Tpower I45 Blues - Thermal stepping issues.

Ok what gives? I have disabled the throttle function in the BIOS yet cpu-z still reports that the system is throttling. I have set the buss speed to 463 and the multiplier to x 8. This should give me about 3.7Ghz. cpu-z jumps between 2781 Mhz and 3705Mhz. If I run orthos it jumps to 3.7 and stays there. Both orthos and windows report the wrong speed, it's calculating a x9 multiplier which gives 4.17!!!!

Anyone had the same issue and know of a work around to turn of the throttle issues?

Sorry about the pics, I am learning and will get there in the end....

Have you disabled EIST & C1E in the BIOS, there also might be another option to disable which should be shown in the manual.

Some programs report the default multiplier of the cpu.

Thanks, will disable EIST and C1E and report back in about 5 min if all goes well

I found C1E in the BIOS and have disabled it. Clock is holding now, what was the EIST setting as I am not able to find it in the BIOS?

Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology - I beleive not all motherboards use this, or some use both.
