU-z my pc is running at 2.4Ghz, then 3.2Ghz, the 2.4 etc etc, and apparently the multiplier is 6. It always used to be 8x multiplier

I'm using an e6400 on a P5B with 2Gb OCZ Gold

I've got the FSB set at 400, PCI express at 100Mhz, Mem voltage at 2.1V, and the RAM is set to run at 800Mhz. Before I got a stable 1:1 ratio, but somethings gone wrong :confused:

Any ideas? The fluctuating concerns me

Have you got the Intel Speedstep enabled?

If so, when the pc is idle it will drop the fsb to save power.

You can check in the bios as to whether it is enabled or not.

I dont have the option for speedstep, but i have turned off C1E and CPU TM. my multiplier is at 6 and it should be at 8 - i want my 8 back lol

You can keep Thermal Monitoring on as it will throttle your chip if it gets too hot.

Can you lock the multiplyer in the bios at 8x. I know on some asus boards you can. I can on my P5N-E.
