speedstep

[seanandnik]

I have a C2DE6600 on an Asus p5be. My problem is my cpu is running at 1692.06 MHz, when I load it up it goes up to 2440.42. This is because of EIST or the Speedstep option of the Mobo and CPU. I went into the Bios and disabled Speedstep, but it still works. I think it is set into the CPU. is there any way to get into a cpu control panel or anyway to make changes to the cpu settings other than the bios?

You should be able to disable it in BIOS, I never had this problem with my C2D but I did disable most of the additional features. I would just make sure you have the most current version of BIOS for your motherboard. Than try to disable them again.

With think link you can find the proper BIOS version you need, and download it.

updated bios

i was running an older version (0601) bios so i flashed it to version 1002, newest version for my p5be and the problem still exists. I have gone into bios and disabled it numerous times all to no avail. So i just went in and enabled speedstep and hoped maybe some weird forces were reversed or something but alas speedstep is still working, though now it is enabled and i will disable it shortly. no way to get into the c2d settings?

Exactly, i was thinking the same thing.. Why would you want to turn it off, seanandnik??
