I downloaded the free version of Everest, and I noticed that the CPU multiplier keeps jumping from 7x to 11.5x. Is this normal?

Also in my bios I had to force my pc6400 ram to run in 800mhz or whatever, but in everest it still registers as running at ddr2 400. It was noticeably faster though when I forced the ram to ddr2 800.

oh i've also been noticing that windows has been locking up and freezing much more often then it ever has (it used to never freeze). Now sometimes it takes 10 seconds to shut down, and others it takes 40...

specs:

Core 2 Duo e6600 @ stock (too scared to overclock)
ATI x1900xt
ASUS p5w DH Delux
Creative X-FI sound card
that's all that really matters.
 
You have speedstep enabled, so yes its going from low to high multi as a power save feature.

The e6600 doesn't have a 11.5 multiplier. It has 6-9. I have speedstep and all of those powersaving features off so my multiplier never changes.

When you set the ram to 800mhz in bios, thats 400x2 because the ram is ddr. Thats why it says 400 i believe. Make sure you get enough volts to your ram, to low and it may cause instability. Tell us what your ram is and somebody can probably tell you if you need more volts.
 
It seems that many aftermarket programs don't read the multiplier right.

When you set your ram to 800 you are effectively running it at 1600. DDR stands for double data rate. So you've got your ram way oc'd and is probably the reason for all the lockups and shutdowns.
 
Even windows reads my multi wrong :p

(I run at x7 instead of the stock x8 so windows says 3.2ghz when in reality it is only 2.8ghz)

Yeah I get the same thing with either a x7, x8, or x9 multi..... Kind of annoying really.
