CPU-z bug?

from cpu-z screenshot it is due to ES (engineering sample) which shldnt be released to public at all.. only few ways to get it, steal from intel and sell it to public. for ES, if you arent lucky, u might get the 1 that is buggy. see, it shows 6ghz

btw, it could be another factor too, like, cpu-z buggy, the processor have something wrong with information chip or motherboard or something else

when u discover this "magic"?
Got 6.0Ghz processor?

i got it from a seller in lowyat, still asking him why like dis ><
but core speed shows 1.4ghz wor, which one correct?
A. 2.4 Ghz (stated on the hardware)
B. 6.0 Ghz (WTF?!?!, Processor Name)
C. 1.4 Ghz (Core speed)

I think 2.4Ghz as stated on top of the processor.
6.0Ghz I dunno what proc is this.

try stress the processor see?

try use everest ultimate?

if u mean stress it by overclocking it, i think my mobo cant overclock it eh...

is 1.51 the latest version of cpu-z ?

download prime95, stress the cpu, lets see whether it shoots back up to 100x60... if becomes 6ghz, congratulations, u got urself one of the good ES, and go get better motherboard, overclock it kao kao and put ur name in ripping.org

p4 to xeon,
u are lucky man...

of course is core speed la..

more like mainboard problem (BIOS)
most Xeon during P4 generation have HT except low speed models
1core 2thread

this P4 should run 18x133 = 2.4GHz round up
but why got support EM64T, i google this P4 SL7YP don't run 64bit

first prototype xeon or p4 mayb.. and cpu-z dont recognize it

so, if i change my mobo, i will get 2.4ghz? the seller said this is northwood p4...

Just run super PI , give us the result will do

Try updating your mobo bios 1st....
but u need to check your mobo revision no. refer at this link http://www.ecs.com.tw/extra/productinfo/MB.htm
then pick appopriate BIOS for your mobo here... http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Downloads...enuID=6&LanID=0

Your processor suppossed to run at 2.4GHz 533MHz FSB(133MHz Internal)... with CPU/Bus ratio aka multiplier = 18

If updating the BIOS still doesnt fix the problem... u have to manually change your CPU PnP settings...

*Note: Flashing a BIOS is a risky process..
