Go into youre bios and dissable coolnquiet, c1e, c6, and any other power saving options you have in there, as they are there to save power and throttle down the cpu when its not under load. im havig some problems with my giga board at the moment and its doing my head in also

Thanks Keny i have all the power options in Bios disabled still no luck settings wont hold

thanks Wecelliott

If you press ctrl+f1 does it open more options to disable ? I've just sorted mine out and I updated to the f9 beta and then disabled all the power saving including APM which I never had until I updated the bios and mines rock solid now maybe moving 1mhz under load

No i do not see other options just general help topics, I just reinstalled Easy Tune 6 and it shows constant multiplyer. I dont know if i can be getting funny readings form CPU Z I just updated it.

thanks Wecelliott

Okay, so you are in fact using a CPU with unlocked multiplier. Just checking. Is there a later bios for that board, even a beta version?

 

[wecelliott]

Yes about 3 and one beta above what i am running

A newer bios could help solve you're issues, I know it helped with my gigga 990fx board, it certainly can't do no harm, as long as you're comfortable with flashing you're bios I would give a new bios a run.

 

[wecelliott]

Thanks again i will try to flash Bios.

I installed latest regular Bios F12 there is F13beta the F12 opened several new options one of which was the APM tab.CPUZ now shows stable readings.
Thanks for the help.
