Solve : CPU not reading Consistency??

1.	Solve : CPU not reading Consistency??
Answer» Hello, Recently i started overclocking my Q6600 Cpu, rated at 2.4ghz. I have managed to GET it up to 2.5ghz, which i know is little but im waiting on a new cpu cooler. Now, I open up cpu-z to read the speed, and it keeps changing largely. Like from 2.5ghz down to 1.8 where it will stay at for a while and jump back up again?? MOTHERBOARD intelligent tweaker is off, ill just add. Here are some screanshots. Have you checked the GigaByte site for OC'ing info ?Notice the multiplier change? This is a feature known as Speedstep, which clocks the CPU down when idle to SAVE power and produce less heat. It can be disabled - look in the BIOS for EIST - but there's no reason to do so. Hope this helps.I was going to say the same thing as calum, but of course he beat me. Mine does the same thing. When not using much cpu power, it goes down too.Quote from: Calum on July 24, 2009, 12:21:46 PM Notice the multiplier change?

Hello,
Recently i started overclocking my Q6600 Cpu, rated at 2.4ghz.
I have managed to GET it up to 2.5ghz, which i know is little but im waiting on a new cpu cooler.
Now, I open up cpu-z to read the speed, and it keeps changing largely.

Like from 2.5ghz down to 1.8 where it will stay at for a while and jump back up again??
MOTHERBOARD intelligent tweaker is off, ill just add.

Here are some screanshots.

Have you checked the GigaByte site for OC'ing info ?Notice the multiplier change?
This is a feature known as Speedstep, which clocks the CPU down when idle to SAVE power and produce less heat.
It can be disabled - look in the BIOS for EIST - but there's no reason to do so.

Also I had one more question....

Does this overclock SOUND stable to you?

Stock:
Q6600 2.4ghz

Kingston Hyper-x 4GB 1066MHZ

Overclock:
Q6600 2.4ghz at 3.1ghz,
1.4 on the voltage.

Kingston Hyper-x 4GB 1110MHZ
5-5-5-15
2.2 volts

Cooling: Thermatake typhoon 1vOC'ing always can sound stable...
It's when it's applied that you find out if it will be that or not...Run Intel Burn Test, but watch your temps.
If you can make 10 passes, it's reasonably stable. 20 or more is preferred.
