Windows 7: cpu underclocking when idle. c1e, cool n quiet disabled

ganjiry · 09 Mar 2012

hi all
ive got a bit of a dilema. as in the title my 965 be c3 is underclocking to 2.6Ghz and undervolting to 1.26v when system is idle. C1E and cool n quiet r disabled. ive read tonnes of forum threads but cant seem to find an answer.
any ideas folks? as alway any help is much apreciated

I don't know if this will help

thanks for ur reply.
im already using the performance power plan and in the advance settings, processor power management i only have the option for cooling. no min/ max processor state. i dont think that option has been there since i upgraded from my athlon II x4 640.
i read that if i enabled cool n quiet again then this option would apear again but it does'nt.
it does'nt clock down when system has been idle for a short while. its when its been idle for hours. it hasnt done it yet today and pc has been idle for a good few hours

Sorry I am unable to help then.
But if it clocks back up when under load then I would see this as a good feature. I use it with my PC, when I'm only browsing the net my clock speed is half of the max which I have no problems with and when I need the speed it automatically clocks to max in less than a second.

You Disable cool and Quiet in the Bios

Not from the Opereating system

Go into the Bios look up the Cpu side see if cool and quiet is enabled if it is then disable it and no more throttling down

Yes I did read that but sometimes not all the times but sometimes you could have disabled it and not saved the settings , It happens if that isn't the reason maybe your board is having issues with the controller

ello again
i didnt mean it to come across arsey soz if it did. its deffo saved in the bios as i did recheck it once id seen that it was underclockin. so far it hasnt happened today. il keep an eye on it n if it happens again il drop my memory down to 1333Mhz n see if it changes anythin.
thanks again

No problem sometimes the obvious is not so obvious but even the best of us forget key things but hey we live and learn

yeah lol good way to learn is by ur mistakes.
i dropped my ram bk down to 1333 anyway. so now ive just gotta set some tighter timings once ive read some more.
