QX6850 monitor on CPUZ

[Thorne]

Does anyone know if CPUZ supports the QX6850, I am getting conflicting results when checking the speed.

CPUZ is the correct processor but show that its only running a 2000mhz on a x6 multiplier,the Bios shows it is set to x9.

Also I get a problem using gigabyte's easytune 5 which shows only 0's until I change the settings , it then overclocks but then the main reading goes back to showing 0's

I have benchmarked this setup and it shows that I am getting results comparible to similar machines so I guess I am running at 3000mhz so I am wondering if it just that the current version of cpuz doesnt recognise the QX6850

Has anyone had a similar problem??

Thanks

The chip will drop the multi when idle to use less power. Thats why cpuz shows it at a 6 multi, if you leave cpuz running and benchmark the cpu with prime95 or soemthing that will load all 4 cores then you will see cpuz readings jump up to full speed.

That's just Intel speedstep saving heat, power & noise when your PC isn't doing much.

My QX6850 runs @2GHz most of the time.....3GHz playing games and running benchmarks etc.

It's 100% fine....

is speedstep turned on?

To stop the processor throttling, disable the following in the BIOS:-

1. Intel SpeedStep
2. C1E Support
3. CPU TM Funtion

The above worked on my PK5 Deluxe with a QX6850.
