Vista multiplyer problem

Womble · 28 Jun 2007 at 11:38

I have recently update to vista and my cpu seems to be all weird

I have a E4300 and the multiplyer in CPU-Z (1.40) say 6x instead of 9

I previously did some light overclocking to 266mhz FSB with the ram in sync but now I have reverted to stock ram 400mhz speeds. Using PC6400 Giel Ultra 4x512mb

Here is a screenshot of my cpu-z. Any ideas what is up? Using f10 bios on G965P DS3 rev1

There are so many threads with this. Speedstep drops the multiplier when your cpu is not under load.

Oh, thanks. Done a search on speedstep and found out the reason. This is new in vista right?

no, speedstep is BIOS controlled, so it doesnt matter what OS ** on

Can this affect your OC then ?
