I buy this processor around 1 week ago. 2nd hand item.

This is the thread that sell the item.

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1471412

Ok but the problem is, its showing the different core speed. (1.6Ghz) as it supposed to do 2.9ghz normal.



How do i fix this problem?

Im using Gigabyte 945P-S3 (socket 775) motherboard. (I buy them september 2007-but condition still ok)

I went to pc shopkeeper near my place he told me that i can change setting on the motherboard (to get the right amount of Ghz) / for old mobo, or can simply change on the Bios.

I went to BIOS and find the thing to adjust the speed, increase voltage, but nothing change my Core speed.

Any otai want to help me?

Really sad just buy new processor but tak boleh pakai

Oh no, ur proc faulty already, sell me RM15 postage to KL. I collect this kind of faulty proc.

joke aside, this is the processor power saving feature. when idle, it will down-clock the proc so you wont read 2.9GHz.
when under load, the proc will go back to original clock speed. ntg to worry about.
but u still can sell me this proc for RM15. seriously.

bro dun play2
serious it is faulty? i think because my mobo is too old to sustain the extra Ghz. im using F2 ver BIOS, and be told that F6 ver BIOS do Support Intel E6420 & E6320 CPU.

the info is right here.

Is it safe to update BIOS to just try to get this fix. But the pc shopkeeper told me ur chance when update bios is 50-50

read my orignal + edited post.

Added on July 9, 2010, 2:38 pmBTW, this thread suppose to be posted at technical support.
BTW2, if ur pc working fine, dun flash BIOS.
BTW3, go read about C1E and EIST.
BTW4, serious buyer here.

I knew it has power saving core but i tested by playing 2 hard-graphic games and watching movie simultaneously, and it gave max 1.6 only.
Actually it is barely move from 1.602 to 1.607.

(I play World of Warcraft and Heroes of Newerth )
Im not sure how hard my test was but i think it was hard enough.

Added on July 9, 2010, 2:40 pmOk sorry , where can i find C1E and EIST? Thanks again

btw, i experience once that my overclock failed, and my bios auto set the minimal setting which mean my proc run slower than the clock speed. and i have to change it manually.

not sure if your case is same or not tho. but worth a visit to BIOS.

Turn off the EIST & C1E. Recommended to leave ON.
If you wan to see full speed of your processor, stress your processor.

I dun see a problem here.

-pWs-

try stress ur proc using prime95
download it here :

http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=103

p/s:always monitor ur temp during stress test

EIST & C1E you can find it in BIOS...find it in CPU Features or related with it....then you disable for full speed..that all..not your proc faulty...

Lol? By time you minimize the game, the load would be too low to use any higher multipliers. Games wouldn't load the processor much if you already have GPU.

C1E and EIST are settings in your BIOS. You can try prime 95/Linx to convince yourself that the processor works.

Run something like orthos and while its running observe the GHz. I've encountered a situation before where my processor was newer than the mobo bios and while the comp booted, the multiplier was stuck at 6x. It became ok after flashing to a new bios

open the CPU-Z

and run any of this

1. linX
2. Intel Burn Test
3. Prime95
4. Orthos

any of these will bring up ur multiplier back to normal .
its not faulty ok and please dont sell for RM15 .
cause if u do, u'll be the most stupid person ever .

I have tested using Intel Burn Test, it raise my CPU temp from 41c to 68c but still giving 1.6ghz core. I decide to stop the test before it burn out my CPU.
I think that was stressed enough.
I read Intel Burn Test(IBT) page and it says IBT is more accurate than prime95.

Ok now this is test using Orthos. I do not know how to read from the test, but heres the screenshot.




Sorry i have minimum OC skills here but how can I increase my multiplier? I noticed the multiplier on my CPUz is only x6.0?
It is has nothing to do with my motherboard?

Deep in my heart says that my mobo or bios is faulty, (always autoset minimum)

Multiplier is located at your OCing option in the BIOS
Like example: For MSI boards, its called the Cell Menu

please update bios as E7500 are built with 45nm.. newer technology compared to 65nm for E6xx series. maybe your mobo dont recognize well with this processor.. tak kenal maka tak cinta! hahaha

u better try update to new bios!..

tq adie82, i understand more now. it is certainly my mobo not support the processor. i will update a new one i guess thanks.

change mobo or change processor? ;p

Try to update bios. Is it true that chances are 50/50? For asus board, it will flash using Asus Update at windows. Just pray for not "power off" during the flashing period.

thats what ive been told at least. 50-50 chances. ill do that once i decide to buy new mobo.

right now my 1.6 speed is doing fine in most pc games. so i guess im sticking with current setup.

i will change my rig end of this year, after getting ps3 slim

Do u set the multiplier in bios?
make it as high as u can...
i thnk u set it as x6 only...

check in BIOS either your multiplier set x6.o or auto?

haha, TS already found out that the board not support the cpu.

what multiplayer oh? didnt found any setting to increase/decrease multiplayer in bios.
nvm de, this mobo is useless d. almost 3 years use, id like to think its obsolete already.

he refer to the cpu multiplier.
i think most motherboard offer adjustable cpu multiplier.
some old motherboard maybe not.

well...
i thnk he nd to change his mobo d...

haha, then get a P43 or P45 baord will do.

I just buy new mobo and the problem fixed.



tq guys for the help. appreciate it.

anyway my idle speed is 1599-1600 Mhz. is that normal or it should be higher than that?

should be normal.. the speed depends on the lowest multiplier of ur proc..

what board you have bought?

1.6 idle speed is normal... under speedstep... if amd, normal speed just 800mhz...

its normal, but you can go into bios to disable it if you don't want this feature.
