I just noticed my motherboard was not decreasing the cpu multiplier today. It was working fine a few days ago. I have not changed any bios settings since then. Cpu-z and everest both report the multiplier at 20x at all times. Cpu is idle and there was no significant usage by any program.
I went into the bios and loaded defaults and it got more confusing. For me at least. Cpu-z now reports that the multiplier is at 24x at all times unless all 4 cores are loaded, then the multi goes to 21x. The multi never clocks down, but the voltage does. I have tripled checked the bios settings both overclocked and default and Speed Step and C-states are enabled. The multiplier on both is set to AUTO.
I have had several other mysterious problems with this motherboard before. ie settings changing themselves (maybe I'm crazy, idk). I know it is a cheap board but it had positive reviews everywhere I looked. Time for a better one?
Does anyone have any insight into these issues?
(Yes i know I misspelled weird in title can't edit it!)
