Speedstep not working?

[DiscoDave]

Hi Everyone,

I've just fired up CPU-z and noticed that my i7 c0 is not underclocking itself with low load.

I've checked the BIOS, all C1/power saving options are enabled. I've overclocked mine to 3.4Ghz and it seems to remain at that. I've disabled turbo mode, and currently run it at 172x20, which it is currently stuck at.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Check your Windows power saving settings, try switching it to minimal savings.

fixed cpu voltage or offset/dvid?

balanced power profile in windows power saving?

Nevermind, for some reason a couple of reboots fixed it. Now underclocks to 2Ghz when not under load.

Read somewhere else this is common with my mobo.

Thanks anyway chaps
