Speedstep wont disable

[gsrcrxsi]

So I'm not exactly sure where to put this, but Speedstep will not disable.

Intel DG965PZ Motherboard (updated to latest BIOS)
Intel E6700 Proc at stock clocks

Ive disabled SpeedStep in the BIOS and any other energy saving feature i can find, but CPUz is still reporting the multiplier being cut and forcing me down to 1600MHz.

any ideas?

Did you disable C1E as well?

 

[gsrcrxsi]

There's no option for that.

I've disabled

Speedstep
XD technology (no idea what this is)
Virtualization
Wake on LAN

Some other things

What power settings do you have configured in Windows? Make sure you're on High Performance and not Balanced or anything else...

i didnt think those settings did (or could) throttle the CPU if speedstep was disabled in the bios.

Its worth a shot... I know it affected mine.

Did you check the power settings in Windows?

it was on "balanced". switched it to high performance. no change. still kicking me down to 1600MHz when not doing much.
