nismos14270r Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 (edited) I have my e6320 overclocked from the stock 1.86ghz to 2.3ghz. Its been stable for months so I didn't bother to check on things in that time period. Well, I ran CPU-Z today and to my surprise it is showing my speed at 1.96ghz and my multiplier is set at 6 instead of 7. Strange thing is, CPU-z shows it switching between 6 and 7 multiplier every 20-30 seconds and my clock speed changes. My bios is set to 7x, I went back and redid everything, and the end result is the same. Any ideas as to why my multiplier is changing itself?

nismos14270r Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 I just reset everything back to default. The problem is still occurs, my temperatures are fine, 39c with the stock cooler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iKillSteal Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 It's the intel speedstep thing messing with your OC. Go into your bios and see if there is an option to disable it. That should stop your multi from changing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingdingeling Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 disabling C1E and EIST is what you should do. It's Intels version of Cooll'n'Quiet, which tries to keep your rig .... well, cool and quiet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
