Hi

I've just put together the system in my sig. I've flashed the latest bios and loaded the 'optimised settings' in the bios.

Both cpu-z and Real Temp show the multiplier is x6 no matter what I set in the bios.

Any ideas? :confused:

From the menu in your bios pic, go into cpu feature then uncheck C1e and Eist. Reboot and you should be good to go!

Thanks - reading up a bit suggests I should just leave them on. Miminal performance hit for small power saving?
 
Thanks

I'm rock steady at 3.2GHz now at stock voltages - Prime95 test for 2 hrs.

I'll try pushing it more tomorrow. :D
 
I'm more than happy with this motherboard / cpu / memory / OS - It's very fast and rock steady.

My normal working environment is Visual Studio 2008, photoshop, Illustrator, SQL Management tools and various office apps - All running very quickly.

I also have run several games (COD4, Bioshock so far) and wondered if upgrading my graphic card would increase performance as I'm not sure my moniter would reflect the gain. It's a Dell 2007WFP 1650x1050

Any thoughts?
 
It's the best bank for the buck today. In my area, the 9800gtx+ is $70 more than 4850 so the ATI is the choice if I were to buy. The situation may change in your country. Bear in mind you can cf.
