CPU declocked, need to restore

yuchungman · June 22nd, 2008, 04:07 AM

My Core 2 Duo E6320 mysteriously declocked itself from 1866Mhz to 1600Mhz, I've checked the BIOS and it states it's running at its default speed (1866) but CPU-Z says it's running 1600...What's going on? how can I fix this?

It's a power saving feature which drops the multiplier on idle, it's goes to default speed once there is load on the CPU.

yeah, load the computer whilst CPU-Z is running, it should jump to its max speed, usually CPU-Z updates the screen every 5 seconds or something like that

ic, I thought it was some kind of safe mode preventing the CPU from overheating (in my old case the CPU was running around 45-50C when idle, but i just changed my case to a larger, better one, so it's alright now)
Just load the computer with LFS, the multiplier did jumped back up, thx everyone images/smilies/smile.gif

if you dont want the cpu to drop the voltage and the speed, you can disable those features from the BIOS.

Disable speed step in the bios and the problem will go away.
