Question e6300 wolfdale 2.8ghz

[oiendoio]

Im not familliar with this chip and putting together a toy machine w/ scrap parts.

Mobo - Biostar I945C-M7B

Processor 1 ID = 0
Number of cores 2 (max 2)
Number of threads 2 (max 2)
Name Intel Pentium E6300
Codename Wolfdale
Specification Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU E6300 @ 2.80GHz
Package (platform ID) Socket 775 LGA (0x0)
CPUID 6.7.A
Extended CPUID 6.17
Core Stepping R0
Technology 45 nm
TDP Limit 65 Watts
Core Speed 1890.5 MHz
Multiplier x FSB 6.0 x 315.1 MHz
Rated Bus speed 1260.4 MHz
Stock frequency 2800 MHz
Instructions sets MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, EM64T, VT-x
L1 Data cache 2 x 32 KBytes, 8-way set associative, 64-byte line size
L1 Instruction cache 2 x 32 KBytes, 8-way set associative, 64-byte line size

I feel like its not 2.8ghz as it says considering it running at 1890mhz am i missing something or just a moron today?

 

[EarthDog]

Im not going to call you a moron, but it is a very common thing. Its hte power saving features dropping the multiplier. Have you tried putting a load on the CPU, say with Prime95 (Torture test, small FFT)? If not, do it, and watch the multi and clockspeed jump back up while in use.

 

[oiendoio]

Hit it with prime95 didnt notice it jump at all Warpspeeder shows me at 3.3ghz

 

[EarthDog]

No clue what warpspeeder is... What does CPUz say at idle and load?

Have you tried disabling speedstep, CIE/EIST?

Does that motherboard even support 266Mhz FSB Processors? Update the bios or go to MFG website to see if that chip is supported.

 

[oiendoio]

idle 1890.1mhz let me put a load on it and ill post back

 

[oiendoio]

full load only goes to 1890.5 at best then drops to .4

still running absolutely no change

 

[EarthDog]

Reset CMOS so it will run at stock? That FSB is overclocked for some reason... 266 is stock.

Have you updated your BIOS? I looked at the biostar website and couldnt find your motherboard. http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/index.php

Did you disable the Speedstep, C1E, EIST options?

Are you sure it is a wolfdale chip and not conroe? The Conroe E6300 is a 1.8ghz chip.

I agree with EarthDog, try updating your BIOS (if you can).

Been looking for em in this horrid Bios but i mean the cpu for what it is performs fairly well thats why im confused sure its not my i5 but this thing isnt half bad for a parts machine.
