Need some advice. I'm switching my EP43-DS3L mobo for another board because the gigabyte board has poor overclockability. I'm thinking of getting a Asus P5Q mobo. Is it good for OC? Thanks in advance.

what's willamette average temp for idle and load? mine is p4 1.7Ghz overclocked to 1.87Ghz (+10% increment bus speed), stock vcore, stock intel cooler.

temp 48C idle and 63C load.using OCCT for stress test.

damn..wat cooler?but vcore so high..if can hit 500X8 den its ok for me

not sure wat cooler he using..probably Deepcool Killer Whale
btw here his 4Ghz clock

waa mfcm become raymond's assistant already ar? hehe j/k

btw it's great seeing 4ghz and above become a standard oc range for dual core.. i believe with proper cooling, n mix with raymond's skill, his proc can go higher

too bad high clock on e5200 only can be achieve using low fsb....

GTG

Hi all I need help..

I just bought Q9550 & Asus P5Q.

Q9550 should be running 2.83GHz with 8.5x multiplier but cpu-z showing me only x6 or sometimes x8. From my previous experience this is some kind of CPU saving mode.. but I don't want this.

Anyone know where I can disable this?

in the bios disable EIST.

EIST and C1E

EIST stand for? Sorry this is my first time using intel

enhanced intel speedstep technology

its their power saving feature.

what i did was disable all cpu feature in my bios.

Hi guys.. Unfortunately CPUZ still showing only x8 multiplier after I disable all those CPU feature.. It detect correct in BIOS tho ( 333 x 8.5 = 2.83GHz) but in Windows it is (333 x 8 = 2.66GHz) only.

Or CPU-Z give me wrong value? What else I can use other than CPU-Z?

Thanks

Yup.... that's wat EIST stands for.... it is a power saving feature which is activated when ur PC is idling....

Our bro here has become the walking dictionary....

why i got bsod when i disable eist? right now i run my pc with eist on.

by reading ur statement there i suppose u use the wolfdale proc but cpuz cannot detect the .5 multiplier.
its either u have to flash ur mobo bios to the latest one or u use the old cpuz.
