CPU/Mobo Core 2 Duo E6600 shows as 1.8ghz in System properties in Win 7

[aka007]

My Intel C2D E6600 shows as 2.4ghz 1.8ghz in system properties in Win 7. I read in aome other post that Intel chips change frequency based on the load they are facing. I download Core Temp and it showed my frequency varied but only to a maximum of 1.795ghz. I tried playing 1 HD movie and 1 normal movie. Freqnecy didnt cross 1.795 ghz. I recently changed my mobo as my previous mobo failed. I have a Mercury DG 965t board. It supports the FSB of the processor. And also my graphic cards isnt displaying anything when i plug it in. I use the GPU port still monitor shows no display. The person who insatlled the mobo changed some setting in BIOS. How do i get my graphic card to work. What settings do i need to change in BIOS.
also i did prime95 test, even on full load i get only 1.8ghz. The problem is my bus freq doesnt cross 199mhz

See if you can post screenshots/text of the settings available in your BIOS.

http://www.bcot1.com/bios02.jpg this is the URL. IT has the same options except PC health status. I have a mercury dg965t mobo. The bios is Phoneix award bios

Lot of motherboards use the Phoenix BIOS, so the actual options inside each section vary a lot.
What options under Frequency/Voltage control? You should be looking for an adjustable CPU FSB setting.

Or else reset your BIOS and see if it detects the right FSB.

you need to manually set the cpu frequency / FSB from bios to 266 Mhz but doing this may OC your ram modules as well .. so make sure you set a correct ratio [ FSB : DRam ] here.

I did reset my bios, but in vain. I just have one option under Frequency/Voltage control it is enable multiplier which is already set to 9 and it is the maximum.[DOUBLEPOST=1389944163][/DOUBLEPOST]

How do I do that?

What options do you have under BIOS features, Advanced BIOS features and Advanced Chipset Features? Can you look for a CPU FSB setting under one of these sections?

FSB is not mentioned in any of these settings . Under vga settings i have dvmt size 128mb and dram is OS2 or something.

post a couple of snaps of your bios settings pages.

If not FSB, it will say clock or something else. Look for any setting that relates to the CPU speed and has a value of 200, since thats what your FSB is set at now.

Is there a PDF manual with your motherboard that you can upload somewhere? That should have screenshots of your BIOS options.

 

[aka007]

I'll post pics. What all options do i post?

 

[topgear]

1. Bios Features
2. Advanced Bios Features
3. Advanced Chipset features
4. Frequency / Voltage control

hmm.. there's no oc option except cpu clock ratiobut this is not applicable for your cpu .. anway, if the pci-e slot is ok then you may set PEG/Onboard vga control from auto to PEG only- save - reboot - shutdown the pc and install the gfx card and see if it works.

That is how it will be - intel speedstep in action. It'll automatically reduce the multiplier when there is no load on the CPU. Try running something intensive like prime95 and have cpu-z running. You'll see the clocks going up and down based on load.

If it is still the same inspite of load, then the bios might have a bug. Try getting an updated bios.

I will check if the gpu works by changing it. thanks

the multipler is not a problem .it changes properly .only the bus speed. how do i update my bios.?

 

[topgear]

check with the mobo manufacturer's website.

Do have any power scheme option in windows 7 enabled ...the sometimes are set default to not let cpu go beyond certain frequency.

i had noticed this on my uncle's pc with dual core E5700(1 core at 3ghz and other at 1.8 ghz) long time back. i could not remember what exactly i did, but i think i have changed the multiplier from default 9 to 15 which enabled both cores to work at 3ghz speed.
