Solved cpu underclocking when idle. c1e, cool n quiet disabled

[ganjiry]

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

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

 

[ganjiry]

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.

I hear you there im about to install a bulldozer 8120 with a water cooler on sunday and attempt to Oc it round 5 ghz if possible

I been doing alot of reading about how i should go about it so far seems like i have a grasp of the idea i just need to fire it up and see if i can get there

 

[ganjiry]

yeah i remember ur post. il keep an eye on ur progress as im gonna get the fx-8150 be once my daughters birthday is out the way. im running a similar cooler to the one u bought too. corsair h50 which was a vast improvement over the arctic freezer i was using. a friend of mine has a bulldozer with a corsair h70 i think oc'd to around 4.5/ 4.8 cant remember egsact number and he has good temps.
my phenom 965be idles @33c n maxes out @49c during intel burn test. ive read loads of comments saying they r no better than mid priced air coolers but 1 they dont wiegh as much,2 dont take over ur whole case. for around 50 notes u cant go wrong.
will be good to see ur results as our setups r very similar. roll on may then i can get my bulldozer
depending on ur results i may go for the cheaper fx-8120

 

[Solarstarshines]

I start tomorrow morning will keep you posted
